Am I really the only one who likes The Matrix as a trilogy? I thought it only started to get anywhere near "deep" after the first movie.
I love the Matrix trilogy as well!!!
First the drama,then the action and the resolution.It`s great.

Inception.
Dun no yet.

There was a discussion about this film in this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/asian-films-old-and-new-recommendations-discussion-and-appreciation-293034
Essentially, if you're willing to go that far, you've cheated yourself unless you've gone a lot farther.

Hopefully they will not screw so much with the 2013 remake ...

Shutter Island is deep,even Watchmen is deeper than the Matrix.But Inception is a great movie,not just deep drama stuff but great cinematography great actions and superb acting for that kind of movie.So Inception is a masterpiece 
Inception was a good MOVIE I'll give it that. It was a good idea. But it wasn't like, educational. Except that I know not to fall asleep on Airplanes now... Right?

Ever since I said that the Matrix theory was older than Pilgrims, I wanted to prove it.
When I was like 14, I was into Gnosticism and Archons and I ran into a page on Wikipedia. According to my memory, it was about the middle ages, and demons called "Flyers" that create an illusionary world for us to believe in, while they farm us like in the Matrix (aka we die).
But I can't find the article. I've tried all variations of: Flyers, Gliders, Demons, Middle Ages, Illusion, False Reality, Matrix
And I can't find it...

The Matrix put nothing new in my head, nor did it affect me in any deep way, either emotionally, or in a cerebral way. Watch my movie selections. Trust me.
I mean, it put new stuff in my head, but I was 5 when I saw it, so most of the stuff in the Matrix was new to me.
But I was on mushrooms with some friends once, and they were all talking about the Matrix, and I was just kinda sitting there silently thinking about all their words.
And I finally decided to speak, and I said: "Its just like, a movie about having all the cheat codes in a video game". And they all felt really stupid for talking about it like it was such an important movie.
Even the difference between being "in" and "out" of the matrix. It's just like a gamer contrasting his own shitty reality (living in his mom's basement) to the game (being a awesome murder hero). And he's even a hacker, he just "mods" life. And the programmers (people like mouse, Morpheus, etc) are all amazed because they have to go through shit tons of code, and still can't make things like that happen in the game. "Video Game Jesus".
The Matrix just isn't deep. Period.
Watch Edward Yang's Yi Yi, and you'll realize there is a higher level of cinema. A random Google search yielded this review linked below. I don't necessarily want you to read it all the way through, as there may be spoilers, but you might read the first paragraph or so to get an idea of the greatness of the film.

Sounds like a good movie, he almost just writes about how it affected him in the review, and not the movie itself.
He echoes my sentiments, and pretty much everyone I know who has seen it, and in discussion on line. It is one of the most important films made, and cinephiles know it. Interestingly, another film on my list shows up in that series (best films of the decade). I didn't plan this. I just discovered the site a few minutes ago. Here's the other film: http://www.reverseshot.com/article/3_mood_love

Which is deeper?
And how can I get deeper still, I wish to explore.
And how can I get deeper still, I wish to explore.
My asshole is deeper than those movies.
The Matrix theory has been around since before Pilgrims, and Inception was just like "Let's go six layers in, but not actually get into any real world dream science."
Pretty much agreed. I'll keep repeating myself until someone gets it. Watch these instead:
2001: A Space Odyssey: Humanity's place in the Universe
The Face of Another: Psychological study of identity and its meaning
Pale Flower: Nihilism and self destruction
Yi Yi: Affirmation of being human
The Human Condition: Being defiant within a war machine
Woman in the Dunes: Another muse on identity and its role in society
Sansho the Bailiff: I don't know where to begin
2046: A meditation on love and longing
In the Mood for Love: same as above
Days of Being Wild: same as above
Definitely will check them out.
Have you seen I Heart Huckabees?
I have not. I don't even think I've heard of it. I'll look it up.
Now, in regard to deepness, my selections, although most are unheard of to the crowd here, are rather famous (2001 being obvious), but the other selections are major, just not to Joe Sixpack and Soccer Mom Sally. I think most of those picks are on the top 100 films of all time, on several polls, and picks of critics and film festivals worldwide. In other words, I'm not just naming some obscure favorites of mine - I'm naming cinematic treasures.
They are deep, profound, beautiful, thought provoking, and emotionally affecting. But you've got to be willing to watch subtitles, and in some cases, black and white. If that puts you off, then you're just not choosing to walk through that door which leads to other cultural riches of cinema.
Are you going to step through that door?
I didn't just list a movie I liked either, it's a crazy movie about coincidence, and will power, and giving in to the flow. Or not giving in.
It may not be a classic or a "cinematic gem", but it's an awesome movie about human nature and the universe.
I'm down to read subtitles, once I get into a movie, I don't even realize I'm reading.
You've just been handed gold. And I will take a look at your suggestion. Thank you.
