| Hello, its my first here to post but I do read lots of your opinions and its really amazing how this story can spawn a lot of fascinating thoughts. Well as for my own opinion...
I agree with skyron on his post:
( The Architech says that "The function of the One is now to return to the Source, allowing a temporary dissemination of the code you cary, reinserting the prime program." this code is "The Splinter in (his) mind" that Morpheus mentions in the first film
Don't cha see? The code gets implanted into a sutable host in one of the "pod people" someone who in early life exhibits the proper "sh*t disturbing" characteristics who will make good use of the scrap of code that makes him The One. This code is an enabling sub routine. This code is the thing that is reincarnated and becomes closer to perfection with each incarnation. By returning it to the source, the machine can then use it to get better insight into humanity and hopefully, use it themselvs to improve the Matrix or even to become more perfect machines which, to these machines, amounts to the same thing.
So it would seem to me that each of the five previous Ones were not Neo but were other humans who carried earlier versions of the code. )
But I would like to add something else also. I've been reading lots of post about the Oracle, the Architect and the Merovingian. But how bout the most sinister and most strangest of them all. Agent Smith?
Remember when Agent Smith met up with Neo once again and explain to him he is now free. And yet at the same time He's not free. I think when Neo destroyed or went inside Smith on the first movie Neo somehow 'inserted' that 'Splinter' program into Smith and hence Smith's new abilities as well as 'freedom'. Smith says that he now understands much more of whats happening.
Another note, I think what the Architect is refering to crashing is what is happening to Smith as Smith is able to duplicate himself by able to copy himself to 'software' , ergo, the humans that connects to the Matrix. Yes, even the freed humans like Neo, Morpheus and, the most perfect example, that guy in that other ship. (forgot his name) Smith is the evil that the Machines seems to avoid. Well, I got this after watching the whole ending credits and finally watching the preview for Revolutions. Neo and Smith facing each other in the rain and flanked by millions of Smiths on the side. Neo says something like 'it ends tonight' and Smith like 'We've been waiting for you'.
Perhaps this is the true purpose of Neo. To save the humans AND machines and make them live together side by side by understanding one another. Hence the Oracle saying 'making a believer out of me'. She believes Neo can pull it off. Well just a thought. |
