i just got done watching TPM and i have come to the conclusion that Qui-Gon = Morpheus. qui-gon keeps saying that anakin is the one and Morpheus says Neo is the one. there were quite a few similarities between the two. anyone else notice this?

It is similar, but it doesnt mean they're the same. They also share the similarities that the prequel trilogy and the Matrix trilogy both suck hardcore.

I said no such thing....

People who get murdered are victims, people who get killed in war are casualties and people who don't get killed at all are just plain boring. -Said by me-

In my dream world people wear trenchcoats and piss on sanity's grave.

How many movies have used the phrase "The One"?

I mean, hell, there was a movie called "The One"

[16:38] Correction: dick tracy was a real man
[16:38] happydud: Actually...
[16:38] happydud: He wasn't.
[16:38] happydud: hehe..

But of all the movies that use "the one", which one is truly the One?

------------------
I have a signature.

And there are similar similarities between Star Wars and LOTR..

They should make a movie called The One One

------------------
"Just remember -- No matter how bad things get, Northern Minnesota will always be there"
-- Garrison Keeler

Or one Called "Star Wars - The prequels done properly"

Or the the one one oney one!!

------------------
If at first you don't succeed, lower your standards.

... Just like there are similarities between EVERY epic movie. next you'll be surprised that Die Hard and Lethal Weapon have similarities...

That must mean Agent Smith is really Neo's father 0_o

What once was...

"Mr. Anderson.... I am your father."

I dunno. That just doesn't have the same effect.

Prowling out of the tundra, swinging a jeweled meat hammer, cometh Outlaw Torn! And he gives a gutteral bellow:

"I'm seriously going to hump you until you scream like a banshee!"

"You are the chosen one", that line is in so many movies....

Like Mortal Kombat

I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.

Agreed Seb. Did that in English class long ago...discussed the traits similar in all epics.

I mean, even if you read the Odyssey you'll notice traits similar to modern day epics.

Usually there's always a journey (Star Wars, LotR, Matrix, Odyssey? All journeys)...

Hero usually...

etc.

Long list...

Yeah, even the Transformers movie had that whole "chosen one" bit when Prime giving the Matrix to Ultra Magnus.

Ultra Magnus was a wannabe.

Name a movie that doesn't fit this description:

Somebody must make some sort of journey because an event has disrupted the regular balance.

We were doing about narrative structure onetime, epics don't have anything more in common than anything else.

I used to believe that we must fight the future, lest change come without our consent. I was wrong. The truth is that we must embrace the future, for only with change can we remain the same.
