Matrix Reloaded Review

Agent Smith is this franchise's Gollum. He's going to be the X-Factor that the machines fail to take into account, and will consequently allow some Hobbit-esque strategy or manuever to slip through the cracks.

The architect said "You are only human, and so you may not understand everything I say."

He wasn't talking to Neo, he was talking to us.

Though that was, to me, a wonderful conversation.... and I think I understand. I started to form the idea during the conversation, specifically when he talked about then doing this 6 times already. It was later confirmed (to me) with that bit with Neo at the end (did you all remember to stay after the credits for the trailer btw?) I think that pretty much the only people who have a chance to understand that conversation are people with computer knowledge. The issues he discussed were issues that computer scientists should be familiar with, and finally the Oracle, the Keyman, and everything else all made sense.

He said that .001% of people did not accept the Matrix he created and that they needed special treatment. Well what was that special treatment? Another matrix.

If 99.99% of the people who rejected the main matrix accept the second matrix then you're down to just 0.000001% of people who reject both the first and second. Or, Neo.

So yes, there are 2 matrices. Atleast two.

When a human rejects the matrix the machines switch them over to the second matrix. Why do they do this? Well because they don't want to lose their battery and because it would not be efficient to track down every delinquent. Instead they create a second virtual world and give the humans a city to congregate in. Every once in awhile when these anomalies reach a critical mass they are deleted, in mass, in Zion. That is the purpose of Zion, Agents try to stop him? Why did they make things so hard for him? To make it seem real, for him. If they made it too easy he the Oracle, the keymaster, and everything else.

Everyone is still in a pod. It wouldn't be efficient to delete everyone individually, so they group them all in Zion to be deleted in mass by killing their minds.

This deletion is necessary, Neo is necessary, so why did the Agents try to stop him? Why did they make things so hard for him? To make it seem real, for him. If they made it too easy he might not succeed.

Then there are those exile programs. What bull? I hope everyone familiar with computers rolled their eyes when the Oracle was explaining that. Come on, programs? But in the end it makes sense. Those programs weren't rogue programs but rather programs made to guide Neo through the process. The keyman's purpose was over when he died, he had opened the door. The question is, why? Right... how much did the question of "Why" come up in conversation in that movie... its all foreshadowing see.

Why require Neo at all? Well he is the anomalie, of the second matrix, he is that .0000001%, by giving him this purpose, this pacifier, they keep him under control and negate the threat.

Its like your temporary internet files. It would not be practical to delete them after you are done viewing each page. So you store them in a central location for periodic mass deletions.

These same ideas can be seen in the first movie. Agent Smith decribes the first matrix, how it was perfect, and how humans would not accept the reality. Morpheus and Neo talk about how Neo always felt that something was not quite right with the world he was living in, he wasn't accepting the reality. So the machines move such people to another reality, and have a go.

Now Neo has also rejected that reality, and now the fight is really on.

I remember how there was this physicist on The Screen Savers talking about movie realism and he said (duh) that there could be a city at the center of the earth. Well there isn't, in truth Zion doesn't exist, its just your temporary internet files.

if{$target == 1stmatrixanomalie{
move($target, secondmatrix);
if($target == 2ndmatrixanomalie{
move($target, secondmatrix);
load_deletion_sequence($target);
}

So... to handle the first matrix anomalies (Morpheus, Trinity) they move them to the second matrix, to handle the second matrix anomalies they create this "The One" quest as a pacifier and engineer the end result to be a clearing of the anomalies. Reboot.

Of course I could be wrong, I'm not THAT familiar with the supporting material for this movie... just the movies themselves.

The machines must use Microsoft software.

Remember how there were tons of memory leaks and other problems with Windows 95 and 98? How the longer some programs and the OS would run the slower they got because anomalies eventually hogged your memory? How the system would eventually crash without reboots?

Same thing. The software isn't perfect, it needs resets to keep working.
