The Matrix (1999): 15 Weird Facts You Didn’t Know!
#16: Larry & Andy Wachowski
"After the success of the Matrix franchise, both Andy and Larry Wachowski both lost their everlasting minds and haven't been seen in over a decade. "
#rememberwhen The Matrix took Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, and a black-coated cyberpunk nightmare in 1999 and turned it into one of the most influential sci-fi movies ever made. Directed by the Wachowskis, The Matrix blended philosophy, kung fu, bullet time, and simulated reality into a movie that changed action cinema almost overnight.
These are 15 weird facts about The Matrix, the kind you only notice once you see how deep the rabbit hole really goes.
Is there a reason why this video makes so much emphasis on the WACHOWSKIS and flash an image pre/transition?

"Lights were gelled fabric dyed, paint choices were made with the pallet in mind " - if no one else heard it. I did. Just not sure how intentional it was.

02:36 - #14: The Lobby Set Built to Be Destroyed — Wachowskis
This was a good movie along with the other matrix movies way ahead of its time for what the brothers used for their bullet time all of the fast waiting move that near used to avoid the bullets Carrie Ann Moss was hot in that movie, especially the outfit she wore these to me anyways I don’t know about anybody else lol

Why do you refer to the Wachowskis as men if they're trans women from many years now?

can someone please explain, why the frak the AI that "produced" this video used a short video clip showing the German wannabe-singer called Thomas Anders (slightly popular in the 80th with a pop music duo called Modern Talking") instead of Thomas "Neo" Anderson at 0:21? The two look almost nothing alike. Is this because the AI is stoopid and cannot tell the difference between the two names or is it just a kind of trolling?

So weird that you discuss specific moments or effects but show b-roll style random bits of the movie. Why not actually show what you’re talking about? Too annoying to watch.
@imanalius7691One of the coolest movies ever made. The fight scenes were amazing and the premise was mind bending.
@mydragonmoonterrible movie with a massive plot hole right in the start. If hes a hacker, and he's IN the matrix, and the agents can practically see everyone...then...well...how is he able to uncover all of this stuff?......lol, sure CGI for its time was great, but the movie itself was absolutely terrible. It was made ONLY to show off the flex of modern CGI, nothing else.
@TroothbombEadweard Muybridge was the photographer that created the bullet shot 120 years before the matrix was filmed.
@IreKire73I am deep in this battery vs CPU networking debate. The rumor is that back then they felt the latter would have confused everyone so they went with the former even though it violates the laws of thermodynamics
@swampThaangThis movie redefined how I see the world it literally opened up my mind's eye, so to speak.
@AliOWe used the lobby scene to show off our "state of the art" sound system in the early 2000s 🤣
@rosesnroses_xI hate youtube
@Colin54669niobe was meant to be aliyah not jada pinkett smith. they even filmed a lot with aliyah then she passed and they rewrote the part to b way smaller
@spartan62784Great facts. Why didn't you just show the last piece of the pillar falling? After all that you show non related shizz :(
@ChurchSt-hk4fySO wrong. If you listen to this guy, computer AI will eat you while the Architect looks on dispassionately chuckling with a smirk.
@derekstiles9214I still remember watching this movie for the first time in the theater. It was the movie I had always been waiting for.
@TheZoePath1:59 glad it was Keanu ❤
@godsmacked1000"...someone floated the idea of re-writing Neo entirely as a woman and offering it to Sandra Bullock, but she declined it." And then the Wachowski [BROTHERS] thought, hey that's a neat idea, if we can re-write the script, we can re-write our own identities.
@giantfisherYou don't know what I know!
@the_phoenix2088Blue pill. BLUE PILL ALL THE WAY. I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THE TRUTH!
@D.D.D-q5gThank you
@Myself-t3yA movie about the Transgender experience.
@XDeminoxanyone who watched this movie then including myself knows the bruce lee nose wipe thing.
@b0ng420#9 - There was also a yellow tint scene. This was used when they were in a simulation that was not in the Matrix. Namely, the simulation where Morpheus and Neo fought.
@the.real.Black306Blade did it before
@NeilD1If you like this you should watch Pantheon. 👍✌️
@Danchain420If you know about Sophia Stewart, her version just makes everything so much better and adds more sense to the matrix trilogy big time, especially when she said terminator and the matrix are the same universe.
@alikbeyBullet time was copied even by Shrek, princess Fiona fighting the Robin Hood crew look-alikes.
@RogerCruz-z1bI am the person who owns a trench coat from 1999
@speddie52The craziest trick is how the Wachowski brothers turned into women after the movie
@whatscreennameIm so glad it wasnt Nicholas Cage
@BrownCookieBoy5:38 Zoe Saldana?
@michaelzumaFINE! I'll watch it again!
@martin_likes_thingsNeo is the one
@scottrussell4742You bait a reveal that was common knowledge over 20 years ago. Please push past your first flush and merge self awareness with actual research, transcend this cheap tripe.
@danhemsleyI remember 1999. No internet, we didnt have cable tv but the hype for Matriux was real (through magazine articles)
@Watcher4111My God, I could not imagine if Leonardo DiCaprio played Neo. That’s like the dude from twilight playing Batman for God sake….
@WhoReallyCares-x2k19:06 so Reeves was the only one to use the waterslide?
@kirillkapaln4536The hook for me is when Moss flies into a tiny window to roll down a flight of stairs and brings up her guns to cover her path like some one could have followed her. It was down hill from there.
@kirillkapaln4536Shame about the Wachowski Brothers .... that fame has made them basically insane.
@NewRealizmI still own a leather trench-coat from 1992, it's in pretty rough shape these days, full length double breasted and still getting compliments.
@narrator69God, what terrible color correction on the last edition. How could this be accepted?
