| neo's new abilities/the new oracle/enter the matrix
hello all...this topic is hella long, and you're all quite brilliantly dissecting this masterpiece film, so i won't trouble you long ... just some thoughts. if i am repeating someone else, i apologize; i kinda scimmed through a lot of those posts.
neo's new abilities:
in the original film, neo sent Smith into, basically, the recycle bin of the matrix, where he faced either deletion or exile. he chose exile. as he put it, and many of you have as well, he felt purpose, as if he obtained parts of neo into his own structure. is it not plausable then, that neo has also obtained parts of Smith as well, becoming more in tune with the actual archetecture of the matrix and thus the machines? when he EMP'd the sentinals at the end, i viewed that in a sense that neo has blurred the lines between the matrix and the real world, essentially because he has become part of both structures. of course, the immense drain that would have on the human mind and body has left him in a coma now, but i believe neo has shown that he now has some sort of control over the machines in the real world, much like he can bend the rules (if not break them) of the actual matrix.
...enough of that...
ENTER THE MATRIX game SPOILERS...
sadly, as you all know, the original actress whom played the oracle died in sept. 2001, before filming had completed for Revolutions. And, she has been replaced. If you have played the game Enter The Matrix (where that picture of the new oracle came from), you will hear a little explanation of how the oracle came to look like she does now. for you i will paraphrase here:
the merovingian sold her deletion codes to someone ... causing the breakdown of her outer shell and much of her memory. her prophesizing has become more vague due to this. she mentions something about how she LET this happen for the life of a child. a child that will play an important part in things to come, much like neo. who this child is is not revealed, but there you have it...straight from the game, which has exclusively shot footage running parallel with the plot of the movie Reloaded and leading into Revolutions.
i am anxious to hear your thoughts.
