The movie's good but the ending sucks.


Neo in the real world is just some computer-addicted incel shooter that was hyped up in drugs. Morpheus/Trinity were clearly just some imaginary friends to cope with his shyness.

I have a hard time believing he's actually supposed to be the one.

Yeah... but.....


..... what???

A title, an unrelated paragraph, and final sentence, what are you even saying??

First let me ask, did you watch this movie beginning to end?

I'm reading between the lines, but it seems like he's interpreting the movie as the hallucination/fantasy of a person who decides to go on a psychotic rampage. I think he's saying that Neo was really - as the detractors sorta said from day one - a corollary of people like the Columbine shooters or other angry young men. He's saying Neo is just grabbing guns (lots of guns) and shooting innocent people, imagining himself as "The One," but really he's just a messed up dude with antisocial issues.

I think.

But I think I'm meeting him more than halfway here.

"more than halfway here."

indeed - you really filled out the blanks there . nice theory really .
Maybe it was
"The psychotic reality of a spree shooters brain"
or maybe just
"shy FPS game nerd asleep dreamed the whole thing"
