Message: <blockquote data-quote="s/LaSH" data-source="post: 1213594" data-attributes="member: 6929">Why did they need codes for Zion? Here's what I think: Remember those giant doors? Remember when [spoiler]Zion Command almost didn't let the Hammer in because it wasn't broadcasting[/spoiler]? Trojan Horse tactics. Send in one hovercraft loaded with Sentinels, dock, kill everyone, cripple defences. If you don't have access codes, they don't let you through the big giant doors, maybe they open gun ports in the walls and blow the crap out of you, I don't know.I still maintain that certain characters had psychic (or miraculous) powers, pure and simple. What did Neo see in the train station? A reminder: [spoiler]It was his last journey on the Logos.[/spoiler]How would comprehension of computer code help him see that? It wouldn't, and you can't tell me it could. He's obviously got something else.All this talk of messianic tones reminds me of a conclusion I came to, however. [spoiler]There's a Christ-like figure in the film, all right, but it ain't Neo. It's the Oracle, and it fits on just about every level. Neo just pulls an Arthur, which is a distinctly second-rate death.[/spoiler] I think the Oracle's demonstrated a profound spirituality, which says some interesting things about the machines...And someone please remind me: What was the sign above the Oracle's kitchen door? I didn't catch that, and I think it could be important.</blockquote>
