I know a lot of people like to look at the religious concepts/analogies in the Matrix movies. When I saw these movies, I got the impression that the religious references were sort of "add-ons" - not really integral to the story line. Maybe it's just me, but I thought the philosophical ideas...

I just watched reloaded again tonight. I just caught that in the end of revolutions, the prophesy was really fulfilled but in a different way than morpheus was thinking. The One went to the source (physically) and ended the war. So the prophesy wasn't just "another system of control."...

Paul, A week ago, I was thinking as you are: "Neo is not machine nor part machine." But now I'm rethinking this. If you look only at the architects use of the word "design", I agree there doesn't seem to be enough evidence to suggest that there's some "machine-ness" about Neo. But check...

Kyle, Why would the machines care where this 1% of the population goes? Why reestablish zion? Why not let the 1% fend for themselves after they "wake up"? - bones

I've read/scanned most of the posts in this thread. It looks like we're done rehashing and now we can get on to talking about some things in the story. Here are some thoughts and questions. What I took away from the films is this. (1) There are 3 parties/groups in the story: The...
