The speaker begins by addressing the audience, warning them that they have little time and that they are in danger. They offer help, but only if the audience follows their instructions. The speaker then introduces a video and suggests that it might change their perspective.
The video is a discussion about the film "The Matrix," which the speaker describes as unlike anything anyone had seen before, unless they were fans of cyberpunk, philosophy, anime, or kung-fu films. The speaker explains that the film's creators, the Wachowskis, were fans of all these genres and wanted to incorporate elements from them into their film.
The speaker then reveals a surprising twist: the hero of humanity, prophesied to bring about the downfall of the machines and reload the matrix, is not Neo, as one might expect. Instead, the speaker reveals that Agent Smith, the cold-hearted murderous hater of humanity, is the true hero who sets in motion the destruction of the matrix and humanity's freedom.
The speaker then provides a brief recap of the "Matrix" trilogy, explaining that Neo is a hacker who is disillusioned with his job, his life, and reality itself. After mysterious messages lead him to Morpheus, Neo learns that the world he knows is a computer simulation and that humanity is enslaved by machines. Neo is prophesied to be the one who can transcend the laws of this digital reality, but the speaker reveals that this is not the case.
The speaker then explains that Neo is not born inside the matrix, but is born in a harvest pod by the machines. Neo is reborn inside the matrix after being killed by Agent Smith at the end of the first film. The speaker then explains that the Oracle's prophecy also specifies that the one will be able to change the matrix to remake it as he sees fit. However, Neo does not actually change anything throughout the sequels.
The speaker then explains that Agent Smith shows far more power than Neo when it comes to changing the fabric of the matrix. Smith is able to go against the rules and take out his earpiece, suggesting his heightened ability to rebel. The speaker then explains that Smith is the anomaly in the system and that it is Smith who brings destruction to the matrix and brings freedom to the people, ending the war.
The speaker concludes by explaining that Smith is the one who truly changes the system, allowing the matrix to reload. The speaker then suggests that the audience subscribe to their channel for more film theory and matrix-related content.
1. The speaker begins by addressing the audience, stating that they have little time and that they are coming for them. The speaker also mentions that they can help, but only if the audience does exactly as they say.
2. The speaker introduces themselves as a theorist and welcomes the audience to their channel, Film Theory.
3. The speaker discusses the film "The Matrix", released in 1999, and how it was unlike anything anyone had ever seen before, unless they were fans of cyberpunk or had read a philosophy textbook.
4. The speaker mentions that the film's creators, the Wachowskis, were massive fans of cyberpunk, Japanese anime, and kung-fu films.
5. The speaker recounts a theory that the hero of humanity, named Neo, is not the one prophesied to bring about the downfall of the machines and reload the matrix. Instead, the speaker suggests that Agent Smith, the cold-hearted murderous hater of humanity, is the real hero.
6. The speaker provides a brief recap of the "Matrix" trilogy, explaining that Neo is the one humanity's Savior who has the ability to transcend the laws of the digital reality in such an advanced way that he can do amazing epic things.
7. The speaker discusses the concept of the "prime program", which is another name for the one. They explain that the one is the result of an imperfect system, and as long as he exists, the matrix will remain imperfect and gradually descend into chaos until it crashes and destroys all of humanity.
8. The speaker explains that to prevent this, the one's code needs to enter the source, which allows the matrix to reload and everything to become perfect and stable.
9. The speaker discusses the prophecy quote from the Oracle, stating that when the matrix was built, there was a man born inside it who had the ability to change what he wanted to remake the matrix as he saw fit.
10. The speaker argues that if Neo is truly the one, he needs to have been born inside the matrix, be able to change it, and ultimately destroy it to set humans free.
11. The speaker discusses the second part of the prophecy, stating that the one will be able to change the matrix to remake it as he sees fit. However, they argue that Neo doesn't actually change anything throughout the sequels.
12. The speaker explains that Smith shows far more power in changing the fabric of the matrix than Neo does. They argue that Smith's heightened ability to rebel against the machines is what gives Neo the bargaining power to strike up a deal with the machines.
13. The speaker discusses the final tenant of the prophecy, stating that the one would bring destruction to the matrix and bring freedom to the people and end the war. They argue that although the saga ends with the matrix still intact, it gets pretty banged up during the Smith-Neo final battle.
14. The speaker concludes by stating that the matrix will reload when the remainder code of the one enters the source. They argue that Smith's code is getting jacked directly into that source as the prophecy and the architect have said.
15. The speaker discusses the final question of why everyone calls Neo the one if he's not the one. They argue that the Oracle is the only person who truly knows the one's true nature and that she chose to lie to everyone else about it.
16. The speaker concludes by stating that the Oracle and the architect are two of the most powerful programs in the system and they should probably know right. They argue that the architect says it was the Oracle who created the one, not only does this strengthen the whole mom argument with Agent Smith from earlier, but it also shows that she's the only person who truly knows the one's true nature.
