what theyre doing in both cases is cutting down by a factor of ten the number of cues that keanu reeves has to hit. given keanu reeves' probable attention span and intellect, i can accept their reasoning:) some of the fighting *was* more interactive that the worst cases im bitching about, but those parts looked fake too, because they were so precisely rehearsed.
theres also the whole thing where they do backflips and spin around and whatnot. wtf is up with that? yeah, its an established principle of physics that people turning cartwheels cant get hit by bullets. grrr... --
While in the Matrix, the rules of reality are only what has been programmed, and as a participant in the Matrix you can learn how to adjust those rules.
why are they fighting?
because when they hit each other, they will do harm.
is that roughly accurate?
so why does the one guy just stand there like an ass while the other guy hits him? and then why does the first guy take a turn at standing like an ass while the *second* guy hits *him*? if getting hit will hurt you, what exactly do you gain by standing there and getting hit? if it doesnt hurt you, why are they fucking hitting each other to begin with?
the explanation for the fight scenes in _the matrix_ is the same as the explanation for all fight scenes in movies: they have to choreograph it so nobody actually gets hurt, and then they have to film it. making it realistic under those constraints would cost ten times as much. theyd only get one-tenth the return, too, because stupid fucking action movie fans want a cheesy superhero "fight-ballet" cartoon instead of something believable. theyre too fucking stupid to see the bullshit for the bullshit it is.
in a word, action-movie fans are the stupidest fucking animals on earth.
you must be one of them, because your completely ignoring my point. its amazing, your just babbling gibberish at me. you changed the subject and you think that proves your point. wrong. it just proves your an idiot (which we already knew, by the way. your reputation precedes you).

It would be the same if the "top" musician took a baseball bat and broke the other musicians' arms so they couldn't make any more music.
i dont see a problem with that. fair's fair: the other musicians have a duty to defend themselves. if they cant be bothered, they cant complain.
