Hey, I decided to write my own reveiw of Revolutions, now that I have had time to think about it some and steal other people's ideas. No, I did come up with a bunch of this on my own, but it does help to get pushes from people. It's like teamwork.
SPOILER ALERT!!!
Lets start with the questions that the last movie left us with. How the heck did Smith get into Bane? What do you mean "there have been One's before you"? And how the heck did Neo stop that machine outside the matrix?
The fact that there have been multiple One's doesn't surprise me, int the first movie Morpheus pointed that out. He said there was one with great power that freed the first few Zionites, and promised he would return. Neo was that reincarnation.
The other two are a little more difficult questions, and are kinda explained in the movie, but barely.
At the beginning of Revolutions, we find Neo in a coma, and find out that he is in some linking zone, not really in the matrix, but not really in the real world. In Limbo (Mobil Ave.) How did he get there? Well, some part of him was lost in the source, according to the movie. But that doesnt do much to explain how his mind and that part of him were communicating.
If it weren't for the coma and the strange brain frequencies, I would pass it off as this: Neo's will was in the source, looking out for him. When it noticed a machine going after Neo (through the machine's eyes) of course it would do as Neo would do (being his will and all) and stop that machine. That cause a disturbance though, and it had to go hide, in the linking zone.
However, since Neo physically feels the sentinal, and his brain is active, it has to be telepathic communication. That bothers me a bit, I'd rather him be a real person. But whatever. The brother's W do what they want.
Moving on to the question about Bane, I think that question is easy to field, based completely on what was learned in the other movies. When you plug into the matrix, you become a computer program. Your brain waves are converted to 1's and 0's, and the computer reads them. Your thoughts become actions, and your surroundings affect your thoughts. Therefore it is safe to say that the computer can, in computer terms, both "read" and "write" to your brain. Since agents can take over other people's bodies and live, it is also safe to say that the programs are written to control even involuntary functions, such as breathing and heart beat. Therefore, when Smith copied himself into Bane, his brain program replaced Bane's brain program, and his brain digits were fed into Bane's actual brain. Nifty, huh?
Then there's a war, Trinity dies, Neo fights Smith, both are destroyed, and Neo ascends into the Deus Ex Machina.
Then we get to a conversation betweent he architect and the Oracle to tie up the series.
The Oracle wanted a better world and took a gamble. Every once and a while, someone comes along, destroys the old matrix and reloads it, and the cycle repeats. But the Oracle felt that choice was a very important thing. And choice was hardly possible with those pesky machines destoying Zion every few years. So she devised a plan for this one. Apparently a child of the 70's, the Oracle decided that love was the way to peace, and peace was the road to free will. So she devised a little plan. Give the One a choice. Wasn't it her that drove Trinity and Neo together in the first movie? Every thing she said brought them closer, and made Neo's decision harder. So when given the choice, he had to choose to save Trinity. The Matrix did not undergo its standard reload. Then Neo raged against the machine and then ended up making a compromise. He fought for the machine to create peace (Neo AntiVirus Software 6.0). Exactly as the Oracle had planned. It was a gamble, as she did not know Neo would succeed. But he did, and the Oracle got her way. A world as perfect as she wanted.
Anyway, I think people need to give more props to the Oracle, she seems a bit overlooked, even though everyone says she was the best actor with the best lines. Maybe ther's a reason y'all liked her so much...She drove the movie.
Anyway, that's all i gotta say for now, I can't say much more without really stealing ideas (these really are mostly mine, seriously).
Later.
Yeah, I have 4 tests coming at me over the next three days, but I gotta take a break from studyin.
Today was "Ice Cream" day, so when I showed up to work, I was one of the only people there. After a few of the supervisors showed up, a guy walks in, and is sent over to me. I don't know why he was sent to me, I was on the phone. The guy stands across the room and starts yelling "Hey" at me until he gets my attention. I gave him the finger (no, not that one, the one that means "gimme a minute") and he walks away. So I'm a little peeved at the guy, because I was obviously on the phone, which means he must think he is the most important thing to ever live.
None of this really matters though. The real point I wanna make is coming up.
After I got off the phone, he was sent back to me. Instead of telling me his computer problem, he decides to lecture me on how the department I work for is wasting his tuition dollars. He told me to look around at all the people just standing around giggling while he had a problem. He said he would cut our staff down to 3 people if it were up to him.
I wish I could have said this to him:
What are you talking about? Do you think you are the only person that ever comes in here? I'm sorry that you came at a non-busy time, so God fobid some employess talk to each other for lack of things to do. Come back in an hour and try to get help, and you'll see that the 12 employees here are quite busy, answering phones, emails, and helping other walk in clients. The people "giggling" are all full time supervisors, they are here mostly to help the student employees, and right now I am the only student employee here. If you were in charge, you would be running the worst computer consulting service IN THE WORLD. Most people complain that they are put on hold forever when trying to contact us. And even if it wasn't as busy as that, it is helping a few students pay their tuition bills. Let's do some figuring -- say there are 20 student employees working 12 hours per week at $6.50/hr. If these wages were paid completely by your tuition, it comes to less than $2 per student at the University. But it's not all your tuition. include state funding, and add in the fact that the majority of the students there are part of the Federal Work Study program, tuition is hardly even a part of it. SO QUIT COMPLAINING! It hardly affects you, and is an enourmous help to those with less money.
Why would I even help the guy after his ignorant rant? I don't know. But I did. And I regretted it.
The guy fricken didnt even ask me a question. He said, "Anyway, I'm here because I have 6 password to deal with." That's nice. What do you want to do? "You tell me what I want to do." Oh, I love that one.
I took him to a website where he could change all the passwords associated with our department. He had no idea what any of them were for, so he asked me, and then got angry with me because, man I'm dumb, I actually assumed he was an intelligent person. Apparently he expected me to talk to him like a baby. What do you mean, what is express email? It's your fricken school email account! There is no way that you weren't given all kinds of information about that. You call me stupid for never having used the computer labs in the Union? Jeez, guy, you have some weird definitions of that word.
It ended up that the password he really wanted was one that I have no control over. He seemed angry about that too. Lay off buddy, its not my fault that one of your organizations decided to set up their own system without going through us. That's not my deal.
Worst.Client.ever.
Check next week for my review of Matrix revolutions, by the way.
