Comment on The Matrix
merc@sh.itjust.works 6 hours agoMorpheus says that line to Neo from within the Matrix. I think he’s basically saying to Neo that if he just used words to explain it, Neo would never fully understand or believe it. Aside from his encounter with the agents, Neo has never apparently questioned whether he’s actually living in reality or in a simulation.
Keep in mind that this is 1999 when the peak of computer graphics is Quake 3, Unreal Tournament and Crazy Taxi.

On the other hand, Neo is a skilled hacker, deep in geek culture, and he feels the Matrix like a splinter in his mind, driving him mad.
Maybe Neo would have understood, but the audience wouldn’t.
