ONLINE CHAT – Larry & Andy Wachowski November 6, 1999
Chat with the Wachowski Brothers
（站主注：百度骇客帝国吧的“杂物”曾在2006年根据Matrix Virtual Theatre的记录翻译过沃卓斯基导演俩和影迷的对话，原帖地址：https://tieba.baidu.com/p/81438280，原帖的内容已经因贴吧的审查而有所缺损。Matrix Virtual Theatre的记录和旧官网Bonus Interviews的记录之间有一定出入，这里综合了两份记录的内容。）
The brothers sat down this past Saturday night for a bit of a chat, one which tried something a little different. Those with the DVD, and a DVD-ROM player, were able to watch the movie along with the directors. This allowed Larry and Andy to comment on specific scenes while people asked their questions. Those without a DVD-ROM were, of course, also able to participate. For this transcript, we’ve included a short description of what was being viewed during the chat.
上个星期六晚上，兄弟二人坐下来进行了一次聊天，并在这次聊天中尝试了一些不同事物。那些有DVD和DVD播放机的人能够和导演们一起观看电影，这使得拉里和安迪能够在人们问问题时对特定的场景做出点评。没有DVD播放机的人当然也能参与其中。在这份记录里，我们会对聊天过程中观看的片段作简短的描述。
Larry and Andy had a great time. Their only misgiving was not having adequate time in the chat environment to answer questions more fully. They want to fix that. We’re going to set up a specific place here at the site where people can post questions to the Brothers. This is a direct result of everyone involved asking such great questions. We’ll have news of how we’re going to set this up here and on the front page, shortly.
拉里和安迪聊得很愉快。他们唯一担心的是在聊天环境中没有足够的时间来更充分地回答问题。他们想要解决这个。我们会在这个网站上特别设置一处能让人们向这对兄弟提问的地方。大家都问了些很棒的问题，因此带来了这个结果。不久后首页上会有关于这些安排的信息。
WachowskiBros: Hi!
ILoveNatPortman says: Can you give any information on the sequels, or even confirm their existence?
ILoveNatPortman 说：你能透露一点结局的信息吗？或者甚至确定结局的存在？
WachowskiBros: Yes, we are working on them right now. Well, we would be working on them right now except we have to be here in the chat room right now, LOL
WachowskiBros：是的，我们正在做呢。嗯，我说现在不是我们在这里聊天的现在，LOL(大声笑)
blindrocket says: Do you practice Martial Arts?
blindrocket 说：你们练武术吗？
WachowskiBros: No, we do not, but we watch a lot of Kung Fu movies.
WachowskiBros：不，但我们看很多功夫电影。
AgentMartin says: Why didn’t you both do the commentary on the DVD, time restraints?
AgentMartin 说：为什么你们不自己做评论音轨，时间不够吗？
WachowskiBros: That’s a two-part answer. Part one is that we believe that film is a collaborative media, that’s why we never take a film credit. We think the other artists who help create a film are important and interesting, and for people who want to understand the process of filmmaking. And the second part is, that we were too tired.
WachowskiBros：有两部分原因。第一是我们认为这是一部合作完成的电影，对想知道电影制作过程的人来说，其他帮助完成电影的艺术家更重要，更有趣。第二是我们太累了。
Hiryu says: Which Anime inspired you the most and why?
Hiryu 说：哪部动画你们最有灵感，为什么？
WachowskiBros: We liked Ghost in the Shell and the Ninja Scroll and Akira in anime. One thing that they do that we tried to bring to our film was a juxtaposition of time and space in action beats.
WachowskiBros：我们喜欢《攻壳机动队》和《兽兵卫忍风帖》和《阿基拉》。我们试着把时间和空间的动作节奏和他们一样协调起来。
AgentMartin says: Is there anything in The Matrix which you weren’t too happy with; wished you could have done differently?
AgentMartin 说：在《黑客帝国》里有什么是你们不太喜欢的，你们希望作一些改变的？
WachowskiBros: That would require the rest of the chat to answer! But, we’ll answer that in general we’re fairly happy with the way it turned out.
WachowskiBros：这应该在聊天的其他部分提出来！但是，我们可以大概的说我们很喜欢最后的效果。
blindrocket says: Would you consider yourselves computer nerds?
blindrocket 说：你们认为自己是computer nerds吗？
WachowskiBros: You got the second part right, just nerds! LOL
WachowskiBros：你第二部分说对了，我们只是nerds（讨厌鬼）！大笑
AgentMartin says: Were you excited about DVD as a medium for your movies to go to the homes of the masses?
AgentMartin 说：你们为自己的DVD作为媒体进入大众家庭而兴奋吗？
WachowskiBros: As a technology, DVD is an exciting medium. But like many technologies, it still needs to be developed by the users of the technology.
WachowskiBros：作为一项技术，DVD本身就是很令人兴奋的。但和其他技术一样，它仍需要技术的用户来发展。
Enigma says: What is the role or faith in the movie? Faith in oneself first and foremost – or in something else?
Enigma 说：电影最主要讲什么？相信自己还是别的什么？
WachowskiBros: Hmmmm…that is a tough question! Faith in one’s self, how’s that for an answer?
WachowskiBros：嗯……这是个难题！相信自己，这个做答案怎么样？
Peter says: Will there be a directors’ cut of The Matrix with any deleted scenes or out-takes?
Peter 说：会发行有未删除部分的导演剪辑版吗？
WachowskiBros: Nope, nope! Because we were pretty happy with the way it turned out.
WachowskiBros：不，不会！因为我们对出来的效果非常满意。
AgentMartin says: The two of you seemed to have a great relationship together for the making of this movie. Have you always been very close?
AgentMartin 说：看起来你们在拍电影的时候关系很好。你们平时一直很亲近吗？
WachowskiBros: We just met actually. Tonight!
WachowskiBros：事实上我们今晚才认识！
Sentinel says: What comic books inspired the look of the Matrix?
Sentinel 说：哪部漫画对《黑客帝国》的视觉效果影响最深？
WachowskiBros: The largest influence from the comic book world on the actual design would be the art of Geof Darrow.
WachowskiBros：在漫画上受的最大的影响是Geof Darrow作品的设计效果。
Playing on the DVD Now: Scene of Fed Express delivery man giving package to Neo in the office cubicle:This is the very first scene we shot in the movie, on our first day, this scene that’s playing right now, the scene with the FedEx guy. 18 set-ups in one day.
DVD显示：FedEx员工在办公室把包裹给尼奥的场景：这是我们拍电影时最早的镜头，就在拍摄第一天，现在正在播放那个有FedEx员工的场景。那天我们拍了18条。
Hiryu says: If you get the chance to make a Matrix spin-off TV series will you?
Hiryu 说：你们是否会拍《黑客帝国》衍生的电视剧？
WachowskiBros: Maybe. Especially if it could be in anime.
WachowskiBros：可能。特别是动画片。
blindrocket says: Which one of you is the older brother?
blindrocket says：你们哪个是哥哥？
WachowskiBros: I am.
WachowskiBros：我。
Revenge says: What did the humans do to scorch the sky?
Revenge says：人类是如何遮盖天空的？
WachowskiBros: We’ll answer that question later.
WachowskiBros：我们马上会说的。
larrikin says: How long did it take to film in Sydney? Was the entire movie shot in Sydney?
larrikin says：在悉尼拍了多久？整部都在那里拍的吗？
WachowskiBros: 118 days, and yes.
WachowskiBros：118天，是的。
Playing on the DVD Now: Scene of Neo on the ledge of the office building, trying to escape from the agents.
Actually, this is Keanu Reeves actually getting out onto an actual ledge, without a stunt man. He does this entire scene without a stunt man, and it’s 34 floors up.
DVD播放：NEO在大楼边上试着躲避特工的镜头。
事实上，基努·里维斯真的站在大楼边缘，没有用替身。他整个场景都没有用替身，而那是34楼。
hokeyboy says: Were the filmmakers influenced by Alex Proyas’s similarly-themed “Dark City”?
hokeyboy says：剧组有没有受Alex Proyas主题相似的一部叫《移魂都市》的电影的影响？
WachowskiBros: No, but we thought it was very strange that Australia came to have three films associated with it that were all about the nature of reality — Dark City, The Truman Show and The Matrix.
WachowskiBros：没有，但是很奇怪，有三部关于真实的电影——《移魂都市》、《楚门的世界》、《黑客帝国》——在澳大利亚拍摄。
Enjoythesilence says: How would you say Bound and the Matrix are similar?
Enjoythesilence says：对于《惊世狂花》和《黑客帝国》相似的说法，你们怎么看？
WachowskiBros: Both films examine the idea of an individual searching for their true self while attempting to escape the box that we often make of our lives.
WachowskiBros：两部电影都探讨了个体在寻找真实的自我并试着从构成自己生活的框架逃离出去。
calla says: What do the time 9:18 and the date 9/18 signify? Is this a personal reference?
calla says：时间9:18和9月18号是什么意思？这是对个人的暗示吗？
WachowskiBros: That’s my wife’s birthday (said Andy).
WachowskiBros：那是我老婆生日（安迪说的）。
Inge says: How long did the lobby scene take to shoot?
Inge says：大厅枪战用了多久拍的？
WachowskiBros: It took 12 days to shoot the lobby scene.
WachowskiBros：花了12天拍的。
Inge says: Which scene are you guys most happy with? Favorite? For me it was when NEO was on his way to Morpheus the first time.
Inge says：哪个镜头是你们最喜欢的？我最喜欢NEO第一次在路上去见MORPHEUS时的片段。
WachowskiBros: If you’re talking about the pill scene, that’s our favorite too.
WachowskiBros：如果你是说药丸的场景，那也是我们最喜欢的。
Playing on the DVD Now: Scene where the bug was being put into Neo’s stomach by the Agents. That was a prosthetic stomach, by the way.
DVD播放：特工正在把虫子放进NEO的肚子里。顺便说一下，那个肚子是机械假体。
Hiryu says: Did the movie Johnny Mnemonic play a role in casting Keanu Reeves for the role of Neo?
Hiryu says: 让基努·里维斯扮演Neo是否有电影《约翰尼的记忆》的原因在？
WachowskiBros: No.
WachowskiBros：不。
Sealouse says: Why was it filmed in Australia?
Sealouse says：为什么在澳大利亚拍呢？
WachowskiBros: Cost.
WachowskiBros：成本原因。
calla says: There are quite a few hidden messages in the movie that I notice the more I watch it. Can you tell me about how many there are?
calla says：电影里有很多隐藏信息，我越看就找到越多。你们能告诉我那里到底有多少吗？
WachowskiBros: There are more than you’ll ever know.
WachowskiBros：比你已经知道的还多。
Inge says: Did you guys take a nice holiday after the film opened? You deserve it!
Inge says：电影上映后你们有没有度一个假？那是你们应得的！
WachowskiBros: Thank you very much! And we did.
WachowskiBros：谢谢你！我们确实度假了。
Sentinel says: What do you think of the fans of the Matrix?
Sentinel says：你们觉得黑迷咋样？
WachowskiBros: We love them.
WachowskiBros：我们爱他们。
ToiletCommando says: Are you prepared to become legends?
ToiletCommando says：你们准备成为传奇吗？
WachowskiBros: Legends of what?
WachowskiBros: 什么传奇？
MadMatt says: You guys BIG Jackie Chan fans?
MadMatt says：你们是成龙迷吗？
WachowskiBros: Yes, we love a lot of Hong Kong cinema. Jackie Chan in Drunken Master II is fantastic.
WachowskiBros：是的，我们喜欢很多香港电影。成龙的《醉拳Ⅱ》太棒了。
TheTrinityACMXCL says: What about the animals in the Matrix? Are they real animals or just computer-generated images?
TheTrinityACMXCL says：那在系统里的动物是真的还是只是电脑模拟的图像？
WachowskiBros: Sadly, they are all computer-generated images.
WachowskiBros：很可惜，它们都是虚拟图像。
ToiletCommando says: Is it true that you got some of your ideas from the Vertigo comic The Invisibles?
ToiletCommando says：你们从Vertigo的漫画The Invisibles中得到一部分灵感这个说法是真的吗？
WachowskiBros: We do enjoy that comic, but no.
WachowskiBros：我们是很喜欢那部漫画，但是没有。
ThedrickFel says: What exactly was the mirror made of? Was it the same stuff they injected into Morpheus? Why silver?
ThedrickFel says：那面镜子到底是什么东西做的？是和注射到Morpheus身体里的是同一种东西吗？为啥是银的？
WachowskiBros: The mirror is actually a mirror. When Neo sees it it’s a hallucination, but it’s the direct result of the pill Morpheus had given Neo. Reflections in general are a significant theme in the film. The ideas of worlds within worlds.
WachowskiBros：那镜子就是一面镜子。Neo看到的是一个幻象，这是Morpheus给Neo的那粒药片的直接作用。反射是电影中一个非常重要的主题，代表世界里有世界。
Playing on the DVD Now: Scene where Neo is breaking out of the pod.
DVD播放：Neo从豆荚里出来。
WachowskiBros: We’re pretty happy with the way this scene turned out. Keanu did some amazing work in this scene which included six hours every morning of prosthetic makeup. And he had to sit in a freezing cold vat of goo for another six hours.
WachowskiBros：我们很喜欢这个镜头。基努做得很好，包括每天早上接受6个小时的化妆，还要在冰冷的粘液里再坐6个小时。
AgentMartin says: Are you surprised by the amount of Internet life that The Matrix has spawned, fan sites etc?
AgentMartin says：你们对黑客帝国产生的很多黑迷网站而惊讶吗？
WachowskiBros: Surprised? Yes, very, surprised. We are very, completely stupefied by the fan response to the film.
WachowskiBros：惊讶？很惊讶。我们对粉丝们对这部电影的反应都惊讶得麻了。
On DVD, Morpheus offers Neo a choice…
WachowskiBros: The idea of the reflection, the two Neos in Morpheus’ glasses, is that this represents the two lives Neo is leading. In the left lens, we see the blue pill and Thomas Anderson, and in the right lens, we see the red pill and Neo.
DVD播放：Morpheus向Neo提供一个选择……
WhachowskiBros：反射的概念，在Morpheus眼镜里的两个Neo代表了他的两种生活。在左边的镜片中，我们看到蓝药片和Thomas Anderson，而在右边的镜片中是红药片和Neo。
Jose says What kind of drug does the red pill contain?
Jose 说：红药丸装的是什么成分？
WachowskiBros: It’s like a computer virus that’s meant to disrupt Neo’s life signal so that they can pinpoint where Neo’s body is in the power plant.
WachowskiBros：类似一种分离Neo生命信号的电脑病毒，这样他们就可以精确地找到Neo位于发电站的身体。
Playing on the DVD Now:Scene where all the acupuncture needles were in Neo and they were rebuilding his muscles
DVD播放：Neo在进行针刺疗法，它们正在复原Neo的肌肉。
I was very happy with the Don Davis score in this scene, that included his use of a boy soprano, which I thought was very eerie. Don had a great idea, to use a human voices choir in scenes like the power plant and scenes on the Neb to sort of suggest the plight of humanity.
我很喜欢Don Davis在这个镜头的配乐，其中使用的男高音吟唱在我看来十分诡异。他很有水平，用人的声音来表达发电站和Neb上的情况，表现人类的挣扎。
Renxo says: Which is your favorite flick?
Renxo says：你们最喜欢哪个部分？
WachowskiBros: Too many to answer.
WachowskiBros：太多了。
unholyTrinity says: When did you think about making this movie for the very first time? Was there a kind of special inspiration given by any event, occasion or something like that?
unholyTrinity says：你们什么时候开始想拍这么一部电影的？这是某件事情给你们的灵感吗？
WachowskiBros: It all happened very rapidly. We were working on another comic book, and a friend asked us if we had any ideas for a new series. And we said no, and then we just started talking about a couple of ideas that we had been working on in connection to cyberpunk fiction. And, a whole idea sort of exploded, over a period of about three days.
WachowskiBros：那发生的很快，我们当时正在制作一部漫画，一个朋友问我们有没有什么新的灵感。我们说没有，然后我们就开始讨论当时我们正在构思的与赛博朋克作品有关系的想法。之后简直是思想爆炸，我们三天就想出来了。
Renxo says: Where were you born?
Renxo says：你们出生在哪里啊？
WachowskiBros: Chicago
WachowskiBros：芝加哥
Doc says: So, WAS the Japanese animation Megazone 23 an inspiration for the Matrix? The stories seem very similar.
Doc says：《黑客帝国》有没有受日本动画片《无限地带23》的影响？故事看起来很像。
WachowskiBros: I’ve never seen it. But send us a copy, it sounds good.
WachowskiBros：我没看过。不过给我们发份拷贝吧，听起来不错。
theman says: How did you guys come up with the idea for The Matrix? Playing video games? Shock therapy?
theman says：你们咋想到《黑客帝国》的？打游戏？休克疗法？
WachowskiBros: No, designer drugs.
WachowskiBros：不，阴谋家的毒品。
Starr22 says: Are all the religious symbolism and doctrine throughout this movie intentional, or not?
Starr22 says：在电影里所有关于宗教的符号和教条都是有意义的吗？
WachowskiBros: Most of it is intentional.
WachowskiBros：大部分是的。
On DVD, on the Neb, Neo is being plugged in for the first time.
WachowskiBros: One of the things we tried to do with the Neb, when we were shooting “in the real world”, was use long lenses to separate the humans from the background; as opposed to when we shot the Matrix, we used short lenses to place the humans in specific deep spaces. We also tinted all of the lights blue in the “real world” and green in the Matrix.
DVD播放：在Neb上，Neo第一次接入。
WachowskiBros：这是我们对Neb的一个尝试，在真实世界我们用长透镜使人和背景分开，相反的，在虚拟世界我们用短透镜把人和背景放在同一深度。我们还把真实世界的光变蓝，Matrix的光变绿。
Renxo says: Do you reflect your personality on Neo’s character? Were you/are you…hackers?
Renxo says：你们有没有把自己的特点加到Neo身上？你们是黑客吗？
WachowskiBros: We’re probably not good enough to call ourselves hackers, like NEO.
WachowskiBros：我们还没有好到叫自己黑客的地步。
Playing on the DVD Now: Scene where Morpheus and Neo are discussing the scorched earth in the Matrix
WachowskiBros: There have been many questions about the history that Morpheus suggests in this scene, and we have written the history in a fair amount of detail, and we often have hoped that if we did an anime series, we would tell the story of this history and the story of the first One. Somebody asked us about the liquification of humans. That’s what they feed the people in the pods, the dead people are liquefied and fed to the living people in the pods. Always recycle! It’s a statement on recycling.
DVD播放：Morpheus和Neo在讲军队毁灭天空的事情。
WachowskiBros：在Morpheus所说的东西里有很多问题要说，我们已经写好了这一段的详细历史，会在动画片里告诉大家。有人问过我们人类的液化，那就是机器喂养人类的东西，把死人液化喂养活着的人。永远循环！这是重复利用。
White_Beezatch says: Will there ever be a Matrix video game?
White_Beezatch says：会有黑客帝国游戏吗？
WachowskiBros: Hopefully yes. If things work out the way we want them to, the video game will be released when the next movie comes out, and it will actually have something to do with the movie.
WachowskiBros：是的。如果一切顺利，游戏会和下一部电影一起发布。会和电影有联系的。
DrBasher says: Who came up with the wardrobe, because Trinity’s outfits rocked? So did Morpheus’ and Neo’s. Was it part of the original script?
DrBasher says：谁设计的服装？Trinity的衣服好酷。Morpheus和Neo的也是。这也是在原始剧本里的吗？
WachowskiBros: We described her as a woman in black leather in the script. But, mainly the costumes were designed by Kym Barrett.
WachowskiBros：我们在原始剧本说她是穿着黑皮衣的女人。主要是由Kym Barrett设计的。
Chandler says: Since you have worked with the same composer and cinematographer (the great Bill Pope) did you find that it was easier to think ahead about a visual or musical style for the film?
Chandler says：你们和之前合作过的作曲人和摄影师（伟大的Bill Pope）共事，这是否令你们在考虑电影的视觉听觉类型时更轻松？
WachowskiBros: Did Bill Pope ask this question?No, but it’s easier to execute them. You develop a shorthand language with people you’ve worked with before. You tell Bill “We need a ‘B’ move”, and he knows what to do.
WachowskiBros：是Bill Pope 让你问的吗？没有，但更容易执行。和合作过的人会有一些特定的短语。对Bill说：“我们要个B运动。”他就知道怎么做。
pomru says: My friends and I are wondering what anime you showed the producers to get this movie green-lighted?
pomru says：我和我的朋友想知道你们给制片人看了什么动画，让他同意把电影弄绿一点？
WachowskiBros: If only it had been that easy. We had to draw the entire movie and Keanu Reeves had to agree to do the movie before anybody green-lit it.
WachowskiBros：没那么容易。我们必须再把色调调绿之前画出整部电影，还要基努·里维斯同意拍这部电影。
DrBasher says: Also, the special effects rocked, was the script conceived knowing the special effects were available, or were the special effects conceived to make the script possible?
DrBasher says：还有特效太强，是剧本使得特效有发挥的余地还是特效孕育了剧本？
WachowskiBros: Some of the special effects had to be invented, mainly Bullet Time.
WachowskiBros：有一些特效必须被发明，比如子弹时间。
yellerdog says: What are the odds of the Wachowskis directing a “straight up” live action adaptation of an anime?
yellerdog says：你们直接指导一部改编的动画的可能性是多少？
WachowskiBros: I thought we did.
WachowskiBros：我想我们已经做了。
DrBasher says: How long did it take to come up with the script, because it’s great?
DrBasher says：你们花了多久构思的剧本？因为那太棒了。
WachowskiBros: We wrote the script before we had even directed Bound. And had been working on it up until the time of production.
WachowskiBros：剧本在我们导演《惊世狂花》以前就完成了。不过我们直到制作的时候还在修改。
TGee says: When did you first think you would have such a huge hit on your hands?
TGee says：你们在什么时候第一次想到自己会有这么一部大热的电影？
WachowskiBros: It kind of was like a giant art house hit, in that it just kept going and going and people kept talking about it, and there was never a moment where people were like “it’s huge.” People liked it, and it just kept going.
WachowskiBros：这有点像一场热门的艺术展，其中事情就那么发展而大家都在讨论它，人们从来不会说“它很热门”。大家喜欢它，而它就这么持续下去。
ToiletCommando says: Are you going to do any projects besides the Matrix?
ToiletCommando says：除了《黑客帝国》你们还会拍别的东西吗？
WachowskiBros: Maybe. If we’re still alive.
WachowskiBros：可能，只要我们还活着。
Playing on the DVD Now: Kung-fu training with Morpheus.
WachowskiBros: This scene took fifteen days to shoot, and about four months of training…it’s all Keanu. This is Keanu running up the pillar and doing the full airborne 360.
DVD播放：和Morpheus练功。
WachowskiBros：这段戏拍摄花了十五天，而训练大约花了四个月……都是Keanu自己完成的。跑上柱子然后回翻360度的是Keanu。
ToiletCommando says: Is it hard to work as brothers? Don’t you disagree on everything?
ToiletCommando says：和兄弟合作困难吗？有分歧咋办？
WachowskiBros: Mom flies down to the set every day to settle every one of our arguments．
WachowskiBros：妈妈会每天飞来片场来平息我们的每一次争吵。
BigMac says: Rumor has it that Cypher is not dead. Is this true?
BigMac says：谣传说Cypher没有死。是真的吗？
WachowskiBros: If you ask Joey Pants, it is. Joey Pants started that rumor.
WachowskiBros：如果你问Joey Pants，那答案是肯定的。就是他开始谣传的。
Playing on the DVD Now: The jump scene where Morpheus jumps from one building to another
DVD播放：Morpheus从一个楼顶跳到另一个。
WachowskiBros: That shot, where Morpheus jumps up out of frame, we called “The Worst Camera Operator Shot in the World.”
WachowskiBros：Morpheus跳出镜头的时候，我们说那是“世界最烂的摄影师拍的”。
garrett says: Isn’t it rather ironic that Morpheus and his crew are completely dependent upon technology and computers, the very evils against which they are fighting?
garrett says：Morpheus和他的船员十分依靠电脑技术，那是他们最大的敌人啊。是不是很讽刺？
WachowskiBros: Yes!
WachowskiBros: 就是嘛！
ooo says: What is The Matrix?
ooo says：什么是The Matrix？
WachowskiBros: About two hours and fifteen minutes long.
WachowskiBros：大概两个小时十五分钟。
Playing on the DVD Now: Scene entering the building where they ambushed by agents
WachowskiBros: Those doors are actually made out of wood.
ＤＶＤ播放：他们被特工伏击的楼里．
WachowskiBros: 那些门其实都是木头做的．
spark says: What made you decide on the green tint for being in the Matrix?
spark says：什么使你们决定在Matrix里使用绿色调？
WachowskiBros: It was a whole motif inspired by the phosphorous green of old PCs.
WachowskiBros：旧PC机的磷绿色给我们的灵感。
Playing on the DVD Now: Agent training where woman in red dress appears
DVD播放：特工识别训练时红衣女子出现
WachowskiBros: People don’t realize how important this scene is. Because we are all staring at the woman in the red dress! There’s actually twins and triplets that we hired in that scene. And all of the clothes are based on black and white costumes, like nuns, chefs, brides, sailors. We had the idea that Mouse just doubled people instead of making originals. But we couldn’t afford to do it digitally, so we ended up hiring as many doubles, or as many twins, as we could find in Sydney. It was kind of like a bad dream on the set.
WachowskiBros：很多人没有注意这个镜头有多重要。因为我们都在盯着那个红衣女郎看！其实在这个镜头里我们雇用了双胞胎甚至三胞胎。所有的服装都用黑色和白色制服，像修女，厨师，新娘，水手。我们的想法是Mouse图省事就复制了一下。但我们没钱用电脑做，所以我们尽量多的雇用能在悉尼找到的双胞胎。在片场这里像某种噩梦。
grey says: How did you get the money for “The Matrix”?
grey says：你们拍《黑客帝国》的钱怎么搞来的？
WachowskiBros: Begged. And the big-hearted Warner Brothers came through.
WachowskiBros：讨来的。好心的华纳兄弟给我们的。
Stone says: Would you like to direct Jackie Chan?
Stone says：你们想给成龙拍电影吗？
WachowskiBros: Sure!
WachowskiBros：当然！
Lyn says: Have you guys been approached to direct Batman?
Lyn says：有没有人让你们拍蝙蝠侠？
WachowskiBros: Yes, but we thought we’d be busy doing the sequels.
WachowskiBros：有，但我们忙着制作电影续集呢。
Playing on the DVD Now: Sentinels looking for the Neb and then Cypher with Agent Smith in restaurant
DVD播放：电子乌贼在搜索Neb，然后Cypher和 Agent Smith在餐馆里。
WachowskiBros: We’re pretty happy with the way the sentinels turned out. The digital artist that John Gaeta found did some amazing work. Cypher, at the beginning of this scene, is setting up an automated system to allow him to go meet with Agent Smith. By the way, this steak was one of the best steaks we had in Sydney. We got to eat all of the ones that Cypher didn’t finish. Several of the cast members actually got sick eating this stuff during this scene.
WachowskiBros：我们很喜欢电子乌贼的样子。John Gaeta找来的电脑动画师做得很好。Cypher在这之前设置了自动运行系统来准备这次见面。顺便说一下，他吃的这块牛排是悉尼最好的牛排之一。后来我们把他没吃完的牛排都给吃了。一些工作人员吃出病来了。
EZGuest316 says: Could you say a little about the sound design which was terrific such as the slo-mo bullet ripple effects, Foley effects?
EZGuest316 says：能说说是怎么设计子弹时间那种恐怖的声音吗？
WachowskiBros: Dane Davis is a genius. He built all of these sound effects from all kinds of original sounds. He’d put bullets on strings and whirled them around his studio, he digitized raindrops against windowpanes to create the sound of the Matrix code.
WachowskiBros：Dane Davis 是个天才。他从很多原始声音中合成了这些声音。他把子弹系在绳子上，在录音室里转圈。他处理了雨打在玻璃窗上声音来制作绿色数码的音效。
JediKnight says: Have you been approached with any sci-fi scripts and do you have plans to do any?
JediKnight says：你们现在准备拍一些别的科幻片吗？
WachowskiBros: Right now, we’re focusing just on Matrix 2 and 3.
WachowskiBros：现在我们在准备《黑客帝国》的2和3。
Freethinker says: Just out of curiosity, do you guys hold to any religious beliefs?
Freethinker says：我是好奇啦，你们有什么宗教信仰吗？
WachowskiBros: Non-denominational.
WachowskiBros：没有宗教派别。
Astral_Traveler says: How did you choose the music?
Astral_Traveler says：你们怎么选择音乐？
WachowskiBros: For the most part, we chose the music ourselves. But we hired a consultant D.J. in LA named Jason Bentley, a musical whiz kid, who had a lot of swell ideas.
WachowskiBros：大部分我们自己挑，但我们还聘请了一个洛杉矶的DJ，叫Jason Bentley的音乐神童，他有很多奇特的想法。
JimmyEO971 says: Will Joe Pantoliano be the DeNiro to your Scorsese, the Divine to your John Waters?
JimmyEO971 says：Joe Pantoliano（Cypher的扮演者）对你们来说会是Scorsese的DeNiro，John Waters的Divine吗？
WachowskiBros: There is a court order against Joe Pantoliano for coming within 100 feet of us.
WachowskiBros：法庭规定他不能靠近我们100英尺以内。
biggysmalls says: How many bluescreen/greenscreen shots are in this movie?
biggysmalls says：在电影里用了多少蓝幕／绿幕技术？
WachowskiBros: That’s a good question. There are 450 digital effect shots, but green screen? Probably about 125.
WachowskiBros：问得好。一共有450个数字特效镜头。绿屏嘛，大概125个。
wrygrass says: Did ideas from Buddhism influence you in making the film?
wrygrass says：在拍电影时有没有受佛教的影响？
WachowskiBros: Yes. There’s something uniquely interesting about Buddhism and mathematics, particularly about quantum physics, and where they meet. That has fascinated us for a long time.
WachowskiBros：是的。关于佛教和数学有一些特别有意思的东西，尤其是量子物理，还有它们的碰撞。这使我们着迷了好久。
gdreams says: Will you use Yeun Woo Ping again?
gdreams says：你们还会用袁和平吗？
WachowskiBros: Hell yes!
WachowskiBros：会的！
gtbpitt says: Do you think The Matrix will develop a cult following in the decades to come?

WachowskiBros: 我们希望和《魔兔之夜》一样多.

DVD播放：Neo和Morpheus进入先知的公寓.
WachowskiBros: This is my wife (Andy) about to be on the screen here. She comes in right there! …This kid is great!
WachowskiBros：我（安迪）老婆等下会出在屏幕上。就在这里！……这个孩子很不错！
letmein says: The phrase “paying taxes” comes up a few times. Why?
letmein says：“纳税”这个词出现了好几次。为什么？
WachowskiBros: Because we usually couldn’t afford to pay ours. It is an examination of what is and is not certain.
WachowskiBros：因为我们一般付不起。这是确定与不确定的考验。
Tank says: I am a computer artist and I am very interested in knowing what type of computers and software you used to create the 3D effects?

WachowskiBros：了不起的女演员！
Wesbran says: Is the title “The Matrix” related to the mitochondrial matrix located in cells; the site of cell respiration, the creation of energy in humans?
Wesbran says：“The Matrix”这个标题和细胞里的线粒体基质（mitochondrial matrix）有关系吗？这是细胞呼吸的位置，人体的能量来源。
WachowskiBros: Like the movie itself, there is a lot of word play, a lot of hidden other meanings, a lot of multiple meanings. Besides that, we also like the definition, the mathematical definition of the use of matrix, or the use of it in terms of a woman’s womb.
WachowskiBros：就像这部电影本身，有很多的文字游戏，很多的隐藏信息，很多的多重意义。除了这个，我们也喜欢数学中的矩阵定义，或是生物的母体的定义。
DVDReporter383 says: Do you surf fan sites? Do you have the time?
DVDReporter383 says：你们会看影迷网站吗？你们有时间吗？
WachowskiBros: We’ve looked at a few. There are some cool ones out there.
WachowskiBros：我们看过几个。有一些挺酷的。
virtualMatrix says: What is the significance of Neo eating the Oracle’s cookie?
virtualMatrix says：Neo吃先知的饼干有什么意义？
WachowskiBros: There was a piece cut out of the movie that explained the significance more. It’s hard to explain.
WachowskiBros：有一段被删减的片段更多地解释了其中的含义。很难直接解释。
agunn3 says: Have you ever been told that the Matrix has Gnostic overtones?
agunn3 says：有没有人和你们说过《黑客帝国》有诺斯替教的色彩？
WachowskiBros: Do you consider that to be a good thing?
WachowskiBros：你认为这好不好呢？
RockyMtnBri says: Any chance of novels being written above and beyond the movie, like Star Wars?
RockyMtnBri says：会有关于电影或超越电影的小说吗？就像星战那样。
WachowskiBros: Maybe.
WachowskiBros：也许。
Freethinker says: The Matrix was very-well received by critics, as well. Did that surprise you? How much stock do you hold in critics?
Freethinker says: 《黑客帝国》也受到了很多评论家的好评。你们感到意外吗？你们对评论家有多大的把握？
WachowskiBros: There were some critics that really didn’t like it. Did it surprise us that some liked it? You don’t really hold much stock in critics, you tend to make movies for first, yourselves, and second, your audience. And the greatest thing about critics is that sometimes they can help find your audience.
WachowskiBros：还是有很多评论家不喜欢的。一些评论家喜欢它让我们惊讶吗？一般来说你真的不会太指望评论家，拍电影第一是为自己，第二是为观众。关于评论家，最大的好处就是有时他们能帮你找到观众。
AgentMarr says: What was the thinking behind the use of numbers that can be read both ways like 303 on the hotel door where Neo meets his destiny?
AgentMarr says：那些正反着读都一样的数字该如何解读？比如Neo遭遇命运的303房间。
WachowskiBros: Like the wordplay, there’s a lot of numbers play in the movie as well.
WachowskiBros：就是文字游戏，电影里有很多数字游戏。

Playing on the DVD Now: Where they are trying to escape the agents inside the wall of the building
DVD播放：他们躲在墙里想躲避特工。
WachowskiBros: This scene, this set right here, the wet wall, is something like forty-eight feet high, and they are actually really worming their way down with wires. This was a hard stunt.
WachowskiBros：这个镜头，这面墙，大概有48尺高。他们是真的身上绑着线在往下移动，难度很高。
DVDReporter383 says: Do you surf the net? If so, where do you go?
DVDReporter383 says：你们上网吗？上的话，一般去哪儿？
WachowskiBros: We’re everywhere.
WachowskiBros：我们无处不在。
linusa says: Do you believe that our world is in some way similar to “The Matrix,” that there is a larger world outside of this existence?
linusa says：你们相信我们在Matrix这样的世界里吗？在这个世界外会有一个更大的世界吗？
WachowskiBros: That is a larger question than you actually might think. We think the most important sort of fiction attempts to answer some of the big questions. One of the things that we had talked about when we first had the idea of The Matrix was an idea that I believe philosophy and religion and mathematics all try to answer. Which is, a reconciling between a natural world and another world that is perceived by our intellect.
WachowskiBros：这个问题可能比你想象的大。我们想文艺作品最重要的部分就是在努力解释一些大问题。我们在刚开始有这个想法的时候，我相信哲学，宗教，数学都试着在解释它。调和自然世界和另一个世界的基础就是感知自己的智能。
godbox says: Confronted with Neo’s choice, which would you chose?
godbox says：面临Neo的选择时，你们会如何选择？
WachowskiBros: Blue pill.
WachowskiBros：蓝药片。

WachowskiBros: We had a lot of wonderful comments.
WachowskiBros：我们有很多很好的评论。
Lincoln says: What comment do you have to those who say that the Matrix will probably be recognized as the first 21st Century film?
Lincoln says：对于那些说黑客帝国会被作为21世纪的电影代表的人，你们怎么说？
WachowskiBros: Well, first we’d be grateful for the comment. Then we’d have to point out the clerical error that it’s in the 20th Century, and not the 21st until 2001.
WachowskiBros：首先我们很高兴听到这个评论。但我们要指出一个书面错误，现在还是20世纪，到2001年才是21世纪。
wrygrass says: Did you do camcorder films or other film practice that helped you direct?
wrygrass says：你们有没用可携式摄像机或其他的练习来帮助拍摄？
WachowskiBros: No, nothing on video, but we did fiddle around with 16 mm film.
WachowskiBros: 不，没有拍下来，但我们会摆弄16毫米胶卷。
Revenge says: What is the symbolism of all the analog rotary phones?
Revenge says：那些模拟转盘电话有什么象征意义？
WachowskiBros: There’s a couple of meanings. We liked the analog nature of older technology. We liked the suggestion of old original phone hackers. It sort of suggested the big Rube Goldberg device that’s in the mirror scene.
WachowskiBros：有很多意思。我们喜欢旧技术的模拟性质。我们暗示了老式的电话飞客。这也某种程度上暗示了那个镜子场景所使用的Rube Goldberg装置。
On DVD, Agent Smith tries to get Morpheus to give the access codes to Zion.
WachowskiBros: That’s the largest translight ever constructed, and that is actual mercury in the hypodermic needle, by the way. It was considered one of our most dangerous sets, because we had mercury, it had to be poured into the hypodermic needle.
DVD播放：Smith特工试图从Morpheus口中问出Zion的访问密码。
WachowskiBros: 这是建造过的最大的照明背衬。顺便一说，注射器针头里面是真的水银。这被认为是我们拍的最危险的镜头之一，因为我们用了水银，而且必须倒进注射器里面。
Inge says: What was it like seeing the movie with an audience for the first time?
Inge says：第一次和观众一起看这部电影是什么感觉？
WachowskiBros: Terrifying.
WachowskiBros：可怕。
Stone says: Was the Alice in Wonderland theme just a whim, or do you guys have a big love of it?
Stone says：把《爱丽丝梦游仙境》放进来只是一时的兴致，还是你们非常喜欢？
WachowskiBros: Big fan! It is a brilliant book. Many of the themes we tried to echo in The Matrix.
WachowskiBros：超级粉丝！这是部非常智慧的书，很多意象是我们想放进《黑客帝国》来的。
Orange_Crush says: I noticed that The Matrix is currently #30 in the IMDB top 250. That’s quite an achievement. How do you feel about being classified with other legendary films and filmmakers?
Orange_Crush says：我注意到《黑客帝国》排进了IMDB前250强，目前排名第30。这是一个很大的成绩，你们认为和其他传奇电影和制片人列在一起感觉如何？
WachowskiBros: Lucky.
WachowskiBros：幸运。
Wesbran says: What happens to all the gadgets in this movie after it is done filming?
Wesbran says：电影拍完后，那些道具咋办？
WachowskiBros: Most of them are so fragile they break as soon as you’re done filming. And Joel Silver collects the rest.
WachowskiBros：大部分是易碎品，基本上拍完就坏了。其他的被Joel Silver（制片人）收去了。
Sinclair says: Why were they only able to jack in through hard lines, but still able to communicate over cell?
Sinclair says：为啥他们只能从电话线接入，却可以用手机联络？
WachowskiBros: Sinclair, Good question! Mostly we felt that the amount of information that was being sent into the Matrix required a significant portal. Those portals, we felt, were better described with the hard lines rather than cell lines. We also felt that the rebels tried to be invisible when they hacked, that’s why all the entrances and exits were sort of through decrepit and low traffic areas of the Matrix.
WachowskiBros：Sinclair，问得好！大多是因为我们觉得要将大量的信息传送进Matrix需要大容量通道。我们觉得比起手机信道，这些通道最好用电话线来描述。同时我们觉得反抗军在骇入时会试图隐藏自己，因此所有的出入口都安排在Matrix里破旧的交通偏僻的区域。
The12thMonkey says: The guy that played the lead agent was worryingly convincing, did it take a long time to find him?
The12thMonkey says：带头的特工说话很有说服力，是不是花了很多时间去找这个演员？
WachowskiBros: Yes, actually, and that was one of the fortuitous things about going to Sydney, is that it led us to find Hugo.
WachowskiBros：是的，事实上，这是去悉尼碰到的一件很幸运的事情，正是因为这个我们才找到Hugo的。
wrygrass says: You said in an interview that string theory might show up in the film, did it?
wrygrass says：你们在一次采访中说电影里也许会涉及弦理论，是吗？
WachowskiBros: Maybe in the next one, I (Larry) have just now begun to understand string theory.
WachowskiBros：也许下一部吧，我（拉利）才刚开始接触弦理论。

wrygrass says: Do you have any funny stories from filming you would like to share?
wrygrass says：拍电影时有什么好玩的事吗？
WachowskiBros: That newspaper had to be actually a giant piece of metal with newspaper glued to metal pages. How’s that for funny?
WachowskiBros: 报纸是其实是用带着报纸的巨大铁片粘在一起的，好玩吗？
Lincoln says: What is your fave line in the movie?
Lincoln says：你们最喜欢的台词是？
WachowskiBros: “Dodge this.” And, “There is no spoon.” We also liked that one.
WachowskiBros：”Dodge this.” 和”There is no spoon.” 也是我们很喜欢的。
Mahy says: Do all of the things that happen in the Matrix have some computer-based analogy…or did you just do some of it because it was cool?
Mahy says：在Matrix里所有的事都是和电脑有关联的吗……还是说你们因为这样比较酷就加了一些东西？
WachowskiBros: Yes. We like to try and pack as much stuff as we can in when we do a movie. So some of the stuff we do relates to the narrative, and some of the stuff we do because we like.
WachowskiBros：是的。我们喜欢在拍电影的时候加入尽量多的东西。因此加入的东西有一些是和叙述有关联，有一些是因为我们喜欢。
biggysmalls says: Do you like Planet Of The Apes?
biggysmalls says：你们喜欢 《人猿星球》吗？
WachowskiBros: Yes, love it! “Get your damned dirty hands off, you stinkin ape!”

Playing on the DVD Now: Describing Bullet Time
DVD播放：解释子弹时间。
WachowskiBros: The idea of Bullet Time came about because we wanted to shoot an event at incredibly high speed which means slow motion, but move the camera at regular speed, which is impossible. The first theory for Bullet Time involved a rocket camera that was abandoned for safety purposes. Then, John Gaeta suggested a digital solution. Which brought it to the screen.
WachowskiBros：子弹时间的概念源于我们想要用极高的速度拍摄一个事件以展现慢动作，但镜头还是按正常速度移动，而这是不可能的。我们原先有一个用火箭摄像机的想法，但由于安全因素被放弃了。后来John Gaeta提出了数字化的解决方案，最终将子弹时间带到了屏幕上。
keanucarrie says: Which scene was the hardest to shoot?
keanucarrie says：最难拍的是哪一场戏？
WachowskiBros: The subway fight scene. It was incredibly cold and everyone was very sick and it went 10 days over schedule. And was particularly brutal to the two actors.
WachowskiBros：地铁站打斗。那里非常冷，每个人都病了，而且超过了预计十天。对两个演员来说尤其残忍。
Dogma says: Have there been any discussions with comic book companies to publish a monthly-type of comic based on the Matrix, not just an adaptation, perhaps with Darrow illustrating it?
Dogma says：会有基于《黑客帝国》的月刊漫画吗？不只是改编本，还会有Darrow图解的那种？
WachowskiBros: We’re going to release another series of stories on the web site. Geof Darrow is going to illustrate a couple more short stories written by Andy and I. And, we’ve toyed with the idea of continuing the story in comic book form when the movies are finished.
WachowskiBros：我们会在网站上发行另一个系列故事。Geof Darrow还会再制作几个我和安迪写的短故事。我们还想再制作紧跟着电影结尾的漫画。

kr says: How long had you been working on writing the story and was there re-writing going on while filming?

WachowskiBros：改动不多，一点点啦。 有人问我们电影里的街名是否都很重要。它们都是基于芝加哥的地名。
Santayana says: I love the casting of this film. Specifically, Hugo Weaving. Why him?
Santayana says：我很喜欢电影的演员。特别是Hugo Weaving。为什么找他？
WachowskiBros: We had seen the movie “Proof” and we flew Hugo into L.A. to meet and he did a phenomenal reading. And was willing to undergo the four months of training. He’s one of the finest actors we’ve ever worked with.
WachowskiBros：我们看了电影《情如物证》，就让他飞到洛杉矶见面。他的朗读相当好，而且他同意接受四个月的训练。他是和我们合作过的最好的演员之一。
Hiryu says: Did you ever consider doing a cameo appearance in the movie?
Hiryu says：你们有没有想过在电影里客串一下？

WachowskiBros：我们太丑了！

AgentMartin says: Do you appreciate people dissecting your movie? Do you find it a bit of an honor or does it annoy you a little, especially when the person may have it all wrong?
AgentMartin says：你们喜欢别人剖析你们的电影吗？你们会觉得有些荣幸，还是苦恼？特别是别人完全搞错的时候？
WachowskiBros: There’s not necessarily ever an “all wrong.” Because it’s about what a person gets out of the movie, what an individual gets out of the movie.
WachowskiBros：其实没有一定“完全搞错”的说法。其意义在于一个人、一个个体能从电影中得到什么。
Vindicator says: The whole idea of electronic stimuli of atrophied muscles is great. Did you guys consult any medical experts for accuracy?
Vindicator says：电刺激来恢复肌肉的主意太棒了。你们有没有咨询医学专家来以使电影完成的更准确？

AgentMartin says：很多人说Neb的铭牌，“Mark 3, V.11”是指圣经的“马可福音 3:11”。 这是故意的，还是仅仅记录飞船的建造而没有更深的意含义？
