Irony of The Matrix movie
November 21st, 2007
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.
