ok....someone wanna explain how the agent smith thing is working? has he also become an anomaly?
and what about neo's awareness of the sentinels and his lapse into coma? did a part of him remain in the matrix? why is the human form of smith in the matrix? for some reason in the next one neoi has to beat smith, and save everyone, presumably because smith absorbed them all
and is the oracle evil? she did after all create the maric and if she is to be believed make a false prophecy 6 times to lure the one's into the source and destroy zion? why is neo different to them?
keanu;s martial arts looked real slick too
Remember the Architect didn't say the Oracle was the mother. He scoffed when Neo said that so I doubt that she is the Mother.
<Architect> Choice. The program is choice. The first Matrix I designed was quite naturally perfect. It was a work of art, flawless, sublime. A triumph equaled only by its monumental failure. The inevitability of its doom is apparent to me now as a consequence of the imperfection inherent in every human being. Thus I redesigned it, based on your history to more accurately reflect the varying grotesqueries of your nature. However I was again frustrated by failure. I have since come to understand that the answer eluded me because it required a lesser mind or perhaps a mind less bound by the parameters of perfection. Thus the answer was stumbled upon by another, an intuitive program, initially created to investigate certain aspects of the human psyche. If I am the father of the Matrix, she would undoubtedly be its mother.
<Neo> The Oracle?
<Architect> Please, as I was saying she stumbled upon a solution where by nearly 99% of all test subjects accepted the program as long as they were given a choice even if they were only aware of the choice at any unconscious level. While this answered function it was obviously fundamentally flawed, because creating the otherwise contradictory systemic anomaly that if left unchecked might threaten the system itself. Ere go, those that refuse the program, while a minority if left unchecked would constitute an escalading probability of disaster.
I still don't know why Neo is in a coma though. Maybe Zion is a closer part of the matrix to the "real world" thus Neo isn't as invincible yet still has his powers. Things that he could do in the first level of the matrix with ease actually hurts him in a way in the levels closer to the "real world". Maybe the closer he gets to "reality" the more "human" he gets both emotionally and physically.
PS. How many movies can create this kind of talk. People bash this movie yet there is a thread at least this long on most message boards. This movie fucking rocked!!!
