The Matrix

[Jim01Participant 6678]

Currently watching it for the 100th time….

The whole “I am showing you the door but you must step through it” stuff is so true to how most of us came to be MGTOW.

Sorry this thread has no real point but I am on the booze and felt like posting about one of the best films ever made!

There is no need to apologize.
In fact getting some barley pops and watching the Matrix trilogy sounds like a fine idea. Just might have to do that tonight.

Cheers!

Goood matrix style movie, some call it matrix before matrix, but you need to find directors cut is Dark City (1998)

The choices we make, not the chances we take, determine our destiny

And a few more thoughts – we are a special bunch. How many people willingly take the blue pill rather than the red? Loads. We are the rebels and people who think beyond what we are told. I think that says something about us all in a good way.

Funny thing this, like many here I was constantly bombarded with s~~~ like, when are you gonna marry, why don’t you have a gf, are you gay etc…..

The people that use to ask me these questions are now jealous as f~~~-all. They got married or have live in gf and are miserable.
They are constantly walking on egg shells trying to avoid the next snowflake tantrum/meltdown.

So true. I think it is a misery loves company thing and an old buddy who has just made his girlfriend preggers says to me how if he was single he would love to travel like he used to. Funny how the perfect society life leaves him wanting his old days back! Although this guy is a complete doormat – his wife absolutely hates me even though I haven’t done anything to her. Her reasons are that I remind him of his fun days when we go out drinking – we both have a great time and she hates that.

Jim, I am a FREAK for dystopian movies, here are some on my short list that are a must see.

THX-1138
They Live
Rollerball (1975 version)
Brazil
1984 (1984 version)
Idiocracy
Soylent Green
Logan’s Run
A Clockwork Orange
Omega Man
A Boy and his Dog

The Matrix is great, but I would rank it below some of these classics. Give them a shot, I guarantee you will like most of them.

I am always on the lookout for new films to watch so on Monday in work Ill go on amazon and add a load of these to my basket (most films on dvd these days are dirt cheap)

Thanks for the advice mate. Funny how I love this kind of stuff but experience it through gaming – SOMA has the most depressing ending of any game I have ever played

Might watch 28 days later tonight to continue the post society stuff!

Nice, 28 Days Later, also one of my favorites but I didn’t want to get into ALL of the Zombie movies, because if I got started the list would never end. Omega Man is sort of a Zombie movie though, kinda, not really, lol but kinda… Dystopian/Zombie movies are my favorite, I have a bookcase with hardcopies of about 20 Dystopian and maybe 40 Zombie movies…

Have you seen most of the Zombie stuff? I have just about everything ever made, VHS and DVD lol.

A decent post society one is Night of the Comet (1984). Zombie movie but not many got turned into Zombies, more post civilization type movie. The Mercedes in 28 Days Later in the middle of the street when he gets out of the hospital is said to be an homage to Night of the Comet as there is the same empty Mercedes in the same type of scene in Night of the Comet. Cheesy with female leads, but it was good. Logan’s Run and Omega Man would be two older classic post-society/apocalypse movies. A Boy and his Dog is also post-apocalypse and was the inspiration for the Mad Max series, very low budget, but it even has MGTOW Redpills in it.

Sounds like you would like The Road! Ive just put on The Thing – after watching Escape from LA (computer section thread) I fancy watching another Kurt Russell film.

The night is young so I have loads of time to watch other films

I highly recommend the film, The Thirteenth Floor (1999). It is of the same vein as Dark City and the first Matrix movie.

Some say that the film, eXistenZ (1999), is similar. I disagree. eXistenZ is a complete mind screw of the same vein as Naked Lunch (1991). And these two films are not good mind f~~~s.

While not completely breaking with reality, the three 80’s movies I would recommend are Blade Runner (1982) (false memories and artificial people), The Running Man (1987) (propaganda and the controlling the narrative), and the original Total Recall film (1990) (artificial memories, what is real and what is a dream). All three of these films offer good mind f~~~s.

Yea, those three are classics, also Escape from N.Y., Escape from L.A. has one of my favorite movie endings of all time, also the stuff Faust listed in his last paragraph are great too, I am not familiar with the other ones he listed in the first two paragraphs though.

Yep – the ending is a big f~~~ you to the establishment and how I see things happening in real life if things carry on as they are

Will check out Faust’s recommendations too
