Nearly two decades after the release of the third part of the famous action series "The Matrix", the Wachowski sisters return with the fourth part, which is expected to be shown in cinemas and the HBO electronic platform in December of this year.
The first part of the film appeared in 1999, followed by two other parts in 2003, and its main plot revolves around a virtual world built by a future artificial intelligence with the aim of enslaving humanity.
The degree of anticipation and anticipation of the audience increased after the release of the trailer for the movie, in which his famous hero Keanu Reeves appears with a morphological features that are very similar to the character "John Wick" played by Reeves in the famous action movie series of the same name. What do we know about the film so far?
And what does advertising tell us?
Where did Neo go?
The trailer begins with a scene featuring the film's hero, Neo (Keanu Reeves), with a beard and body that closely resembles Reeves' John Wick in the popular John Wick movie.
Neo sits across from a psychiatrist played by Neil Patrick Harris, best known for his role in the sitcom How I Met Your Mother?
Reeves, who appears here as "Harris", tells the psychiatrist about a dream in which he alludes to Neo's past as the head of a resistance movement at war with the AI in the Matrix. The world he lives in is a sophisticated computer-generated simulation.
In another scene, we see him inside an electric elevator looking up, and apparently doubting the reality of what he sees, while we can distinguish that the ceiling of this elevator is at the same time the base of a table on which some people sit, whose features we do not notice.
did we meet before?
Since Neo dies at the end of The Matrix Revolutions 3, we can think that Reeves is playing a different or alternate character here in The Matrix Revolutions, and the same applies to Trinity ( Played by Carrie-Ann Moss, who apparently does not recognize Reeves when she shakes hands with him in one of the scenes in the ad.
We can not be sure whether Reeves is playing a different character or is it "Neo", but he resists his memories by eating pills of the blue drug that we see in another scene, in the first part of the movie, "Neo" is offered a pill of this color It would allow him to go back and carry on with his previous life and erase any trace of his conversations with Morpheus, the leader of the resistance, is it the same pill he refused to take in the first part?
In the white rabbit's hole
In the first part, of course, "Neo" chose to take the red pill that allows him to go deeper into the rabbit hole, according to Morpheus, in reference to the story "Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll, the story "Alice in Wonderland" appears in It recurs throughout the series as a recurring allegorical theme, and the book itself appears for seconds in the trailer for Part Four.
On the arm of one of the other characters - who appears in the commercial played by British-Chinese actress Jessica Henwick - we see a tattoo in the form of a rabbit, in reference to the white rabbit from "Alice in Wonderland", and in the background we can hear the music of "White Rabbit" by Jefferson , a piece of music published in 1967 also inspired by Carroll's book.
More kung fu
The bearded Reeves ends up eating the red pill that seems to have awakened his memory, and also awakened his martial arts prowess, as we see him in a number of scenes with the teaser making the kung fu moves that the character "Neo" was famous for in the previous three parts.
In one of the scenes, we see "Neo" or Thomas confronting a new character named "Abdul-Mateen II", which has many Morpheus character traits, in what appears to be a younger version or perhaps he himself may be Morpheus' son.
Matrix brand
While the first three parts were directed by Lana Wachowski with her sister Lily, the fourth part is directed by Lana alone. However, it does not seem that the presence of one of the two sisters alone behind the camera has a significant impact on the film's distinctive theme, fast events and distinctive action scenes.
Trains, helicopters, motorbikes and cars are just a few of the modes of transportation that were left riddled with bullets and in chaos during the ad, promising viewers a greater dose of action scenes and distinctive optical illusions, and one of the film's distinctive visual themes as well is the scene of falling from the roof of tall buildings. , which is repeated at least twice during the advertisement.
