Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ashrem Bayle" data-source="post: 893612" data-attributes="member: 3103">You sure we watched the same movie?The ending had a major spin on it. "The Prophesy" was created by the machines. There have been 5 other "The One"s. Zion was created by the machines as a holding pen for the 1% of the humans who couldn't except The Matrix. Neo has powers that can effect the real world. The other rogue programs. I think those are some pretty astounding revelations and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few.Almost everyone I talked to had a hard time deciphering the ending. Here is my two cents.Neo meets the Architect.The Architect reveals a series of facts not previosly known.<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">The Oracle came up with the idea that humans had to be given a choice, even if only subconsciously, of whether or not to except the Matrix as reality.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">1% of people reject the Matrix</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Those who reject the Matrix, end up in Zion. Zion is allowed to exist by the machines.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">"The One" is a flaw in the program that can't be fixed. Instead, the machines try to control him. they created the Prophesy to guide him to the Architect.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Five other "Ones" have been through this all before. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">The One has a choice. He can visit the Source and restart the Matrix. If he does this, he will get to choose 23 people to rebuild Zion and restart the human race. His other choice is to destroy the Matrix. Doing this will kill everyone still inside and the machines will attack Zion in full force killing everyone. Neo chooses option 2 so he can go after Trinity. Oddly enough, the Matrix was not immediatly destroyed. Maybe soon? [/list=1] Now, after he ressurrects Trinity, they leave the Matrix and are attacked by sentinals. Neo does something, and kills them. How? A few possibilities 1. They are not, and never have been, in the real world. Zion is yet another layer of manufactured reality. 2. Neo is more than human. It seems Neo has two "gifts". The ability to manipulate the matrix, and The Sight, the ability to predict the future. The Sight was revealed directly from the Oracle and Neo's dreams. Ok. So now we know that Neo is a psychic. This is probably the reason why he can do what he does to the matrix. His mind is evolved a bit further than the norm. I'm thinking that it is the next step in his mental evolution. Step 1: Neo always knew there was something wrong with the world. He sensed it. Step 2: He is awakened by Morpheus. He learns that he can control the Matrix, in effect, he learns to use his mind to manipulate "reality". Step 3: His acceptance of his powers in the matrix acts as a training ground for the real world. Through everything he has been through, he has become "enlightened' and has some measure of control over the real world. The movies have a lot of Eastern influences. Many Eastern philosophies teach that, once you acheive total enlightenment, you can manipulate the laws of reality. 3. When Neo was almost assimilated by Smith, something happened that linked him more intimately with the machines. 4. Neo can influence the machines by remote. His affinity for the Matrix allows him to "jack in" remotely and gain a messure of control over the machines. Another thing not immediatly noticable is Smith's presence in the real world. I'm not real sure where they are going with that, but I assume it came from the fact that he "assimilated" a "free mind". Personally, I LOVED the movie. It was much deeper than the first, and the action was great. My only complaint was that the "rave" scene was a bit too long. And no, Zion is not destroyed yet. In the previews for Revolutions, they say that they have something like 9 hours before the attack. Evidently, Revolutions will take up exactly where Reloaded ended.</li> </ol></blockquote>
