What if Will Smith had played Neo in The Matrix? This is a question that has been asked by many film fans over the years, and one that will likely never be answered. However, it’s still fun to think about what could have been. In this article, we take a look at some of the reasons why Smith may have been a good choice for the role of Neo.

In his prime, Smith was one of the most popular and bankable actors in Hollywood. He had a lot more star power than Keanu Reeves did in 1999, which would have been an added bonus to having him as Neo. Ultimately, it didn’t work out with Smith, but that doesn’t mean the producers made the wrong choice. The movie got made and is considered by many to be one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time.

Do you know about the release date of The Matrix Series:

This series will be released on 8 March 2022. Also, the series has been released on Netflix! 8 March 2022 is the next release date of The Matrix Series. The release date was changed to 8 March 2022 due to a mistake in the early releases of the movie. It was originally released on 15 January 1999. 

This is understandable as the distribution company had made an error and released it at an unacceptably early time. Later, they corrected this mistake and the date was announced as 15 January 1999, which is when the film started filming in Chicago.

Here is the plot of The Matrix Series discussed:

The plot of this series is that a hacker named Trinity manages to hack into the computer systems of the world, and she manages to delete all of the footage from this world. She does this to hide the fact that she was a killer, but then she uploads her own edited footage, which allows people to see what’s happening in this world without them being able to see it on tape, just like they couldn’t in The Matrix itself.

What are the philosophical implications of The Matrix series?

The philosophical implications of this film are discussed by many people, and they can be summed up as Reality is an illusion. This philosophical concept means that we all exist within a computer game world and only our minds are what separates us from this reality. 

Visualizing this concept in The Matrix, Trinity is able to hack into the Machine’s system and delete all of her footage, but she then uploads her own footage on the internet, and it allows people to see what they would have seen had they never seen any footage at all.

Are humans truly capable of free will, or are they slaves to their programming?

Humans are slaves to their programming, and there is no free will because if there was, then people would be able to see through the system. This is a philosophical concept that is heavily associated with The Matrix series.

Morpheus and Trinity try to convince Neo that this world isn’t real and that he needs to wake up. Morpheus tells Neo, “The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy.  When Keanu Reeves discovers that The Matrix Meme is not real (when he does) the concept of reality being an illusion becomes a lot easier for him to swallow than it was in the beginning of the movie when he didn’t know what was going on.

Is there an afterlife, and if so, what happens to our consciousness after we die?

The movie does a great job of explaining the concept of death, and it is a natural conclusion to the story. Neo grows old and dies in this world. However, his consciousness is extracted (teleported) into another level of reality called the “real world”.

However, as noted above, he does not die, he just falls into a coma-like state that allows him to live on in this new reality that he now has control over.

Are machines capable of feeling emotion, or is that unique to humans alone?

Machines do not feel emotion, they are just self-aware machines. The only emotions that they feel are anger, joy, sadness, and fear when they become self-aware. However, humans are unique in that we’re able to feel the full range of emotions.

This is another philosophical concept that the film explores to great effect. Neo believes in this world so far that it’s real and he has logic to back up his beliefs. However, as he begins to realize he’s been living a lie, he loses all faith in this reality and his entire philosophy comes crumbling down around him as well.
