She ended up not loving it.
"Keanu was so young then! Lots of him getting chased in the computer. Seemed repetitive. I wasn't paying attention after a while."

Sounds like she didn't actually pay attention.
The ultimate disappointment. When a close person completely fails to appreciate something near and dear
I'm afraid to re-watch this movie... it had such an impact on me, I don't want to ruin the memory.

Perspectivesā¦ some things chime some things donāt. Perhaps watched it with a more literal mindset rather than ab āitās all a simulationā mindset.
"Lots of him getting chased in the computer" may be the best summary of The Matrix I've ever seen š
I wonder what she would think about āV for Vendettaā
Not sure she will handle Blade Runner 2049, either. š
You got to hit her with āeverything everywhere all at once movieā first
That she was even willing to sit and try it is something. My dad is 86 and I love him, but as a retired engineer he still canāt appreciate Bitcoin being designed by an engineer. He wouldnāt watch it I donāt thinkā¦ but then he didnāt believe me before I built a rocket mass heater in our new house.
Two years later heās always impressed when I tell him that we heated the house with $8-10 worth of wood for the entire winter. Thatās only because we bought trimmings from an Amish sawmill nearbyā¦ it would have been free if we had just collected sticks and fallen limbs all year from our woods! šš¤Ŗš„°
šš thats hilarious. huh. yeah wow its all computer
Tell mom I respect her review. Iāve tried over the years to watch it and itās so boring.
Maybe sheās not quite a sci-Fi fan?
It's true. Her other context:
"I usually don't care for sci fi. But wanted to watch because you recommended it. So as far as sci fi goes, it's pretty good and has an outstanding cast. The funniest line has to be when Keanu says he knows Kung Fu. Or when one of them sneezed and gave away their hiding place behind the wall."
Thatās a bummer but life is still great š¤š¼š§”
Definitely donāt let her watch reloaded then
Different age/generation. You really had to watch it around the time it was released with a certain worldview.
I'm a HUGE fan of the Matrix, but only the first. I can see where she is coming from.
