The Matrix, in my opinion, is one of the greatest pieces of creative modern entertainment in our lifetimes. The 4th one never should have been made lol.
This scene in particular had the most impact on me at 1:40. https://youtu.be/X08SJFEBSxA?t=99
"You've been down there Neo, you know that Road. You know exactly where it ends. But I know that's not where you want to be.."
That's our modern system of "choice" and reality. You slave to a faceless corporation for your entire life, trying to catch crumbs as they fall and never actually having a life of meaning or fulfillment. And every year there is less and less crumbs and you watch as your life, and your possibilities with it, slowly diminish.
