       In September this year, I read "The Matrix's" screenplay, which allowed me to see some things I didn't see from the movie alone. There are also pieces of dialogues that were eventually cut out, but I found them changing my perception a little.https://krazov.com/texts/reading-the-matrix/#TheMatrix

       Keanu Reeves himself was 35-year old at the time of shooting, Laurence Fishbourne was 38, and Carrie Ann-Moss 32, so they were around the same age. And that made Neo and Morpheus relationship more like partners, whereas in the script, it felt closer to a mentor-protégé one.And that makes difference. With a twenty-something Neo and, let's say, forty-something Morpheus, the movie could have fallen into Young Adult territory or something more for kids. And that could have been less impactful?@Krazov When I watch the movie, regardless of their actual ages, Neo looks like 30, Trinity looks like 35 and Morpheus looks like 50. So it's very much a protegé situation to me. 😅

       @christ Thank you.I saw all the movies, even back when they came out, but I find them lacking. After the rewatch in 2020, I saw how the story was struggling in parts 2 and 3. I wouldn't dare to go into potential differences.In any case, the first Matrix can be seen on its own, which I did.
