It’s already 8 years, when the first movie from Matrix trilogy came out. After a couple of times, watching it with friends at the beginning I liked it. Some interesting ideas, scenario approaches, story line.
Comparing it with those movies released in 1999, Matrix was awesome. But I’ve never thought of the facts like:
- Agent Smith looks like a typical garbage collector with AI encapsulations. Could you imagine this utility with some humour and irony nowadays.
- Neo. A tiny bug in the system with machine learning capabilities. Of course, later on we’ll understand that’s not just a simple bug, however knowing the story in full, looks a bit amusing.
- Piphia, or a lady with a vase. Statistical path analyser. Looks like a Best-cost algorithm with some sophisticated evaluation functionality and a sense of humour. So you shouldn’t worry about the vase!
- Cypher, or a bad good guy. A very very greedy bug - impossible of being fixed - thus, rewritten from scratch or simply deleted.
- Switch,or the only girl in white. Very small and fast transition from “enable” to “disable” states in the movie!
- Mouse, or lady-in-red boyfriend. C’mon, there should be at least one kid hacker, otherwise that’s not a hacker movie!
Waiting to watch the Matrix Reload, hopefully, so more amusing computer alternatives will appear which I didn’t noticed back to its premier.

Well, some interesting points there. Maybe i should take the dust of those DVD’s and watch the trilogy again

Timur,
You’ll be disappointed, since it’ll look like a typical comedy film and Ag.Smith will be the one who’s going to do the show

I am watching the first movie of the trilogy pretty often. I still love it. The other two sucked so badly that I don’t even want to think about them, let alone watch them again.

The first one is more “realistic”, if I can say so. Costume design, scenes. In the last two films, the directors sticked to the Matrix idea as if it’s a game - too “unreal” to imitate our environment. Neo became a mixture of Steven Sigal+Superman.. (The Moleculo Man?)
