Movies From The Past 5-10 Years You Think Will Become Classics

Here's one plot hole I saw myself and have yet to see anywhere else on the web.


The Matrix... a computer program world, controlled and "policed" by the mainframe.


Humans, using technology and phones, can free themselves... and people outside can plug in and out of the Matrix, and interfere with the machines' system.


So why doesn't the mainframe design a Matrix, that is set in the 1800s... ?
Better yet, Roman times.


No technology back then... meaning the Matrix would be completely inaccessible from the outside... or, once inside, there's no way out.
Surely a super powered machine mind would have figured that out.

I sure dont. I hope they dont go and screw this up. Watching the trailer it seems like it is a cash grab, and not only are they releasing one, they are releasing three more. This is off topic but a little funny, in one of the trailers for the new matrix I swear they have papa midnight smoking a cigar. Papa Midnight is a character from a different Keanu Reeves movie Constantine (ACTION/HORROR). Did anybody else see that or am i losing it?

because the there would not be a plot for a movie

Leaving aside the old "because then there would be no movie" chestnut, I can think of some reasons. At one point in the first film, Agent Smith points out that the current version of the Matrix (which is dated as circa 1999) is supposed to reflect the peak of human civilisation before it all fell apart due to the machine uprising. It stands to reason that, when the machines decided to build a fake world for the Matrix, they needed to build one that was as convincing as possible in order to fool as many humans as possible. Going with a replica of 1999 makes sense since that is the era that the machines know firsthand (especially in comparison to ancient Rome, which would have to be built using secondhand reference material and thus may prove imperfect enough to draw people's attention - assuming there was enough reference material left after the war that destroyed the Earth's surface, of course, which would also explain why the machines went with 1999). As for the technology issue, I guess that it was something of an exploitable design flaw, but the machines probably figure that the number of humans who manage to get free is a tolerable one (and that's without taking into account certain revelations about the true purpose of the One in the sequels).

True, but aren't you curious to know what it is that audiences just didn't get about the plot?

I think the Deus Ex Machina that is Neo getting magic powers in the real world and the Sad Chekov that results is the most obvious and blatant issue with the plot.

10 years ago was 2006 so

The Departed
Grand Torino
No Country for Old Men
Dark Knight
Hateful Eight
Slumdog Millionaire
Moneyball
Mad Max Fury Road
Zootopia
Dealdpool

Very nice to see Gran Torino on your list...I love that movie, possibly Clint Eastwood's finest work.

I think The Departed will become a clear classic in the next few years.

The Witch
There Will Be Blood

Not by me, it will always be considered as one of the worst films of all time.

Frozen (though I'm not a fan, personally)
Tangled
Wall-e
Despicable me
Marvel's Avengers
Inglorious basterds
Gran Torino
Guardians of the galaxy

>_> Really?

That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said about The Golden Compass.

It was a huge success in China

The question was what will become classics, not what are your favourite movies.
