It’s very plain what i’m saying

You Americans crack me up man

By definition yeah. But fans are fickle af

If I have 4 people rapidly hating at 6 am and I’m on my phone I can’t even see the actual people discussing the plot and that’s Meta itself

Eat yall fastfood, shlurp on that diet coke and enjoy your Marvel blockbusters homie

Fan service works, by definition

First hour was cool af

i didnt say that it wasn't art I said it wasn't high art there is a big difference there

just the fact that we are here having this discussion about it makes it art, even as a failed attempt its more fulfilling than a lot of fluff we see on the big screen these day

and thats something that you cant deny from the Wachowskis or in this case just lana, they always make you think and keep you talking

but as somebody that loves the art of filmmaking and writing I cant deny how unfocused everything else is

You are taking the word “fan service” to litteral then.

A movie can try and do “callbacks” because they think it will plz the audience but then it falls flat

You already talked about the MCU doing this…well, so does this movie. It does something trying to make the audience happy but it’s actually cringe as f***.

“Fan service” is not always well received

Dawg stfu

So I blocked them not because their opinion not valid but I’m not here to convince anyone to not hate this movie I understand hating it . If you actually read my impressions there are parts of it I strongly disliked or felt something was missing , but many of you don’t read

force awakens is way better it's not even close, at least it had something going for it from a technical standpoint

This movie is an imitation of a lot of the MCU tropes lol enjoy

the delusion to act like this is anything better than your generic marvel flick is something else

Bro I agree but I was trying to get this dude to understand “fanservice” isn’t like Guaranteed to be praised

He doesn’t seem to understand such a simple concept tho?

And to be clear the second half everyone has watched the trilogy and knows it was a reality . They are consumed with neo and trinity love but how many of them found love or a purpose besides neo ?

None

In og trilogy much of cast had a significant other in io none of them seem to

The second half is literally us

There’s no such thing as “high” or “low” art

That’s literally opposite to what it intends to be, art is free of pretension or status. Whatever economic value we attribute to an artpiece is a reflection of everything surrounding the art. Not the artwork itself.

It stems from a fickle, exclusive and elitist mindset to speak in terms of “high” art

I don't really think it's a deconstruction at all, just a continuation. The movies were always, at their heart, about love, about Neo and Trinity. Less about The One than about the power of Two, and the ways love changes us, makes us stronger, which I think, when taken in context of how NPH's character oversees The Matrix itself, keeping Neo and Trinity at an arms length, exploiting their love for each other to build a world sustained upon a desire that can never be actualised, makes its retooling of the first film and its structure really moving because it becomes not about Neo learning to believe in himself but about Neo learning to believe in the world and in life again through his love for Trinity.

This is what I think makes its meta elements not a mere wink and nod, or a malicious deconstruction or subversion of the source text, because by situating the original trilogy and the ways they impacted culture and individuals in the context of a world that takes everything you hold dear and twists it, reboots it, sells it back to you, ("It weaponizes every idea, every dream, everything that is important to us.") it becomes a film about fighting for the future by identifying what it is that you hold dear about your life, the art you love, the elements of your culture that have been swallowed up and spat back out by the system, and taking it back.

Niobe says “ Zion had become a matrix “ not realizing IO became one too

This dude really thinks anyone cares about his mindset for a block? Narcissist vibes lol

I’m playing with fire cus I haven’t seen it yet

Once you view the matrix resurrections itself as a matrix or modal it makes sense. “ when trinity and neo get close things get crazy “
