Neo in the real world is just some computer-addicted incel shooter that was hyped up on 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"
The movie predates online FPS and World-of-Warcraft-level game-addiction
There goes THAT theory
WoW did not create a 'level of addiction'. Computers and games have been 'addictive' since seventies, so please think again.
There goes THAT theory is right, when it comes to YOUR nonsensical comment, but you could at least have added SOME kind of punctuation...
It also doesn't 'predate' anything - online games have existed as long a LAN networks have, which is a pretty darn long time.
FPS games have also existed WAY longer than you give them credit for. WoW is also NOT an FPS, it's a MMORPG that uses a third-person perspective, so nothing you say in your stupidly short post makes any sense.
Did you realize the game 'Doom', which is one of the first 'First-Person Shooters' (did you even know the acronym you used means this?) you could play in a LAN network, modem-to-modem, and so on, was created in 1993 and was wildly popular exactly in 'online FPS shooting'?
So Doom actually 'predates' (to use your ridiculous term) this movie by about six years - people WERE playing computer and video games long before this movie came along, and you can BET your buttockses there were a big bunch of addicts even in mid-eighties, let alone early nineties, LET ALONE 1999.
Did you EVER heard of things like 'Unreal', 'Unreal Tournament', 'Quake', 'Quake II', 'Quake III'? WILDLY popular 'online FPS' games, that all 'predate' (I am so tired of this term) this movie.
Could you please crawl back under the rock you obviously came from for some reason to post absolute nonsense..? Thank you.
true
shareEveryone was still saying Doom turned people into mass shooters back then.
