About this deal
On a visual level, the sunglasses help to differentiate between those who are "awake" and those who are still part of the simulation. Im glad they view themselves with such awesome eye ware, as the scenes that you can see the reflections would be very different and much duller without them. Fishburne played the iconic character Morpheus, the leader of a group of people freed from the machines.
For example, Morpheus scene where he meets Neo in the first movie, has a bunch of straight shot scenes.For all the analysis and interpretation, however, there's one thing almost everyone can agree on - The Matrix's sunglasses do look damn cool. This includes Neo, Trinity, Morpheus and their friends, as well as digital creations such as Agent Smith and The Twins.
When Morpheus meets Neo, he is wearing sunglasses, despite being inside a house during a rainy night. Now, given the looseness with which we define deepfakes these days, Adobe has arguably been making such tools for years.Fishburne's absence from The Matrix 4 means fans may never get to see the actor don his recognizable costume again. They wear sunglasses because making animations in sunglasses is easy and the animated scenes in sunglasses look more realistic. There's a hat that I used in King of New York that I still have, the hat that I wore in School Days that I still have. One example that comes to mind is during the fight scene in the subway, when Neo manages to shatter one of Smith's lenses - one could interpret this as the undoing of the Agents' facade of invulnerability.
