[00:02:14] consortia, just like in cyberpunk dystopias, not [00:02:17] just accomplices, but also the main beneficiaries of all this [00:02:21] chaos. [00:02:23] After all, isn't Elon Musk, the magnate behind PayPal, [00:02:27] Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter. [00:03:01] Like his super-rich Silicon Valley counterparts, he's still [00:03:05] preparing for the apocalypse and dreaming of a luxurious bunker, just [00:03:09] in case things get really bad outside. [00:03:11] So when Musk and Trump's daughter got into a Twitter [00:03:15] spat, using the red pill as a symbol of their views and [00:03:18] sincere struggle, it was Lilly who broke the silence on behalf of [00:03:22] the Wachowski sisters and responded with her tweet, which was extremely [00:03:26] clear. But this was not the last word of the two [00:03:30] sisters, nor their final creative gesture, [00:03:56] mass culture digested the Matrix, tearing it apart. [00:04:00] often, right down to a car brand commercial that was shown [00:04:03] during America's biggest sporting event, [00:04:19] You take the blue key and return to your familiar luxury, you take the red key and [00:04:22] your idea of luxury will never be [00:04:24] the same. [00:04:31] In the end, Lana directed the final part of the franchise, which became [00:04:34] a tetralogy, continuing the rebellion started by her sister against [00:04:38] the distortion and appropriation of the [00:04:52] Times have changed, market laws are harsh. [00:04:56] I think you understand why our beloved parent company Warner Brothers [00:04:59] decided to release a sequel to the [00:05:02] trilogy, what I know you said the story was [00:05:05] over for you, but that's always the way with [00:05:08] stories, they never really end... [00:05:43] no more than a series of very popular games within the Matrix [00:05:46] itself, [00:05:51] so popular that the parent company wants [00:05:55] to force Neo to create a fourth part, to revolutionize the gaming [00:05:58] industry again, [00:06:03] I thought it would be funny to weave a piece [00:06:05] of myself and my experience into what poor Thomas [00:06:09] Anderson has to go through. The bright [00:06:12] image of an analyst, computer [00:06:15] geeks, [00:06:18] loafers on the bare feet of the new [00:06:21] Smith, [00:06:24] diverse employees of the company Deus Machina, [00:06:28] hipster marketers, it's obvious that the Matrix is about [00:06:31] transpalatal cryptofascism, it's a metaphor for capitalist [00:06:35] exploitation, they also belong to the Matrix [00:06:38] generation, but they chose to become accomplices of the system. [00:06:43] With the help of numerous picture-in-picture techniques, Lana expresses [00:06:47] the bitter truth: we are all deeply mired in [00:06:50] the Matrix. [00:06:53] They took your story, something that meant so much to people like [00:06:56] me, and turned it into [00:06:57] a banality. [00:07:04] That's what the Matrix does. [00:07:07] It weaponizes any idea, any [00:07:10] dream. everything we [00:07:13] hold dear, [00:07:17] but above all, this film gives Lana the opportunity [00:07:21] to once again state what has always been at the heart of both the Matrix and [00:07:24] the entire filmography of the Wachowski sisters, the value of [00:07:27] love, love that unites people, whoever they may [00:07:31] be, and at the same time serves as a weapon of liberation and [00:07:34] rebellion. Are we acquainted? The rebellious [00:07:37] love of Trinity and Neo from the Matrix can be found in all [00:07:40] Wachowski films, in the painting. [00:09:12] together. [00:09:33] The directors offer not so much transhumanism as [00:09:36] transhumanism. [00:10:29] Being both transgender [00:10:31] and transgressive, the Wachowskis' films have been permeated by [00:10:35] the prefix "Trans" from the very beginning, and the Matrix tetralogy was a vivid [00:10:38] example of this. [00:10:41] Today, our much-lauded works are viewed critically through the prism of [00:10:44] our transgender identity, and that's great, because it's a great [00:10:48] reminder that art is not static, although the ideas of [00:10:51] identity and transformation are crucial components of our. [00:11:04] mutable love, which undermines social foundations, [00:11:08] even to the point of turning [00:12:06] is deeply touching. It's [00:12:09] a feeling that goes beyond cinematic fiction. [00:12:12] There's an almost physical sensation that they're mutating, as if their [00:12:16] biological bodies are giving way to digital [00:12:20] versions of themselves, as if over time they've carried [00:12:22] a part of themselves. [00:12:27] Their semi-digital faces take on a timeless [00:12:30] dimension. [00:12:40] In the film, the characters observe a flock of birds several [00:12:43] times, flying in a dense [00:12:44] wedge. [00:12:48] These flocks, resembling a robot guard, have a special [00:12:51] structure. The more numerous they are, the less [00:12:55] influence each individual has on the group, and the less [00:12:58] likely they are to disrupt the overall formation with random, isolated [00:13:02] movements. [00:13:09] Lana, Lilly, Neo and Trinity [00:13:13] call on us to shake up this mass behavior, [00:13:17] to take a giant leap into the void to destabilize the Matrix [00:13:20] and re-imagine the digital world. [00:13:28] It remains to be seen how future generations will deal with [00:13:32] reality. Once I was having dinner at a friend's house and his children were [00:13:36] next to us. They hadn't seen the film The Matrix, so I start [00:13:39] telling them, well, there's this guy, he lives in a virtual world, and then [00:13:42] he finds out that a real world exists, and he seriously asks [00:13:45] himself what's real and what's not, he desperately needs to know what's really [00:13:49] real and what's not, then the girl asks, why? [00:13:53] I was surprised. What do you mean, why? And she said, [00:13:57] what does it matter if it's real or not? I was stunned. [00:14:00] What? You don't care if it's real or not? Well, no, she answered [00:14:54] approach [00:15:26] Today at 10:05 PM on ETV [00:15:28] Plus. [00:15:50] My name is Alexander Armstrong and I am exploring a large rock [00:15:53] in the middle of the Atlantic, which could well have been called [00:15:57] the land of molten lava, instead it was called [00:16:01] Iceland, which also fits.
