A Most Excellent Retelling Of The MATRIX

My mom hadn't seen (or heard of) the Wachowski's classic sci-fi film The Matrix. We watched the entire movie together and right after she told me what it was all about. She follows the white rabbit down some... tangents.-yt

I really do not look forward to old age. God dammit. Is this really the perception and perspective that mortality has in store for me? All I want is to be 80 years old and commanding virtual star-fleets from my bed-toilet.

LOL trust me, I don't think it's old age that makes you less perceptive. The first time my GF saw The Matrix and hated it because she didn't know that they were inside a computer most of the movie and thought they were flying like in Crouching Tiger and she hates that stuff. But when I explained why they had those powers from 'hacking' the matrix which is a computer program they can enter into she liked the story alot more.

You know, you have a serious disability in fake martial arts. By the time you unleash your 7 finger death strike, your opponent's 5 finger death strike is complete and off the mat. In or out of the matrix, I feel bad.

Unless you have 7 total across both hands, which gives you a serious upper finger. If you have 6 fingers on one hand and 1 on the other, you have the nearly unbeatable 1 finger death punch. Only beatable by the no finger death punch.

This understanding is only possible in the matrix, so now that you know that, enjoy my comment.

Well, I think it seems more like she doesn't get it because she didn't have much experience or interest in sci-fi stuff, and didn't understand some of the basic concepts (like they were in a computer-generated reality). In other words, I don't think her "perception and perspective" are due to genre unfamiliarity rather than old age.
