416. It's a mess!
……
Before the official release of "The Matrix", in fact, the outside world had quite a lot of doubts about this movie.
Many people are not particularly optimistic about The Matrix, thinking that the producers of this movie do not understand the rice market at all, and when they can choose Hollywood directors such as Cameron and Quentin, they use a newcomer like Nolan.
Whether it is from the production company, or the producer Fumie Ichibashi, who has little production experience at all, to the rookie director Nolan, and a number of non-top actors, including Angelina Jolie, are not favored by the outside world.
Keanu Reeves, the only one who can afford to support the stage, can only be regarded as a second-tier movie actor.
In such a situation, more people will think that they are likely to bring a bad popcorn movie, or even a qualified special effects science fiction film.
However, after the release of "The Matrix", it gave them a resounding slap in the face with its strength.
The film is just so perfectly done.
After the release of "The Matrix", it received rave reviews.
"Wow, the Matrix was really completely unexpected, I went to see it with the mentality of giving it a try, and I didn't expect it to exceed my expectations, and it exceeded it very, very much.
It's probably the most shocking sci-fi movie I've seen in years.
Whether it's in the special effects or in the story itself, it's the kind that can make people's scalps tingle with shock.
I highly recommend you to go to the cinema to watch it.
It's going to be worth the price. ”
"It's really amazing, it's hard to imagine a neon company that has never made a movie and can come up with a masterpiece like 'The Matrix' as soon as it comes out.
I still remember the plot vividly.
The fight scenes also have a strong sense of beauty, combined with cool costumes and special effects, which makes the whole movie look particularly tense and exciting.
There were no urine spots at all during the whole process.
The rhythm of the story is quite well grasped, and the suspense of the first half is paved until the end, and the moment the truth is revealed, goosebumps all over my body rise. ”
"The Matrix is really powerful, and it directly subverts my perception of sci-fi blockbusters.
Although it seems to be a film made by a group of newcomers, it shows a very high level of production, which has to be admired.
Many of the scenes in the movie are quite cleverly designed and ingenious, at least for now, it is difficult for any movie of the same genre to surpass "The Matrix". ”
"It's a great sci-fi movie, in the cinema, and at the end of the day, we all gave a standing ovation, and the scene at that time was enough to show that the Matrix is really powerful.
We all can't help but want to brush it a few more times. ”
"After reading it for the first time, there was only one thought in my head:
Wow, what a cool movie.
Whether it is from the story setting, or the costumes of the characters, the fight scenes, etc., it gave me a very cool impression from beginning to end.
And the stamina is very large, at the beginning of watching the Matrix, the end of the first pass may just be a process of putting information into the brain.
When you think about it when you go back, you will find that according to the logic of the story in The Matrix, it will make you doubt the reality of this world.
It's scary to think about.
That kind of fear really comes from the heart, and it makes people feel confused.
I had a hard time articulating and even started babbling gibberish.
How can we determine whether the world is true or not?
Who can give us an accurate proof of whether we are living in a dream or in reality? ”
……
Cameron, Quentin and others also walked into the cinema for the first time to watch the movie "The Matrix".
When interviewed by reporters, Cameron's face was quite regretful.
But there was excitement in his eyes.
Cameron said: "The film still turned out to be a great production.
I have to admit that this time, there was no error in the judgment of the top management of Yuehe.
Nolan should be a very remarkable young director to be trusted.
Although he is very young and has not directed any influential works, this has not stopped him from doing a good job in "The Matrix".
Whether it is the picture performance, the application of realistic and symbolic lens language, color and atmosphere rendering, and the expression of sub-shots, Nolan has achieved the extreme.
It's hard to believe that this is actually a work that a rookie director who has just debuted for a short time can contribute.
Before I saw the movie, I had actually read the script of "The Matrix" and a storyboard provided by Moon River CEO Qing Zhiyuan.
It's a great work, and that was my first impression of the script.
If it can be filmed and projected on the big screen, it should be a new science fiction movie that is shocking enough to make the whole world viral.
I didn't choose me, in fact, it's a bit of a pity.
But this regret is on my side.
However, Nolan did get a good shot of it.
Maybe I don't have the same style as him, but I must also admit that the new director really contributed to the fact that "The Matrix" was able to take on what it is now.
You can get a high score of 90 points. ”
Cameron actually understands movies very well, and when he sees it, he knows that if this movie wants to be filmed, he must add a lot of special effects to it, and even if he is asked to produce it, the cycle may be longer and the money will be more.
But Cameron himself is not sure whether the effect that can really be made in the end will be better than Nolan.
There is only one thing he is sure of, if Cameron directs it himself, then it is impossible to get the funding for only $150 million.
And Quentin's side actually has a similar view.
Nolan has done well enough.
Judging from the results, Moon River may have made the right choice, and they used the lowest cost to achieve the most efficient, highest quality, and highest level of film production.
Whether it's Nolan or Keanu Reeves or Angelina Jolie...... The combined remuneration of these actors has been compressed to an extreme.
The rest of the money can be used to fund the production of the film itself.
It would be impossible for any other big-name director to shoot such a good result on this budget.
So there's nothing to be angry about or not understand, the only thing I regret is that my name doesn't appear in this movie.
Quentin thought that if he had been filming, he would have done a better job at least in the action scenes.
Instead of using such an elegant and aesthetically pleasing fighting style, it may be presented in a more violent, destructive and tense way.
This is in line with Quentin's violent aesthetics.
Of course, changing directors is naturally a different style, and it is difficult for Qing Zhiyuan to say clearly, if Quentin comes to shoot, it should be another story.
……
……
The film has won the love of the audience with its unique visuals, deep philosophical reflections, and gripping plot.
Not only was it a huge success at the box office, but it also became a landmark film production.
First of all, the visuals of the film are breathtaking.
Director Nolan used a lot of special effects technology to create a virtual world full of fantasy - the matrix.
In this world, people are controlled by machines and live in a seemingly perfect illusion.
The main character, Neo, gradually realizes the truth of the real world through contact with hacker groups.
This visual impact and innovation made the audience feel as if they were in a completely new world, which sparked widespread discussion and praise.
Secondly, the philosophical reflections in the film also deeply touched the hearts of the audience.
The Matrix explores major issues such as human free will, the relationship between reality and fantasy, and artificial intelligence. Through in-depth thinking about these issues, the film triggers the audience's thinking about their own existence and destiny.
It's not just an entertainment movie, it's a thought-provoking work that makes people re-examine their own values and worldview.
Finally, the film's plot is tight and gripping, full of suspense and thrilling elements.
As Neo grows and explores, the audience experiences a series of thrilling adventures together.
From the contact with the hacker group, to the fight against the machine, to the final showdown, every plot is breathtaking and exciting.
This compact plot design makes the audience unable to extricate themselves from the story and experience their growth and challenges with the characters.
In short, after the release of "The Matrix", it received rave reviews.
It not only made breakthrough innovations in technology, but also brought a deep touch to the audience in terms of philosophical thinking and plot design.
The success of this film lies not only in its commercial value, but also in its contribution and influence on the art of cinema.
It has become a classic film work that will surely go down in the history of cinema, lead the future trend of cinema, and will continue to influence the audience's thinking and creation.
……
Everything in "The Matrix" comes from the setting of "Brain in a Vat", and after it is concretized, it is presented through a movie.
In the movie, there is no more chaotic narrative, such as multiple dreams, but it tells you bluntly that after leaving the virtual world, you can return to reality.
Otherwise, it will provoke even greater fear.
But even so, "The Matrix" still brought a lot of impact to the audience and the whole world.
Although The Matrix is not the first work to think about the reality of the world, it has rekindled this highly philosophical topic in a very cool and sci-fi way.
"It's terrible, my whole person is not very good after watching "The Matrix". Now everyone is an NPC, and the world is not real.
It seems like one second this person is my friend or family member, and the next second he could become an agent in the Matrix, wearing sunglasses and a suit to arrest me.
Or that I have been brainwashed myself, living in a completely virtual world, and I don't know what the environment I am in is real. ”
"In the setting of the brain in a vat, all human perception comes from the brain, and the brain receives information and converts it into bioelectric signals, thus simulating our perception of the world.
However, this is a paradox in itself, and since we are a fiction of a brain in a vat, there is no way to verify its authenticity.
Perhaps, death is the only destination. ”
In fact, similar conjectures have appeared thousands of years ago, and there was a man named Zhuangzi in China who put forward his own views on dreams.
While dreaming, Zhuangzi dreamed that he had become a butterfly.
But when he woke up, he wondered if I had become a butterfly, or was I just a dream of a butterfly in another world?
What is real and what is illusory.
How to find and verify the truth of the world is actually a very important philosophical proposition that has always plagued mankind. ”
"It's a very realistic discussion
Can the human brain be plugged externally? My answer is yes.
At present, the most advanced technology is brainwave control technology, which converts the radio waves emitted by the brain through instruments to control real machines, just like the professor in the X-Men.
Connect with the outside world through brain waves.
Isn't it amazing.
At present, brainwave control is still a crude technology, which is fundamentally different from the brain-computer interface in the Matrix, the essence of the brain-computer interface is to connect the human cerebral cortex to the network, and this combination is by no means operated by modern technology.
The core of the cerebral cortex is made up of neurons, and damage to neurons is permanent and can lead to death in severe cases.
Current biomedical technologies can't solve it. In the future, gene technology may be able to change the structure of the brain and provide conditions for the design of brain-computer interfaces.
The brain-computer interface will never be as exaggerated as in the movie, and the violent insertion can be networked.
He will definitely develop a wireless networking method, which is by no means relying on brain waves, but based on quantum communication technology. The accuracy of the connection will be quantum-level, more advanced and richer than current electronic communication technology.
Will the parent simulation of the real world become a reality?
My answer is yes.
The core function of the matrix is to simulate reality, and the electronic signals generated by the simulation are fed into the human brain, so that the human brain can produce sensations, so that people can live in a dream world.
Will artificial intelligence with the same intelligence as humans appear?
My answer is yes, and it will surpass the human level.
Humanity, the ruler of this planet, will inevitably produce its own antagonism if it does not limit the development of its own technology.
Artificial intelligence will be the first to be realized.
At that time, there will only be one chance for human beings to rebel against intelligent machines, and if this opportunity is lost, human beings will be ruthlessly swept into the dustbin of history.
The human body is built on carbon-based life. This life form is a gift from nature and an unconscious product of the universe.
However, when new life forms emerge, this form of life becomes vulnerable.
The structure of the human body is such that humanity will be trapped on this lonely planet forever.
The emergence of new life forms is inevitable.
What form will new life take?
Current scientific research would be silicon-based life. At present, the core of electronic technology is the research of silicon.
The end of electronics is bound to lead to qualitative change. This qualitative change will eventually lead to the birth of silicon-based intelligence.
Is it the fate of human beings to live in an illusory maternal world?
I believe that man's destiny is the result of human choice.
Man's endless quest for the universe will give rise to man's opposite.
i.e. more advanced artificial intelligence life. This is the sublimation of man, and it is also the sorrow of man.
As pure human beings, they will also become powerless in the face of their opposites. At that time, what it means to be a pure human being has become less important.
After all, do people nowadays care about the life and death of ants? The nature of the ruling class is that it can control everything it can control, and when all this is controlled by higher life forms, the meaning of being a former ruler becomes cheap and ridiculous, and I can't think of any other way than death and enslavement. ”
"It's too pessimistic, but I think it's okay to be optimistic, if humans can create intelligent life and make the machines of the future show such highly intelligent results, then humans should actually have the same ability to destroy them.
In my opinion, technology itself is constantly advancing.
Moreover, this progress is unstoppable, and any attempt to interfere with or hinder the development of the productive forces is futile.
In the end, it is not up to the machines to go but on the humans themselves.
Machinery is just a tool, we should embrace technology and embrace the future. ”
"If someone approached you right now and gave you a red pill and a blue pill, which choice would you accept?
In fact, in the movie, human beings themselves make different choices.
Neo chooses the red pill and decides to face the brutal truth in search of the answer, which is the exploration of the unknown and the truth engraved in the DNA of humans.
From the very beginning of our birth, the day we had wisdom and civilization, we have been searching for the truth and answers of the universe.
Who we are, where we come from, and where we are going.
This is the choice of idealists, or rather pioneers.
But in the movie, as a human being, Seifer chooses another answer, he wants to return to the petri dish and enjoy all the beauty that can be obtained in the virtual world.
Let the mother arrange a more perfect life for him.
I think that's probably the choice of most people as well.
Sometimes the truth is often more cruel and cruel, and it may be easier to choose to immerse yourself in dreams.
If it were me, I would probably make the same choice as Selfer. ”
"I think that choosing the red and blue pills actually depends on your life in the end.
Having a good life in this world, for example, having a lot of money, having a stable job, loving yourself and the people you love, and being happy, you are actually more inclined to choose to stay.
If you are miserable in life, such as being born with a disability, being in a car accident, losing your job......
Then I will also choose the red pill, not only to face the truth, but more importantly, to overturn such a life.
In my opinion, there is not much difference between being in the matrix and returning to the world outside the matrix, since all our feelings are given by the brain, then how do you know that it is not an illusion created by the brain on the outside.
If it's all an illusion, it's all a life experienced by the brain.
Then the only difference is in the quality of life.
It is human nature to enjoy a good life and change a bad life. ”
……
The crisis of intellectual machinery is a topic that has been particularly heated in recent years.
In fact, the discussion about robots and artificial intelligence, the question of future technology has been started for a long time, and Asimov also wrote about the three laws of robots, and people talk about it.
There are several reasons why The Matrix has been able to bring this topic to the fire again.
The first one must be that the movie itself is well made, which is why there is such a high degree of discussion, and the attendance rate is very high after the release, and it is also known to other people through word of mouth.
The second is that technology is indeed advancing, and it is constantly moving in the direction of artificial intelligence.
Many plots that only exist in science fiction are becoming reality step by step.
Especially now that the Internet is developing at a high speed, the network in the North Mi region has entered a new stage, and the Internet has almost become an indispensable part of people's lives......
People are becoming more and more dependent on computers, but they are also getting worried.
Because the more you develop, the closer you get to the fact that the crisis of intellectual machinery.
Today's computers and the Internet have far exceeded people's expectations, and it is really hard to say what will become of them in the future.
So the Matrix has once again brought the crisis of intellectual machines closer to people's field of vision, and similar topics have also been hyped.
……
In short, both in the industry and outside the industry, "The Matrix" has been given a very high evaluation, and various discussions have given it a very high degree of heat.
Since the release of this movie, the topicality, popularity, and attendance have continued to increase.
Seeing this situation, the major theaters urgently adjusted the film schedule to make the Matrix more scheduled, and in the nearly month after that, the attendance rate of the Matrix was almost full.
The box office is also a hot mess.
The first week was $56 million at the U.S. box office, and the numbers are rising, with a staggering $170 million at the end of the first month.
The foreign box office performance was 290 million US dollars, and the global box office accumulated 460 million US dollars.
It has reached the fourth highest grossing film in the world.
This is a pretty remarkable thing, and if the number of films continues to increase, it is very likely to exceed $500 million to $600 million.
Yuehe invested 150 million US dollars, and in the end it was about 300 million, which was almost doubled, which is also quite a powerful achievement.
For an outside company, through a group of unknown directors and actors, the first film to enter Omi can do this, which can be said to be quite explosive.
After seeing this achievement, Qing Zhiyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Matrix" itself is a strategically important work that only allows success and not failure for Yuehe.
The success of this cannon means that the future of Yuehe is bright.
It will be much easier to develop new special effects blockbusters in the future.
And The Matrix is a trilogy, the first part is off to a good start, and it can drive the next two.
In the future, related games and peripheral products can sell better.
In Qing Zhiyuan's brain, the future development blueprint of the entire Yuehe and Pokeni has been planned, just waiting to be realized step by step.
"Great! Yuehe can't fly to the sky? ”
Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh, "It's time to shake the world more." Show them what true power is! ”
The power of knowledge, the power of technology, the power of traversers!
