lord explains what is happening to me
mr anderson
this is why we
both
wanted to come back
because
the matrix changed our lives making the
matrix was a life-changing experience
and it taught us something really
profound about making art making art is
transformational if you bring your
hearts and everything in it it changes
you god alice was a real breakthrough
for me artistically
and then
sense8
was probably the most
autobiographical thing that is really me
that i i've made
and i wanted this
to
bring that same
heart to the trilogy that the trilogy
is a really beautiful love and
the struggle of human beings and
the meaning of our lives is all in there
and i was struggling with it all when i
was young
and
um
but i wanted this older self this older
heart to be a part of the matrix trilogy
that's one of the reasons i wanted to go
back
this is what also
we discovered on
cloud atlas
and then we all discovered more on
sense8 that
the the way that we work
is not broken into these
compartmentalized sections of filmmaking
that it used to be very
compartmentalized like you did
the prep and you did the shoot and you
did the
the you know
um
second unit shoot and the first unit in
the second unit almost never they don't
even interact they're like over there
and then you assemble it
and the cut and then you start to do
music and then you start to do some you
know it's all this like
and the way that we work now especially
bringing music all in the beginning is
just like a constant
folding it's like
it's how you make a great croissant it's
just like you just keep layering butter
in
it was beautiful too to watch
keanu was this older
like he's the perfect age to do this
right now just like we're the perfect
age everything about it seems to be
just
in focus in a way and he
he's at this
cusp age where if he was
too much older it wouldn't be possible
and if he was too much younger it
wouldn't have as much weight and
resonance and you see
carrie and keanu
reflecting that in this
way that is only possible because of the
time that has passed
and the way that you can feel
temporality and mortality in that
passing time you knew who you were and
you knew who you were as an artist and i
there were actual shots that i said okay
i kind of have an idea of what that shot
was i'm not going to go watch the
trilogy i just kind of know what the
shot is i'm going to kind of do that
shot again
in a way that
tells you that i'm doing that shot again
but i literally can't make it the way i
made it before i mean it's like a cliche
you can't step in the stream or whatever
million cliches about it but
you can see how different
i am as like a person as an artist in
every frame
it's like
crazy how different it is even though
i'm kind of
trying to do things that are i wouldn't
say nostalgic but are
about the creation of this
piece of art from my past
again you know it's like
i'm purposefully doing it again
to say something about the way that we
do things again and again and again in
our lives and to mark the difference and
to mark the difference of how the
againness is never again
i think about things like aesthetically
all bullet time was this desire to
decouple time and space in cinema
because they're so linked and i was
trying to
look for a freedom that didn't exist
didn't exist for this character and that
character is trying to
you know
get free of the system of control that
is also true for cameras and movement
and space and i was like i just want to
move a camera in a way that's knit
that's faster than a camera can travel
in our in our
thus far thus learned
um aesthetic minds what a phenomenal
behind the scenes i have here for the
matrix resurrection i'm i'm really
excited to see this one as one of my
holiday movie picks and are you planning
to see this film as well let me know
down in the comments down below but also
let me know down in the comments down
below if you agree uh with lana
wilkowski and
her
choices on
this fourth film and
everything happening again in a sense
and i kind of saw this coming if you are
a big fan of the matrix trilogy uh at
the end of the matrix uh revolutions
they really do kind of uh let you know
that everything is about to revamp and
happen all over again then you have this
like sunset look behind um everybody
behind the city and stuff like that um
in the sky and everything and it's just
like this ultra uh perfect kind of look
so um i believe it did kind of perfect
itself and all that and the matrix uh
founded
you know a better algorithm or something
it's just insane i can't wait to see
this film and it's incredible all the
cool stuff that we were able to give
away in here i try my best not to give
away any uh story points but i really
wanted um to keep a lot of the
filmmaking aspect of things uh together

scenes here that you see here on this
