The Matrix

[Richardp]

wot! no mother-in-law jokes?

 

[keyplayer]

I've watched this film a few times (it's on at the moment).

Does anyone know what it's all about?

With the greatest respect JulieL/B, it's not exactly Peter Greenaway is it?

No, that was "Escape From Colditz."

Very good hermes, I think you might be the one.

I watched the first 5 minutes with my boys, went out to stick the kettle on and never came back, that how good it was, not getting old am'I

Looking at your garden sheds ... Sorry Maso .... You were born old !!

.....basically, we are all living in a 'false world' - generated by computers.

Machines are now 'masters' of the world and feed off the electrical energy created by humans (who are kept in little pods). To prevent human's becoming wise to this, they are 'fed' computer generated 'dreams' - and this is the world we think is real.

Some human's have discovered the truth, and have broken away from their pods and travel about in a ship - their connection to/from the computer generated world is via a telephone. They search for the one person (Neo) who they believe can release all human's and rid the world of the machines. The machines know about this, and hunt for these people (in the guise of agents)

Make sense now?

Good synopsis Gary

Now please explain Lost

With the greatest of respect Keyplayer - I was only asking a question!!!

Yes it does, thanks

with a few changes I think this is happening already:

Machines are now 'masters' of the world and feed off the electrical energy created by humans (who are kept HAPPY WITH LITTLE IPODS). To prevent human's becoming wise to this, they are 'fed' EASTENDERS AND CORONATION ST. - and this is the world we think is real.

Some questions about the plot of the Matrix.

Where did they get the ship from, was it just lying about when they woke up fitted with all that specialist equipment. How convenient

Who cleans up all the poo from the pods

How do they get the humans to reproduce, given that they are asleep

Anyone who gives a convincing reply wins a free trip to Haverford West in January 2007

1. they didnt just "all wake up" they have built an underground city called Zion, near the core of the earth were its still warm. This has a military base (to fight the machines) and they have a lot of these ships, they are hovercrafts. The people who live in this city have been unplugged from the matrix, many of them were born in Zion, they have no "plugs" on their neck.

2. The humans in the pods have a lot of "probes" / "plugs" in them, one of which, i guess must be attached to the backside, ond one to the other side. So the "waste products" are sucked away when they ocurr i guess.

3. Dont know, but at a guess, given that at some point Morpheus explains humans are "grown and harvested", not "born", artificial insemenation must have a role somewhere, babies grown in test tubes, semen and eggs extracted from "donors" automatically.

Try watching the film.

What / where's Haverford West?

 

[pickles]

I did watch the film, it's very good although the plot is a bit ropey. It's not very believable that these things have so much technology but can't find an enormous city underground.

Haverford West is a small dull Welsh Port, you wouldn't want to go there especially in January

No shortage of mutual respect then... lol

Could anyone explain revolutions to me, it just seemed like random action sequences to me. I didn't lose the plot, simply failed to find it.
