Matrix Reloaded
[Movies] @ 11:05 AM

Don't worry, I am not going to give yet another all-knowing review. For that you can go here. After seeing the movie once, I am left with a lot of questions, some to do with the plot, some with the philosophy behind the plot and some general ones as I could not follow the scenes too well at times. So, if you have seen the movie, please help me. Warning - story line may be revealed

  1. Is the "Architect" a software or a real person? The Oracle is supposedly a code, but how about the architect?
  2. In one of the best shots in Reloaded, Neo battles Agent Smith and his "meeees". Why the hell did Neo not just fly away? Surya, my better half, reasons that maybe Neo thought that his newly acquired powers could outwit Smith. But too many mees changed the thinking. Another of Surya's explanation is that Neo does not get enough time during the fight to do what I call the "I-have-constipation" flying sequence.
  3. The Architect says that Neo is not a messiah and that The One does not bring deliverance, but rather was an anomaly that keeps on upsetting the otherwise perfectly balanced equation. Was that anomaly created on purpose by the guy who freed the first human from the Matrix (remember Matrix 1?) or was it a bye-product?
  4. Supposedly the Zion has been destroyed 6 times thanks to The One choosing to keep the Matrix alive due to the humans being plugged to the Matrix. If so, why does the Architect allow The One to choose more guys to rebuild the Zion again?
  5. In the end, we are told that the machines attacked again and destroyed the defense. The question is who all were destroyed? The first line of defense or the whole of Zion? (except for the sole survivor)
