I watched the movie "Matrix" and I really liked it,but when I asked some of my friends about it they said that they didn't understand its story well as it's "very complicated",also some of them told me that it's "full of crap" because of its story,is this normal for them to not understand it?

Thanks.

Yes, it's quite normal. Most of my friends didn't understand Oceans 12 as well...they are just simple people with tiny brain.

Well in terms of movies the matrix is a little more complex, So I guess its normal.

The Matrix is kind of an odd movie anyway.

Matrix is considered to be a complex movie. But general storyline is probably easy to understand, it's usually the themes behind it that gets people.

Highly irregular! They should be fully educated by American standards on Plato's vision of the world being a place of non-existence!

They can't understand it as in, they can't figure out why one minute Neo has a tube through the back of his head, and the next minute he's got a stylish haircut?

Neo with a tube through his back is the real life Neo. Neo with a stylish haircut is a digital, computerized Neo.

Just to be safe buy your friends a hard hat each and some reflective clothing (you better help them into it).

It's a movie you have to listen to or it won't make sense. If you have a bunch of friends over when you watch it, chances are no one will understand it or pay attention. Also a lot of my friends say the same thing, so yeah it's fine.

They could be idiots in that they can't work out the idea of virtual reality or they could be very clever and can't see why the matrix would be so badly coded that clients could hakc the system and give themselves super powers

The Matrix is not that complicated. I think our attention span is getting shorter.

If they like anime, show them Megazone 23. It's a lot like the Matrix plot-wise.

I felt like the matrix was fairly easy to understand. They lay out the exposition very slowly. Your friends must have not been paying attention too well.

I never had trouble understanding the Matrix, so i guess it's not normal.
