Matrix: Resurrections: Surreal Moments, Comedy and Keanu Reeves

N Matrix: Resurrections must be Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) again with the thought that his world could only be a trick picture in truth. Again, he is visited by Morpheus (Maya Abdul-Mateen II) and asked them to wake up from the matrix or return them to them. The rebels around bugs (Jessica Hen wick) urgently need the help of the chosen, as a new rogue, of the analyst, the control over the matrix wants to achieve and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) is still trapped in her. NIOBE (Jada Pickett Smith), who fought every year on side with Neo and Trinity and was there when humanity closed peace with the machines, the matrix has turned her back and tries to get out of the ruins of the ruins of the War to create a new civilization. On his journey, Neo also crosses the path of the program Sat (Priyanka Chopra-Jonas), which he could preserve before deleting ( Matrix: Revolutions ).

We were able to talk to the Cast of the film about the motifs of the matrix series, certain scenes and the individual figures.

PC Games: What in the world of matrix has fascinated you most?

Priyanka Chopra-Jonas: That you never know exactly what the reality is and what not. The constant challenge and requirements, bigger to think and confront your own reality and the matrix that you create for yourself. That's the fascinating end for me. And the crazy stunts do not harm. Priyanka Chopra-Jonas Source: Warner Bros. Jada Pickett Smith : For me one of the most exciting ideas is that love overcomes everything. Not on a romantic Hallmark way, but related to a love dedicated to a greater.

PCG: There is currently a trend in films, to return to old franchises of the 80s and 90s and to show popular figures that are still miserable years later. It does not seem to give a happy-end anymore. Niobe still fights the same war as at that time. Why do you think is that, apart from the fact that films need conflict?

Jada Pickett Smith Source: Warner Bros. Jada Pickett Smith: Well, if you think about the matrix, about the existence of humanity. The battlefield was always the same. It's about where you are in relation to your consciousness in relation to the battlefield. Something has certainly changed, but the battlefield is not changing great. With regard to the matrix, it is constantly trying to distinguish between its own perception and reality. What you realize as your reality and creates, against what is really true. I think that's a lifelong theme as long as you put in a human body, as long as you have a human existence. I think the figures change, develop further, but the fight itself remains as he is.

PCG: Is anything happened between the films with your figures we do not see in the movie?

Priyanka Chopra-Jonas : I think I had to add many building blocks. We saw Sat on very specific places and there were so many questions in the room. Would she have been deleted, she would not have found himself in the care of those in whose care she was left to? And how was she influenced of it? What did it have for an impact on you that your parents have been putty? Nevertheless, it fights for the peace of humanity, in the service something bigger than you yourself. As Jada already says, the battle saw since humanity exists, always the same. The intention behind it and the way people fight have changed and that's exactly what happens here. The battle is the same, but why people do what they do has changed. Since I have to build a lot, which concerns my character, what was so great.

PCG: Morpheus was already quite charming in the first part, but now he also wears really eccentric, colorful clothes. How does it reflect his inner?

Maya Abdul-Mateen II: This Morpheus is definitely aware of the old Morpheus. He knows the history of the matrix, her iconography, the lexicon and so on. And he is on a self-filling trip. He creates his own reality. He enters a world in which he wants to try something new, and I think fashion is one of the easiest ways to practice himself to express himself.

PCG: The colors play a big role in matrix. Morpheus is dressed in red, for example, blue symbolizes the matrix. Jessica, your character has blue hair. That must be so wanted. What is the idea behind it?

Jessica Hen wick: I think Lana is very aware of every decision she meets. She was very persistent that bugs must have blue hair. We never really talked about what she believes that means. But she knows what she does. Jessica Hen wick Source: Warner Bros.

PCG: A big motive of the movie is déjà vu. We see busy scenes that are similar in the original, but now with other actors or other resolutions. What was the scene in which it was most happy to see you again or to be a part of it?

Jessica Hen wick: We have a scene in which we watch a scene from the original movie. We stand in a room while the original scene plays before us. That was Trippe because I could see the old and the new NEO in front of me. That was like Inception.

Maya Abdul Sateen II Source: Warner Bros. Maya Abdul-Mateen II: As weird that was for us, I can imagine how that for Keanu has to see himself 20 years ago. That's pretty cool and surreal.

PCG: Both of your figures have a connection to dream. Bug has the Hasentattoo, which alludes to Alice in Wonderland and Morpheus is named after the Greek god of dreams. What role-play dreams in the action?

Maya Abdul-Mateen II: The matrix has brought this idea into play, which is real and what not. Are we in the matrix, a dream in a dream? This eternal search for reality. It invites your mind to accept the chance that everything is possible, similar to a dream. It is an invitation to look at your own reality under the same point of view.

PCG: Matrix was always full of religious symbolism. In the old films, Keanu Reeves were the Jesus figure and Trinity rather the Holy Spirit, who led you. It's different in Matrix Resurrections. Why this role shift?

Keanu Reeves: I think that's really attached. We are somehow twins, not completely yin and yang. I think it's a very organic and significant reversal. Trinity has helped Neo to wake up in reality, this time her helps to wake her partner. I think the cool. Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss Source: Warner Bros.

PCG: What is your favorite Easter Egg or your favorite recurring icon in the movie?

Keanu Reeves: These are [director] Lana Wazowski Easter Eggs, so I can not really say that.

Carrie Anne-Moss: We do not even know you all. I did not even know the concept of Easter Eggs.

Keanu Reeves: Do you have a favorite?

PCG: I liked, for example, the return of the cat or the use of the color blue.

Keanu Reeves: Yes, they are funny.

PCG: The movie is a lot more funny than you could guess. Is the scene based on brainstorming on real events? Did you get similar script designs or strange Sequel suggestions over the years?

Keanu REEVES :.... JAA. I already sat in pretty interesting rooms. But I think it was also a really well-written sequence. The way Lana approaches the idea is what the matrix is ​​and — and there we would be back in the space of interpretation — this whole different viewing angles. I think that's very important and helpful for the journey of the movie. [The scene] takes everyone, is challenging and funny and honest, and I think from the point of view of a filmmaker, it also answers many things, so if you see the rest of the movie, just can be with the movie. You do not judge all the time. We had this sequence, now we can just depend on the movie.

PCG: Does the matrix in the movie reflect our time as they reflected the life and topics of the time period in the 90s?

REEVES: Yes, I would agree. We had an architect, now we have an analyst. Physical structures and control we went to the idea of ​​emotional structures and emotional control. Psychological, mental emotional reactions to phenomena as a tool for manipulation. [Smiles] Features for me very suitable for our time.

Matrix: Resurrections has been running since 23.12.2021 in German cinemas.
