From the 1996 draft: Morpheus: Without the sun, the machines sought out a new energy source to survive. They discovered a new form of fusion. All that was required to initiate the reaction was a small electric charge. ... The human body generates more bio-electricity than a 120-volt battery and over 25,000 B.T.U.'s of body heat ... We are, as an energy source, easily renewable and completely recyclable ... All they needed to control this new battery was something to occupy our mind. This still makes more scientific sense than the final version, which said that humans were the actual source of energy rather than the batteries for the energy source. After more googling:

... time to revisit the Ultimate Matrix Collection. I did return to the film critics/philosophers' commentary of the movies and took notes; should revisit the other material too... and yes, "Goliath" hints at that idea... but that's no 'direct' proof this was the original version of the Wachovskis... Gaiman is known to put his own spin on mythology in everything he writes. | ||

Forum Posts: 4842 Comments: 381 Reviews: 13 | A whole is what has a beginning and middle and end. A beginning is that which is not a necessary consequent of anything else but after which something else exists or happens as a natural result. An end on the contrary is that which is inevitably or, as a rule, the natural result of something else but from which nothing else follows; a middle follows something else and something follows from it. Well constructed plots must not therefore begin and end at random, but must embody the formulae we have stated. http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:abo:tlg,0086,034:1450b Aristot.

"Reeves has proven over the roughly 30 years of his acting career to be an essentially generous and curious performer with a near-beatific ability to be utterly present. This is often mistaken for a blank-slate quality. But he is far from blank. He has a roiling inner life, from the moment we meet him in The Matrix — surrounded by the detritus of his largely digital existence and with Massive Attack slinking from his headphones. As we watch him rebound from navigating a maze of cubicles with only the voice of a stranger as his guide to joyfully showcasing Yuen Woo-ping’s ecstatic fight choreography, we feel not only the wonder of this world the Wachowskis have created, but the joy of witnessing a star go supernova." | ||

Forum Posts: 1101 Comments: 48 Reviews: 0 | So... someone's got to say it: these films do not and have never been a "cultural cause" for mass shootings, Diane Sawyer notwithstanding. They are not a recruiting vehicle for pathetic, hateful losers who call themselves "incels" to justify their murderous hatred for women because they refuse to require the needed (minimal) social skills to have actual relationships.
They are profound, beautiful expressions of what makes is human and the nature of consciousness and love. Just my opinion. |
