I found this documentary wich is wrapped arround the scenes of The Matrix Trilogy

This documentary goes over many philosophical concepts that inspired, and are presented in, the trilogy. They spend the first half on the original film, and the rest of the time then goes over parts 2 and 3, with a couple of things on the Animatrix shorts.

It consists of clips of aforementioned releases and interviews. It does a good job of informing the audience about the various thoughts, although it would obviously take far longer to go over all the symbolism in them, and one can ask the very appropriate question if something anywhere near that definite and final is even desired, by viewers or the Wachowskis alike.

That does mean that this is limited, but it is likely enough to enlighten and provide food for thought. In line with the series, this may provoke debate, rather than give answers set in stone. Whether one cares for this or not may depend on the extent of their knowledge on the subject, the old ideas, as well as how much they’ve thought about the presence of such in these three silver screen efforts.

Obviously, it also makes a difference if one particularly wants to think about the meanings one could possibly take out of them.

it is a quite astonishing Philosophical "Presentation" of what this amazing Film Trilogy is about.
while I don't agree on all things in there, it is quite amazing to see all those metaphorical languages that are used in this film and frankly I think over all the conlusions they are come up with are quite accurate.

Thanks for this, I didn't know it was on youtube. I had watched this in a college class. This would probably be one of the beginning nudges for my search into the unknown like New Age and UFO's and ultimate finding of the Cass forum.

I watched a little of it and it is interesting to view it with more understanding of reality. Quite emotional as well, as my stomach is indicating while hearing some of the truths.
