Yeah I can't forgive these cliffhangers, at least we get the full story in a few months though unlike SW.

The fact that Morpheus and the others took so long to find Neo is bad for the Architect, though. Seems Neo developed more of his own personality and was a different person by the time he even learned about the Matrix, so he had different ideas of what he could and couldn't do going in. The others may have had "more respect" for the Marovingian, meaning possibly that they treaded more carefully, but Neo could do more against his minions. He has more "skill" than his predecessors. Because of these things, I think that the Architect was telling the truth about the five previous incarnations of the Matrix and it's subsiquent offshoots, like the creation of Zion. I also think that the Architect knows something else is going on inside the Matrix that's beyond its control (ie, Smith taking control) and that's why it tried so hard to convince Neo into going back to the source for the ultimate reboot. The machines ARE desperate.
Problem for the humans is, Neo doesn't know what's he's possibly becoming. That's the WHY he hasn't figured out.
Anyway, that's my theory. Feel free to poke holes.  |
well I don't want to poke holes,
but I agree with this. The Oracle also tells Neo it is not the choice he will make that matters, since she already knows the choice he'll make, instead, what matters most is that he must understand why he made that choice. I like the connection you made with Trinity and the human race in general, rescuing Trinity then bringing her back to life could also symbolize his role for humanity:
Saving Trinity is essential, since that shows Neo cares, he's not one dimentional, he's fully rounded, and this love for Trinity is not selfish. If he could love her, he could love humanity. But this is stretching it I suppose, oh well.
I would also like to comment on the whole Christ angle of these movies, in the original, Neo was shot dead, but then came back to life, the resurrection anyone?
Perhaps Revolutions will be the Armaggedon of the bible(the battle in Zion), agent Smith(Bane) is the anti-Christ, and Neo the savior king? But not literally of course, but as a symbolism if we are to expand on the Christ=Neo mytho of the series?
Just speculating of course, now you can poke holes.
When can we start discussing those cool effects and out of nowhere gags(it was a fun brawl, what made it more fun was Neo ending it by doing his "superman thing", and all the Smiths looking speechless with a kind of WTF? look on their faces,
)?
I also liked Neo's "You could have just asked", line to the Oracle's bodyguard.
Neo's one cool hero.
Anyway, continue, this is a very intersting discussion.
