The Movie Shop Ltd Morpheus Style Sunglasses, Rimless/Smoke Lens

Product Information

Neo's character exudes coolness and confidence, making the sunglasses a sought-after accessory for those who admire his style. Reloaded and Revolutions has a few scenes that uses some glaring CGI, Neo vs the Smith army, and Trinity dying falling off a building come to mind. He envisioned glasses that were nothing short of futuristic, setting them apart as unique, unlike anything ever witnessed before. So out-of-universe it was definitely a specific choice for the production team to get a unique, individual design specific to each character. It's been more than 20 years since The Matrixwas released, but Laurence Fishburne still keeps a few mementos from the movie.

I usually bespoke actors in person, but during the pandemic, it was quite challenging as I had to do everything online. They have a double-bridge reminiscent of Trinity's original sunglasses from The Matrix, and the lens is nearly identical to Neo's sunglasses from The Matrix, except the frame is square and not wraparound, and the lens is framed. All of these answers are very good reasons to why the choice was made to have them wearing glasses, but in movie, its much simpler than that. Anderson” and “Hero” styles are sported by Keanu Reeves’ Neo (Thomas Anderson) and Carrie-Anne Moss’ Trinity, while the cat-eyed Lexy is for Erendira Ibarra’s newcomer character of the same name. I ended up creating 10 pairs of nose-clips to make sure they would stay on during all the action scenes and still look great!

The original Matrix sunglasses emerged from the creative vision of eyewear designer Richard Walker, associated with the eyewear company Blinde Optics. The fact that figures such as The Architect and The Oracle doesn't wear shades perhaps hints at a deeper level to the allegory. BUT, a very brief overview of the movie is Neo (played by Keanu Reeves) believes that Morpheus (played by Laurence Fishburne), can answer his huge question ‘What is the Matrix? Fishburne played the iconic character Morpheus, the leader of a group of people freed from the machines. Regardless of your intent, if you want to create this sort of deepfake, you have plenty of options, none of which come from Adobe.

But the quality will improve fast, and while the feature is just a prototype for now with no guarantee it will appear in Adobe software, it’s clearly something the company is investigating seriously. In addition to white rabbit motifs and mind-melting deja vu, The Matrix Resurrections viewers will see the cast wearing a new range of sunglasses designed on commission by designer Tom Davies for the sci-fi franchise’s fourth installment. The results are definitely not flawless and are very limited in scope in relation to the wider world of deepfakes.Studio Red's design for Trinity is nearly identical, having only differing nose pads and different placement for the brackets which connect the frame to the lens. Morpheus' distinctive eyewear, characterised by its sleek, round, and rimless design, adds to his authoritative and mysterious persona. Tom went from being a huge fan of the films to a huge fan who created all the eyewear for The Matrix Resurrections.

For an in universe answer for a spy sunglasses would hide their eyes so others cannot see their expression as easily or where they are looking. They symbolise his rebellion against the artificial reality imposed by machines, fitting perfectly with the film's futuristic aesthetics.

On another level, the human characters wearing sunglasses further separates the real and digital worlds of The Matrix. As we journey deeper into the realm of fashion, it becomes increasingly evident that the allure of these sleek and enigmatic accessories remains unwavering.

Fishburne's absence from The Matrix 4 means fans may never get to see the actor don his recognizable costume again. The glasses worn by the characters in The Matrixseries are a key element of each look, so this was the most creatively challenging Hollywood commission I have ever had. A noticeable difference from his original glasses are the addition of a "T" joint where the arms meet the lens and a slightly different lens shape. It is also worth pointing out that before being freed from the matrix, they were all part of the same (sub)culture.

So far, it is unclear whether Morpheus will be completely out of the plot or the character will be played by another actor. These filters use machine learning to adjust a subject’s appearance, tweaking things like their age, hair color, and facial expression (to change a look of surprise into one of anger, for example). They have also left a lasting mark on pop culture, becoming a recognisable symbol and emblematic of his character's enduring influence. As a result most films which feature actual guns firing blanks (rather than cgfx) will put sunglasses on any actors who cannot stop themselves from blinking. This metaphor is clearest when Morpheus offers Neo the red and blue pills, and the two choices are reflected in the lenses of his glasses.Notorious for his ruthless pursuit of those who threaten the system, particularly Neo, Smith's character is marked by disdain for humanity and a philosophical, menacing dialogue. It was a huge honour to be chosen to create all of the eyewear for The Matrix Resurrections, and terrific to work with the legendary costume designer Lindsay Pugh and the brilliant production team. The character description from the screenplay and clothing outfit is almost identical (except the glasses vs the implanted screens). Because deepfakes and all that’s associated with them — from nonconsensual pornography to political propaganda — aren’t exactly good for business. There's no confirmed, in-universe reason as to why the likes of Neo and Agent Smith usually wear sunglasses in the Matrix.
