Message: <blockquote data-quote="RangerWickett" data-source="post: 1211557" data-attributes="member: 63">I was sitting at Waffle House last night with two of my friends, discussing the movie after we got out.  I espouse that the ending is weakly written with lots of plot holes.  My friend Dave believes in the Matrix within the Matrix theory.  My other friend Neil is moderating.Eventually, while examining Dave's idea for any sort of logical support, we propose that 'The Matrix' where everyone exists normally is a standard computer virtual reality world, and that 'The Real World' is actually a sort of pocket dimension, coded with its own rules so that people who leave the first Matrix think they're in the real world, and not in a simulation.  This was Dave's way of explaining why The Matrix is all green-coded (which Neo can see), but The Real World has no code that Neo sees, except for the yellow energy of the machines.I asked why, if both worlds are matrices, would Neo be able to use all his super powers in The Matrix early on, but have very little power in The Real World.  At this point, Neil steps in and says, "It's like the Green Lantern.  Neo is Hal Jordan, and the 'real world' matrix is yellow, so he has no power over it!"Ah, it all makes sense now.  The Matrix Trilogy is an allegory for the Green Lantern comics.</blockquote>
