The Mat(zo)rix
With the Matrix: Reloaded opening Wednesday, I figured this was as good time as any to post my racialist review of...
[url=http://us.imdb.com/Title?0133093]The Matrix[/url]
The stats:
Released: 1999
Directed and written by: Andy & Larry Wachowski (don't be fooled by the Polish-sounding surname--they're Jews)
Produced by: Joel Silver (jew)
Starring:
Keanu Reeves (ok, for all intents and purposes, Reeves is "white", but I believe he has some Polynesian and or American Indian in him, which is why I think he was chosen for the role. I don't think they would have given the role to someone with blond hair and blue eyes, like say Brad Pitt) as Neo, the Christ-like hero
Laurence (Larry Fishbein--half-black and half jew) Fishburne as Morpheus, the noble Black leader.
Carrie Anne Moss (White. If she's a jew, I've never heard about it) as Trinity, the by now clichéd hot chick who can kick ass just like the big boys do--especially if it's evil, oppressive White male ass.
Hugo Weaving (White. Again, if he's a jew I never heard about it. In any event I must say he gives the best performance of the entire movie), as Agent Smith, the machine generated nemesis of the rebel humans, but really a symbol of the Evil White Man.
Joe Pantoliano (White) as Cypher, the treacherous white traitor.
Plot synopsis: Thomas Anderson (Reeves) lives in some unnamed city in the late 20th Century, working as a computer programmer. He suspects something is not quite right, but doesn't know exactly what it is. One day, a black man named Morpheus (Fishburne) reveals to Anderson that the world is not what is seems. It is not the late 20th century but over a hundred years in the future. In fact, the entire world is really an elaborate V(irtual)R(eality) simulation--aka the Matrix--set up by advanced machines (the victors of some long ago war between themselves and the humans who created them). All humans (except for a small number who escaped the Matrix, or were born outside of it), are literally hooked into the Matrix (via a port embedded in the back of their heads) from birth, were their body energy (or whatever the hell it was) is used to power the machines. When they die, their bodies are converted into food for the other humans. Eventually, Anderson learns that he is Neo, or The One (wow that was clever), who is destined to lead the humans and overthrow the machines.

The Matrix was a huge hit when it was released. I was not as blown away by it as most people, (the much-hyped "philosophy" of the film is strictly kidsville), and the plot somewhat derivative of countless other sci-fi plots, but the FX, production design, and fight scenes where truly amazing. I guess I should note that libertarians consider the Matrix their movie, presumably because it feeds into their childish, anti-authoritarian notions ("Look mommy! I'm Neo! POW! BAM! Take that, you evil statists! You're not the boss of me!" "You're not even looking at me, Mom!" "That's nice dear." "Mommy, I want to be Neo when I grow up? Can I huh? Huh?!?" "Of course you can, dear.") But where a libertarian is concerned with issues of economics and vague ideals about freedom, I, as a racialist, am more concerned with the racial aspects.
Neo is white, but not quite. He could be compared to a race traitor. He goes along with Morpheus, the noble Negro, to destroy the evil White Man. The machine agents are all white, (with traditional white names like Smith, Jones, and Brown), as are the humans who aid them (the police, security guards, etc.) Yep, Whitey be always oppressing folks. In fact, most of inhabitants of the city appear to be white (I guess whites are too stupid to learn the secret of the matrix). Trinity is white, but in Hollywood, women are often used like minorities (Hey, women are oppressed by the White man too, ya know!) We're supposed to be impressed when Trinity easily defeats her stupid White male attackers, even though we've seen this bit in a hundred other movies. We don't see her kicking any minority butt.
There is a character known as The Oracle (not sure what race/ethnicity she is. She is played by the late Gloria Foster; she looks Puerto-Rican to me). In one scene, she says to Neo, "not to bright, are ya?" Yeah, you go girl! Put that stupid white boy in his place! (at least I think I heard some Negress yell that at the screen). And while Neo may be the hero, it is clearly Morpheus who is in control. Like the Oracle, it is the wise Morpheus who explains the Matrix to dim little white Neo. In fact, some kids seem to like Morpheus more than Neo, as this exchange I heard in the theater shows:
"Daddy, why are all the bad agents white?"
"I'm glad you picked up on that, son. It's because most whites are bad, and are always trying to oppress people. It's up to people of color--along with a handful of good whites, like us--to bring down the evil white male patriarchal system."
"And why do the good guys live in a place called Zion? What does Zion mean?"
"Well, son, Zion is another word for Israel. What The film makers are saying is that the inhabitants of Zion--Jews--are noble freedom fighters, and those who oppose them are evil, just like in real life."
"Jews are good people, Daddy. They told me in school that Jews are the greatest people that ever lived. But aren't Jews white?"
"Of course not son. As you said yourself, they are good people."
"Daddy, I don't think I like being white."
"Me either, son."
"Daddy, I want to be Morpheus when I grow up!"
"Oh, I'm so proud to hear you say that son!"
"Daddy, is it possible to get a race change?"
"Not yet, son, but they're working on it."
(I can only assume they were libertarians, since they weren't black, and no decent White person would be so rude as to talk during a movie. But you know libertarians, they do whatever they want, and to hell with the rest of us).
Oh yeah, back to the movie. Morpheus gets captured by the machine agents, due to the White traitor, Cypher, who made a deal with the machines to sell out his human comrades, in exchange for a cushy pseudo-existence as an actor. He is killed by some Asian-looking fellow, Tank (Marcus Chong). The machine agents take Morpheus to some big office building, presumably their headquarters. While the agents are busy torturing Morpheus (who, being a noble Negro, can't be broken by Whitey), Neo and Trinity make a daring assault on the machine HQ, killing hundreds of white men in the process. They rescue Morpheus, and Neo has the inevitable showdown with Agent Smith, where he proves his indeed the One.
So, to summarize: paying to see The Matrix will put more money in the jews pocket, but then again what doesn't nowadays. I recommend you see the movie strictly for it's entertainment value, and not for any philosophical or racialist content.

When it first came out, The Matrix was touted as a Christian or Gnostic allegory, or maybe both. If the Evil White Guys are the Gnostic Archons, it makes some sense.
If you take it that way, it helps to know that Gnosticism can be played topsy-turvy. That means the bad guys are really the good guys and vice-versa. The Gnostics thought Jehovah was a demon therefore the snake in Eden was the good guy, etc.
So Neo is really a naif taken in by evil Jahovites. And the bad guys are the true protectors. I watched the video with that in mind and it really does add up. At the end Neo calls the "bad guys" and says he's working to make a world without them. Sound like anyone we know? I mean, lots of people seem to be busy making a world without white people.
Good special effects anyway.

I thought the Wachowski brothers were jews as well based on the anti-white subtext of the Matrix. On jewhoo.com they are not listed in the famous Jewish Directors section. Does anyone out there have any confirmation on their jew status? :rock:

When they were casting for The Matrix, Will Smith was offered the role of Neo but Smith turned it down then Reeves ended up with the part. I don't know if they would have still looked for a negro to play Morpheus if Smith had taken the job as Neo.
Anyway, the Matrix is a great movie. There are a number of movies alone with a similar plot (13th Floor, eXistenZ, and Dark City are three movies that I know of with similar plots and were released nearly at the same time as the Matrix). But, so what, the plot isn't as warn as most plots in sci-fi.
It's always a good laugh when a black guy is put in the position of the intellectual, a Hollywood special effect created by white writers. But, the Matrix isn't suppose to be a comedy.

Keanu Reeves is 1/4 Hawaiian, 1/4 Chinese, and 1 half English. He is also obviously non-white-he wears a ton of skin lightening make-up in the Matrix.

Brad Pitt was offered the Neo role after Will Smith turned it down. Pitt was busy shooting something else. I agree that if Smith had taken the role, then Morpheus probably wouldn't have been a black character. They probably would have made him latino or Asian.
I saw him in person at a theater once, and he is pale. He isn't dark skinned. But he's only half white. I think everyone was made to look pale, the 'whites' that is, in The Matrix to go along with the film's look.

That should be 50 DUMB reasons.
1) The makers of the Matrix don't have diplomatic immunity 2) No American children die of starvation, at least not for reasons of not enough handouts. etc.

PointlessWasteOfTime.com is kind of a surreal intentional self-parody, dude. It's supposed to be like that. :) Surely that must have become obvious about the point where he complained that the male character of Trinity was played by a woman with short hair at the request of Keanu Reeves.
Aside from being entertaining, it does make some points about the cross between solipsism and violence that's the prime focus of the movie, something hardly surprising for a jewish action flick. And that's why I linked it.

RE: 50 Reasons to Reject The Matrix: Reloaded
That was a funny site, Drakmal.
The cybernetic army that took over the Earth, says the film, was solar powered. The human resistance responded by blotting out the sky.A desperate measure, but surely the only choice they had. It was that, or, I don't know, postpone their counterattack until evening.
ROFL!

From the SF Chronicle:
([url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/a/2003/05/11/MO83004.DTL&type=movies]original article[/url])
One key sequence filmed in Alameda had less to do with technology than casting. The Wachowskis needed to populate their decrepit but soulful city of Zion with a multiracial citizenry.
"The brothers felt the ethnic blend was critical to their vision," Silver says. "We wanted a real melting pot including African American, Hispanic, Asian. Australia really didn't have that much ethnicity."
--
Sorry Whitey, but there's no place for you in our future, except as cold, inhuman machines. And damn those racist Australians for not having enough diversity!
--
At the Zion "temple," built inside one of the hangars, Bay Area day players gathered to enact a night of speeches and orgiastic dancing. Star Reeves fondly remembers the frenzy.
"It was insane," he says. "There was one day where we had about 1,000 people, and these kids came out with so much affection. They had a male tent and a female tent -- that went out the window. In between takes, kids were dancing in the middle of the Oakland heat, banging on drums, hanging out everywhere. And then they put the music on, and Laurence came out to start his speech as Morpheus, and the kids went 'Arrrrggghhh' for like three minutes. It was this three-minute scream. They brought this really good primal energy to the scene, and that's something the brothers really celebrate."
--
Sounds scary to me, like some kind of African tribal ritual. Kind of like what goes on in just about any inner-city neighborhood any night of the week.

I must admit, I don't know for an absolute fact that they are jews. Like you, it was mostly an assumption. I remember reading they were jews on some pro-White site once (can't recall which one). Not that that proves anything; I've seen some pro-White sites call David Letterman a jew, which he is not.
Anyway, from I've read about the Wachowskis, they are somewhat reclusive, and don't like to give interviews. When they do have something to say, they usually do it through a spokesperson. Maybe this is why jewhoo--or anyone else--is unable to confirm their jew status.

Hey, I liked the movie too. I guess I should say that, as an anti-White movie, it is rather mild, especially compared to a lot of the other crap out there.

And now, yet another take...
Somewhere, a White father and son return home from seeing The Matrix:Reloaded...
Son: Wow Dad, that was a cool movie! Thanks for taking me!
Father: You're welcome, son. I'm glad you liked it. I figured you earned it, for scoring all A's--including German, Latin, physics, calculus, and trigonometry--on your last report card. Not too shabby for a 10 year old.
Son: Well Dad, I like school. I don't care much for watching MTV, or sitting on the corner, loitering around for hours on end, getting high, listening to Eminem and 50 Cent on a boombox, and giving passersby threatening looks, like the other kids do.
Father: I know, son. You're a credit to our Race...I mean, our family.
Son: Thanks, Dad.
Father: So tell me, son, who was your favorite character in the movie? Neo? Morpheus? Trinity? The Keymaker?
Son: Well...um...actually, my favorite character was...promise you won't get mad at me?
Father: Of course not, son. The only time I might get mad at you is if you turned into a whigger--um...I mean, if you started dressing, talking, and acting like Snoop Dog, or some such person.
Son: Ok. Well my favorite character was: Agent Smith!
Father: (looking surprised, but smiling) Agent Smith, huh. Why is that? I mean isn't he supposed to be the "bad guy?"
Son: Yes, I know he's supposed to be, but here's how I see him: he's a symbol of the good White man, trying to preserve order against a group of White-hating, multicultural, multiracial, malcontents, who want to bring down White, European culture and civilization--even though it's the best there is, and deep down, they know it--with their anti-White, pro-minority, pro-gay, pro-feminist, pro-Jewish, pro-immigration/open borders, anarcho/libertarian/leftist agenda. Uh...I mean, I just think Agent Smith is really cool!
Father: (beaming) Come here, Son!
(they hug)
Father: Son, you don't need to hide your true thoughts around me, anymore.
Son: Thanks! And neither do you, Dad!
Father: (sighs) Well that's a relief. It's great to be able to call a spade a spade, if you catch my drift.
both laugh
Father: Just be careful around your mother--she's still a bit of a, how can I put this-- "soccermom." You know, watching Oprah and Oxygen; sending money to help out Somali refugees, wearing a "Free Mumia" t-shirt, etc.
Son: I know, Dad. Her liberal, anti-White attitude makes me want to puke sometimes. But stiil, she's my Mom and I love her.
Father: That's good son. Maybe one day she'll see the light--but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Son: Dad, I want to be like Agent Smith when I grow up, but how can I do it? Join the FBI?
Father: Join the FBI?!? (shakes his head) Afraid not, son. You see, the FBI is part of the problem. 50 years ago, maybe. But they're as anti-White as they come, now. They're pretty much owned by the ADL and NAACP. They'd probably lock us up just for having this conversation, if they could.
Son: Darn. Then what can I do? I don't want to see the White civilization, culture--and people--destroyed!
Father: Well, son, you're already doing a lot. By doing well in school, and being racially conscious; and not wasting your time with rap, drugs, and other junk. However, there is one more thing you can do...
Son: And what's that, Dad?
Father: Join the [url=http://www.natvan.com/]National Alliance[/url]!

C'mon people; get awake! This is bullshit, for crissake, And not a revelation, as you think that it might be. It's all recycled superstitions, old as they can be! --Joseph Sarandos on "The Matrix" and sequels
Seriously, when examined in the light of cold reality instead of drug-induced euphoria and/or mass-hysteria, "The Matrix" and its sequels are the epitome of mind-control and brain-washing techniques that have been developed and perfected by The Brotherhood of Priests over the entire span of Human History, starting from the time that "Adam"; the first Spirit-endowed mortal male, had become feared and revered as a "god" - in fact "The Lord" - by his smaller, fairer, weaker and nearly innocent counterparts nearest the start of Creation.
Oh I hear you thinking; "Huh? What in hell are you talking about?" And I don't fault you for thinking that I'm on some kind of mind-altering substance myself, to be spouting forth something about two different kinds of people in the beginning. Well, I have to come clean and admit that my mind has indeed been altered - permanently - by the steady ingestion, over a period of 35 years, of the most potent distillate and concentrate that it is possible to scientifically derive from an approximate 4,000-year-build-up of "mental bull-:dung:."
[color=blue]What the hell! I'll go watch it anyway just 'cause I've got nothin' better to do.[/color]

I read Roger Ebert's review of The Matrix Reloaded (www.suntimes.com)
Ebert says: "I became aware, during the film, that a majority of the major characters were played by African Americans... The Wachowski brothers use so many African Americans, I suspect... because to the white teenagers who are the primary audience for this movie, African-Americans embody a cool, a cachet, an authenticy. Morpheus is the power center of the movie, and Neo's role is essentially to study under him and absorb his mojo."
Put blacks in the film to attract whites? Yep, blacks are cool and whites are mean.

Yeah, I read that too (full review [url=http://www.suntimes.com/output/ebert1/cst-ftr-matrix14f.html]here[/url]). It pretty much mirrors what I said in my review. While they made the hero a White (yeah, yeah I know Reeves is not a full-White, but he's intended to be White in the film. After all, they gave him a White name--Anderson--not Chang, Patel, Sanchez or Finkelstein, for that matter) guy, but it's really Morpheus who is the leader.
Btw, I believe Ebert (a Catholic) is married to a Negress (if he isn't married to one, he definately likes dating them).
