OK, I’m not sure if I remember correctly, but I feel like there was a line when Keanu Reeves was a top of the rooftop and he said “okey-dokey free my mind before he tried to jump and fall. I guess nobody makes it on their first jump. It is an amazing movie. I remember seeing it at the Pickwick and probably 1999 and just being blown away. It’s part of the reason why I became a filmmaker and I’m kinda let it be dismissed over time but coming back to it. It really reminded me why I like making movies. Also just the correlation of what the matrix really is and it’s when AI took over the world. It needed more power so it’s using humans and pods because we’re like 115 V batteries and as we die, our black sludge gets turned into food for all the other humans in the pods and they live in the matrix just to power the AI pretty powerful shit specially nowadays with all the AI shit going on needless to say it was very happy to see the movie again revisiting it 27 years later.
