A fun mind-twist is to think of the film itself every time one of the characters in the film mentions "The Matrix". E.g. "No one can be told what the Matrix is"

A fun mind-twist is to think of the film itself every time one of the characters in the film mentions "The Matrix". E.g. "No one can be told what the Matrix is". Indeed. Nobody can be told what this movie is. Ha!
It makes it even more meta than it already is. The Matrix was shot in 1999 and takes place in 1999. It was purposefully shot with the technology of the time; cellphones, computers, etc. As such, it serves as a perfect time capsule of that period. So in a sense, The Matrix (the movie) is indeed a simulation of 1999!
- FroshKiller 5y agoIt doesn’t take place in 1999. The plaque aboard the Nebuchadnezzar says it was built in 2069, so it’s at least that far in the future and almost certainly further since it probably wasn’t the machines commemorating the date.
