I watched Matrix: Revolutions with my dad tonight. It was only the second time I’d seen it, so it seemed fresh to me again. My dad is a great guy, but he was typically skeptical of the Matrix and its ideas. I think to him it’s just an action flick, so the philosophical ideas kind of confused him. The only thing he said was, “I still don’t get why it was so important to get the ship into the dock.” Yeeeah. Anyway, I missed this the first time I saw it:
Neo: I just have neverÂ
Ram-Kendra: Heard a program speak of love.
Neo: It is a human emotion.
Ram-Kendra: No, it is a word. What matters is the connection the word implies. I see that you are in love. Can you tell me what you would give to hold on to that connection?
Neo: Anything.
A discussion of words and their meaning! Dad didn’t really care to talk about it. It’s funny how your enjoyment of a film depends a lot on who you see it with. I guess it’s the same with many things in life. :nod:
very true! I tend to watch old movies by myself, because I don’t want to force them on someone who doesn’t enjoy them like I do…. but now kari is into them as well.. so she enjoys watching them with me, and it’s so much funner then when I’d have someone clearly bored with watching them.
i know what you mean. had to keep looking at my dad to see if his eyes were still open. hehe
i hate going t the theatre with my mum for the opposite reason – no need to check to see if her eyes are open, cause she’s constantly whspiering something in my ear. And usually somethign completely unrelated to the action on screen. Like “I her that guy’s going to be the next heartthrob.” Like I care. Like there can only be one heartthrob even.
Heh…my family generally follows one golden rule when they watch movies next to me … ‘NOT A PEEP!” … discussions can and may occur afterwards, but generally I like to just consume as much of the movie as possible each time I see it 😉
i believe that all movies contain enough small spaces into which can be inserted smartass comments.
Can we say Solaris?
yeah… well some movies are just so boring that they need their soundtracks supplanted by true dialogue. and a nap.
