Thanks pkgrl! :wave:
Maybe he couldn't because Neo isn't completely sure what his purpose is: he still doesn't know WHY he's the One.
Hey, here's something else I remembered. During the Key Maker's story about the building that houses the "source", Neo has another vision, one in which the building itself seems to be infected, growing blemishes or tumors that knit together, then explode. The fact that these blemishes are the color of fire, and that Neo explodes out of the building in a blaze, is it simply a vision of what his action would do to the Matrix? |
I think your on target here. Neo hadn't fullfilled his purpose as 'The One' (to reboot the Matrix). Since everything in the Matrix seems to be pre-ordained or pre-programmed if you will (Thus the oracles ability to know everything that will happen) perhaps Smith did not have the programming ability to 'overwrite' Neo because his fate has already been programmed by the Architect.
As for Neo's vision during the Keymakers monolouge, I think we were simply seeing the series of events that were already programmed to happen or it was forshadowing Neo's choice once he got to the 'source'.
This led me to another thought about the movie that I almost overlooked the first time I saw it. When Trin,Neo and Morpheus go to see the Merovingian, as they're walking up to him at his table, Neo looks to his left and sees someone being taken away and they used that little Matrix sound effect as to say 'This is important, remember it', but it goes by so fast I don't know if this was ever resolved by the end or if it's something for the next film. Anyone else notice this?
