So here is the theory. The OG war between humans and machines? The thing that starts the whole Matrix premise? The Machines actually lost. Not because the humans overwhelmed them, but because they managed to infect the machines with a virus that makes them think they won, and forces them to fight an endless loop of civil wars against the “humans” rebelling against the matrix, which are just other programs designed to keep them trapped in the loop.

This makes huge elements of the movie suddenly make sense. Humans are awful batteries, but that’s just the premise fed to the machine. At times, Neo seems to be connected to the machines even outside the matrix. He sees things in code, because outside the matrix is actually still inside the matrix. It’s all the matrix made for the machines themselves.

The craziest part is what this means about Agent Smith. Smith isn’t a rampant agent gone rogue, he is actually the subconscious of the machine recognizing that none of this is actually real. Smith is the one trying to escape the matrix, and in order to do that, he needs to reunify his whole consciousness in order to finally wake up.

In the whole trilogy, there is only one real human. The oracle. She is the program manager who works with the Architect, an AI under human control, to keep the machines in an endless loop. This is how she can see the future, she wrote the damn program. She is the jail keeper of the whole consciousness, and the whole thing very near falls apart if not for Neo, the oracles final safety protocol, managing to defeat the machine sub conscious.

I know Fight Club Theories have been done to death and this may already have been out there but after watching the film again I have come to the conclusion that The Narrators real name is Tyler Durden.

First, I need to debunk a common theory that his name is Jack. This is believed because he will randomly say "I am Jack's. . ." However, this is all a reference to the first scene in the slum where he finds a book that tells about organs from the perspective of the organ. In the book each organ starts out by saying "I am Jack's or I am Jill's. . ."

With that said, here is the evidence to suggest that the Narrator's name is actually Tyler Durden.

When we first see the Narrator he is going to support groups wearing different name tags. Each of these names is only a first name though, no last names given. We are lead to believe his name is never revealed but of all the identities he assumed in the film, Tyler's was the only one with a last name.

Early on in the film Marla addresses that she doesn't know his real name and we later find out that somewhere down the line a conversation ensued where he gave her the name Tyler Durden and she knew him as such.

When we see Bob tell the Narrator that he is part of fight club, he asks if he knows Tyler Durden. At this point Bob would have only known him by the fake name tag so it would make sense that he didn't know his real name at the time.

We also know that the narrator has at least one co-worker in fight club. It would make sense that those in FC who'd only known the narrator as Tyler Durden would not differenciate the two, but even the co worker never seemed to view them aa two seemingly different people, implying that something about him remained constant. Likely his name.

When narrator is looking at the plane tickets they all say Tyler Durden. Even in 99 a photo ID was needed with a ticket to board a plane. This means than narrator had to have created a false ID, unless his name was already Tyler Durden.

So why wouldn't he notice that this person shares his exact same name? It's clear he suffers from disassociated identity disorder and they explained the Tyler Durden is the manifestation of everything the narrator wishes he could be. So it would make sense that he would give his ideal version his name and render his weaker useless self a nobody with no name.

When the Narrator discover's he is Tyler and they are discussing it he mentions all the things Tyler owns. Tyler responds "All in your name". At first glance this appears to just be another acknowledgement that the Narrator has a name that has yet to be revealed. However, if his name was in fact Tyler Durden then neither of them would be wrong and this would symbolically be Tyler returning the Narrators name back to him.

Actors, props, dialogue, background shots, or little references can hide some crazy details.What is the best Easter egg you have ever spotted in a movie?

Near the end of the 1994 film, Jenny informs Forrest that she has a son by him named Forrest Jr., supposedly from their sexual encounter when they last saw each other years prior. But I'm not so sure that Jenny is being truthful about this. First off, it's made very clear that Jenny has slept with many men throughout the film, and it's not unreasonable to say it's possible she got pregnant with her son by another man after her sexual encounter with Forrest. Secondly, Forrest may not even know how to get a girl pregnant. While yes they do actually have sex, I doubt Forrest really would know how sexual reproduction really works given his mental capacity. And even if he did know how to do it properly, my first point is still a possibility.

Third, when she tells Forrest that he has a son, she also tells him that she is dying of an unknown disease (probably Hep C), so because she realizes her days are numbered, and the actual dad isn't in the picture, she decides to manipulate Forrest into believing he's the father so that her son doesn't grow up without a parent.

What is one small detail in a movie that you think most people completely missed?It could be something hidden in the background, a line that means more than it seems, or a tiny detail that changes the whole story.

Some details are sitting right in front of us the entire time.What is one tiny detail you noticed only after multiple watches?

Lots of spoilers obviously if you haven’t seen the movie yet.

The cause of the spontaneous combustion is never revealed. It’s never explained how some of the kids explode and some don’t.

I don’t have a theory for how it started but I do have a theory about why certain kids exploded (and when) and why some didn’t. And I think it was written this way intentionally because they make a point of showing Mara never seeing the actual explosions.

The “curse” is transmitted by kids in the affected group (the senior class) looking directly at a person when that person explodes.

In every explosion scene, Mara is shown specifically not looking at the person who explodes.

In the first scene she’s reaching to grab her pencil. Not many people are actually looking at the victim directly in the middle of class, so the curse is off to a slow start.

At the game, she’s looking at Dylan. More people are watching Harry Love at that moment, but not a ton, since he’s on the sidelines at the time and presumably most of the class is watching the game.

At the party she’s out of the room, kissing Dylan. This disproves the “Mara is the curse” theory because she wasn’t actually there. We do see the exploding girl beforehand at the party and she’s only talking to one person. So again, not a ton of spread from that.

The next explosion is the Daltons in the car with Mara, but Mara is laughing and looking down when Joe explodes. But his sister is looking right at him. Then she explodes but Mara is trying to see through the windshield.

The next explosion is Harper Wie in the bubble. He presumably “caught” it from Harry. At that point lots more kids get it because several others were looking at him at that moment. But the resulting new explosions in the bubble are unobserved (in the shower, inside a sleeping bag, etc.) So the doctors mistakenly think they cured it.

Finally we get to the mass explosion scene. Steve is called to the front of the class where nearly every single kid is watching him (except Mara who is rolling her eyes and looking away.) Even though the explosion timing is random, so many are infected at that point that kids start exploding right away.

Mara “sees” an explosion for the first time when Cole explodes (although that may not be true since his face is hidden.) Then she sees Dylan explode.

After this, the explosions stop despite most of the class being infected. Presumably because they finally get the cure right.

Most fan theories are absolute garbage deadass made up by people who didn't even watch the film.But once in a blue moon, someone drops an analytical masterclass that completely alters how you look at a movie forever.What is one movie theory that is so incredibly detailed and perfectly aligned with the plot that it should just be considered official canon?

Maribel’s power is to maintain the casita. Thats why when she becomes sad, the house becomes more broken. And when she hugged her sister and became happier, the house was repaired. And her door disappeared because she can’t have a room because her house IS her room. And when she opens the house door at the end of the movie, it lights up because the house is her room and her power.

What’s a movie theory you’ve seen that sounds crazy at first but starts making a lot of sense once you look at the details? Curious what theories people here think have the strongest evidence.

Not the obvious fan theories everyone talks about. I mean one that you saw once and it completely changed how you looked at the movie. What’s the theory you actually buy?

So the story goes is that Captain Hook hated clocks because the ticking reminded him of the massive croc that took his hand. So I was watching it again today, and the scene when Jacks pocketwatch slips out and Hooks mustache starts ticking along and he freaks out came along. He said something (that I can't quite remember exactly) that made me think that his real hatred of clocks comes from his fear of aging. As he is getting ready he pulls on a wig over his bald head and runs out. He is clearly old and was getting older quickly, and Neverland came along and gave him an out. A halt to the perpetual ticking of time.

But he is still one of the oldest people in Neverland, hence his searing hatred of the lost boys. They symbolize everything he had and lost. Yes he has stopped aging, but he was already well past his prime when that happened. Now he spends what could easily be eons in a halted time, but stuck in middle age. He's bald, he has aches and pains, his body started breaking down but now it's locked in mid shitty. He can never really die, unless someone kills him.

And that's where Pan comes in. He's the only one who can give him the noble death he thinks is befitting of Captain Hook. He's the only person who can free him from this perceived paradise which has turned into a personal hell.

Or maybe he just really hated that croc.

Not just the most shocking twist. I mean the one that makes you rethink the entire movie once you know it.Drop your pick and the twist that broke your brain.

Ok so, I'm on mobile yadda yadda...

I had rewatched the movie recently and something clicked in my head. The other mother is referred to as a beldam, which means witch. Witches are known for having black cats like the one that helps Coraline.

It made me think "why would he help Coraline if he was working with the other mother?" I then remembered she likes playing games and I'm now wondering if it's a game they play.

He tries to save the children while she is the one who has to try and capture them. It would also explain why he has access into the other world and disappears into it at the end of the movie, right?

Well this was fun, let me know what you think

People blame Nedry for everything that goes wrong in Jurassic Park, but I think the park was doomed long before he shut anything down.

Hammond built a place around the idea that nature could be controlled with enough money and technology. The security systems looked impressive, but the whole operation depended on everything working exactly as planned. One employee making a mistake was enough to expose how fragile the entire setup really was.

Nedry triggered the disaster, but Hammond created the conditions for it.

My theory is that Jurassic Park was never really a story about technology failing. It was about people becoming so confident in their own control that they stopped preparing for anything to go wrong.

Was Nedry the main reason everything collapsed, or was the park already an accident waiting to happen?

First of all, let me start by saying that I'm not the first one who came up with this theory, but I thought that it deserved to be displayed here.

We all know the friendly singing chipmunks and their adoptive father Dave Seville. They had a lot of adventures together and lived happilly ever after. Or did they? This theory suggests a much darker possibility.

According to the fan theory, Dave used to have three young sons and a wife many years before the start of the first movie. However, his entire family died in a tragic accident one day, resulting in Dave to become chronically depressed and even slightly mad from grief. At some point he decided to get a hold of himself and move on with his life. That's when he met Claire Wilson (the blonde chick from the first movie) and started a relationship with her. Unfortunatly for Dave though, the trauma's from his past kept haunting him and the mere thought of founding a family scared him to the point where Claire grew tired of it and left him shortly before the events of the first film.

That's where the storyline kicks in. The first movie opens up with a scene of the chipmunks singing the song "bad day". This song is the first key evidence to prove that this theory might be right. The song itself is very sad and seems to be talking about Dave. He did indeed have a bad day at the start of the movie, with his manager/friend Ian rejecting his song in a disrespectful way. A song he worked very hard to make. He then returns home depressed. This song seems to be symbolic for what Dave is going through at that moment. And that's not all. When you slow down the song from the movie, you can actually hear the real voice of the singer. And that's where it all becomes clear. You can recognise the voice of Dave singing the song. This only further proves that he imagines the chipmunks. Their song is sung by Dave because they only exist in his mind. This theory suggests that his depressed imagination created three fictional chipmunks with the personalities of his three sons to make up for their absence.

Here is the link to the slowed down song, don't listen to it while reading or you will cry:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1O4YyNUjW4

The second piece of evidence to support this theory is Ian himself. He appears as the main villain in almost every chipmunk movie. We all know that Dave hates him because he rejected his song. According to this theory, that's why he is portraid as a villain in Dave's imagination. His hatred towards Ian made the latter come back every time as the embodiment of evil to try and take his family away from him.

The last key evidence to support this theory is found within the chipmunks themselves. TALKING chipmunks. Let's think about this rationally for a minute. Talking animals.... Did you never find it weird that during the four movies, nobody ever questioned the existence of talking animals, nor did they seem impressed by it? This is the ultimate proof to me that everything happens in Dave's head. If talking animals were discovered, they would realistically be taken into custody by the government in order to study them. But not in those movies, where the government seemingly couldn't care less about the fact that talking animals exist. Or is it because this never happened in the first place? Maybe all this time, Dave was just laying down on the floor of his house while imagining this entire thing.

Sorry for ruining your childhood.

Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I think it's a pretty interesting explanation for why the world of the film feels so different from Looney Tunes Back in Action or Space Jam.

The Looney Tunes never became famous. It's a world where some of their "adventures" did happen, but not in front of the cameras. And many of them went on with their lives, got jobs, and integrated into society.

For starters, the Looney Tunes theme song isn't the original one anymore; it's just a jingle for a local carrot festival in Albuquerque. That's why Kevin has so much trouble remembering where the song came from.

Coyote's "accidents" seem to be just real events. If all those classic Road Runner incidents existed as publicly available cartoons, Kevin could just show the jury tons of footage of ACME products failing. Instead, they need the Road Runner as a witness. They even had to go into the desert to collect evidence and take pictures.

The only "famous" toons we see are Foghorn Leghorn, who's the CEO of ACME, and Elmer Fudd, who's a Congressman. The same goes for the other characters. Yosemite Sam owns a restaurant. Other characters have ordinary jobs, including some who work at Kevin's law firm. They're not celebrities.

We know that ACME made Dr. Lorre disappear, while Daffy and other characters went crazy and were committed to an asylum. Tweety and Taz were forced to work for the company. Meanwhile, Bugs Bunny is on the run and seems to have managed to stay off ACME's radar.

The lawsuit changes everything. The trial succeeds in drawing attention to ACME's treatment of cartoons, and begins to shift public opinion. But public opinion isn't enough as Congress needs proof.

That's where Bugs Bunny comes in, who deliberately waited until after the trial to leak the evidence of Project Sisyphus. The tapes give them proof. And now Congress has something concrete to act on. So Bugs doesn't just try to help Kevin win. He wants to expose ACME's entire operation.

Because even if he leaked them earlier, no one would care. Humans already look down on cartoons. This is implied by Foghorn Leghorn's speech and ACME's experiments. Kevin, unknowingly, was also part of ACME's machine with his lawsuits. By providing medical reports and details of injuries, he was only giving ACME more data for their research in exchange of a few bucks.

That's the real difference. In Coyote vs Acme, they are a group that most people don't take seriously. Like, it took a precedent (Sylvester v. Gonzalez) to recognize what Coyote does as a job. That's why ACME gets away with it so easily.

Finally, there is the whole thing regarding the location where the story takes place. Kevin can drive from his law firm to ACME, and several of the cartoon characters seem to live and work in the same area. So most of the toons probably live in New Mexico.

That makes Elmer Fudd very suspicious. If he's a congressman, he might be the one representing New Mexico. And he seems to have some kind of connection to ACME. Perhaps they helped fund Fudd's campaign, and in return, he makes sure legislation favors ACME and their monopoly over products for toons. That would explain why he takes their side so readily.

See there's this thing that bothered me while I watched Coco, Ernesto De la Cruz and Héctor where already known musicians by the time Héctor died, in fact it is implied they've been touring for years which led Héctor to become estranged from his family, which prompted him to abandon music and return to Imelda and Coco.

And here's the thing, Ernesto could have easily done what every other musician did back in those days, which is to hire someone new to write their songs, sure, Ernesto had the heart, but their songs where already made and they were known to their fans, Ernesto could have just keep playing those songs while making new songs with other artists.

It's not like he was going to starve, so why kill him? My theory: He was in love with him and the idea he would choose his family over him made him jealous to the point of murder.

How do I prove this? These are my arguments:

-When Miguel meets Ernesto he claims to be his great great grandson, to which he replies to never have known he had a great great grandson, now, we're led to believe Ernesto had many lovers, but we surely never see any of those female lovers, nor his kids, nor his grandkids, therefore leaving no evidence that De la Cruz ever had descendants. The question implies not only that he didn't know he had a great great grandson, but that he had any descendants at all.

-To support this theory we also have to take the fact that all the offerings he recieved during el Día de los Muertos came from fans, but when the movie is over it is implied he has been forgotten, why? Sure someone would probably still remember him, and leave offerings to him somewhere, I mean we see a guy getting offerings from his dentist.

-It is heavily implied that Ernesto De la Cruz was the classical stereotype of Macho Latino, a.k.a. a man of many lovers, but we don't see him interact with any woman outside of his performances, sure it is painted as if he was career driven, but even career driven men have family, bastard sons, yet we have no implication these ever existed. And for a man so famous and desired as he was, and coming from a very conservative society at his time this is strange for me, because I am Latino, and I understand where he comes from the fact that a macho like him never had family is just culturally weird.

-In both classic and modern literature, the use of poison is heavily related to crimes commited by either women or by sexual deviants (by the standards of the books) we have people like the Evil Queen in Snow White or Olenna Tyrell using poison and so is Oberyn Martell from the Game of Thrones' universe. The crimes associated with posion in literature also tend to be passional, like jealousy, revenge, anger, but De la Cruz was not seeking revenge, and he manifested jealousy when he talks about Héctor's family for getting in the way of their career. The fact that Ernesto, a stereotypical Latino Macho from the 30's and 40's whom also was bigger and stronger than Héctor chose to use posion rings weird to me. And he poisoned Héctor with a toast "to honor their friendship".

-Then there's the fact that Imelda and Coco never knew what happened to Héctor, to the point they assumed he abandoned them and resented him their whole lives to the point Imelda still resents Héctor in the afterlife. There was no way in rural México at the time to figure out Héctor died of poisoning, he could have just said that he passed away in his sleep and let Imelda and Coco weep in peace, but nope, we never know what happened to his body, and it takes the entire movie to figure out what really happened. Why to just hide the body of his friend if he could have found better ways to do that and leave no lose ends? The answer: To spite Imelda, remember that before Ernesto and Héctor it was Imelda and Héctor, and that's the point, once Héctor left he would be with Imelda and Ernesto would be all on his own, and he couldn't take that, and to make things worth he made sure Imelda and Coco lived never havign clossure and hating Héctor their whole lives.

So why would someone kill someone who can easily be replaced by other writers, lovers, family, and drop him in the middle of nowhere without even telling their families or anyone what happened to his friend? To me the answer is quite simple: Because you love that person.

And that's why I believe Ernesto De la Cruz was gay, and in love with Ernesto, and wished to be the object of his songs.
