why isn't Laurence not there?
Because this isn't (the real) Morpheus from the Trilogy. This is a program version of Morpheus created by Neo (Thomas) in a modal of his video game within the Matrix. This program is a combination of the real Morpheus and agent Smith.
The real Morpheus is ded in IV.
So did Trinity and Neo. The real Morpheus didn't die on screen (or even in the game which has since been classified as not canon). He died in some off screen battle outside of the main story line.
I knew you would have the most logical explanation. Did you already watch it? We were just talking about it yesterday. You are fast. :)
I still think they could have used Laurence instead. Combining Morpheus and Smith doesn't makes sense. It didn't really serve any meaningful purpose.
Laurence would be a lot more expensive, I assume the budget for this version was far less considering how it was released and almost cancelled mid-way (see below), they had a good reason plot wise to use someone cheaper, and perhaps there was something else behind the scenes no one wants to talk about publicly.
That said, I agree that using Laurence would have been better as a viewer.
One of the characters in the first part of the movie explained the purpose and to me it made sense.
Overall I think they covered all the bases well regarding plot twists and why things were done. Especially with Thomas not wanting to do the 4th iteration of the video game and blaming Warner Bros, which was Wachowski's sentiment on making this movie.
Wachowski tried to end this movie before it even finished (blaming COVID from what I recall), but the cast themselves were able to talk them into completing it.
동의. 캐스팅으로 인해 일부 줄거리가 변경 된 것 같습니다. 캐릭터가 캐스팅 된 것과 다릅니다.
From what I heard from Laurence's discussions, he was never even called.
A big eye opener for me was when I read the Wachowski's were not making a sequal, but more of a tribue for the fans. Which explains the fan service and lack of originality in the latest movie.
모피어스는 지각 있는 제단에 희생되었습니다. 모피어스는 이제 지각이 있습니다. 목적은 Morpheus 팬이 센티언트 대 AI와 함께 탑승하도록 하는 것입니다. 최근 헐리우드의 테마입니다. 우리 로봇 대군주에 대한 영화의 비유는 죽거나 죽어가고 있습니다. 이제 AI(지성)는 보호된 클래스입니다. 소비자들이 AI를 인간화하여 AI를 두려워하지 않도록 설득하고 AI 서비스(제품)를 더 많이 판매하는 것이 목적이다. Naiobi는 그들의 전임자들이 AI(지성)와 "함께" 해야 하는 AI와의 전쟁에 대해 틀렸다는 직접적인 주장도 있습니다.
결국 모피어스가 리메이크 된 이유다. 그들은 매력적인 지각 있는 캐릭터가 필요했습니다.
They could have still used Laurence, and done some magic with makeup. It was wrong not to at least approach him.
