5. Before Neo meets Merovingian, we see someone being escorted away and he looks at Neo...I can't tell who he is, but it has to be someone of some importance.


My brother noticed that too... we paused it but couldn't figure out who it is. I'm sure we'll find out in the next one.

The guy is definately a guy of importance in the next matrix.

Last night i was watching the theatrical trailer for revolution frame by frame, i saw the same guy in a subway scene of revolutions... check out the picture below that i've put together...

http://www.thecodesmith.com/images/temp/mystery_guy.jpg

Interesting huh? This is just before the homeless-looking guy punches Neo across the tracks into the white tiled wall.

For some reason i'm beginning to think that the mystery guy is the Architect. Just imagine him ageing 30 years and he looks very similar.

Great eye, npsmith Smile

That homeless guy is also of importance; He's in one of the cinematics of ETM. I can't remember what he says exactly, but it's something about just "watching" if I recall, so he's probably another exile.

Ah, I knew that guy from the trailer looked familiar.

But yeah, the hobo is definatly of importance.... He certainly spooked Niobe.

I was wondering exactly the same thing when i was going thru by frames... assuming that it's a Zion ship like the Nebachunezza (sp?) could it be inside the matrix?

Or maybe that clip is after the humans make an alliance with the machines and find some way of clearing the sky to make the deal... Confused

Hmm, i'm SO interested in anything matrix right now!

Yeah, that's the hobo I was talking about. It's not the same guy at the Merovingian. It's the came who's back you see in that shot from npsmith.

And the ship's name is Nebuchadnezzar. At least that's how it sounds, not sure about the exact spelling. Named after the Babylonean king.

Tonight proves to be really fun for us. We're having a Matrix party. We're watching both Matrix movies (and maybe the Animatrix) on Blazer's 57 inch big screen, with the new speakers and receiver he got for my birthday (which make it sound like the theaters)... then we're having a Matrix discussion. We have about 10 people coming. Can't wait Smile If you hear bass coming from Phoenix, it's not an earthquake. Very Happy

I'm the bawss.

I was thinking that it could be inside the Matrix, but why would they need to do that? After all, Neo can fly. Razz

It seems more likely that it would be in the real [real] world, but considering that all ships but two were destroyed (Niobe's ship and the Hammer being left) it makes it seem less likely.

If your watching the animatrix watch The Matrix then Final Flight of the Osirus (animatrix) then A Kid's Story then The Matrix Reloaded. Thats the way to get a good FULL story out of the franchise. If u got enter the matrix play the whole story right after the first 5 chapeters of the matrix reloaded.

Assuming that it's not in the matrix, an unknown amount of time has passed since the robots took over. (as stated by Smith "it's not as it appears" or something like that) so it could be that the sky is just naturally clearing. OR if you remember the Archatect's responce when Neo asked him how the machines would survive without human energy. They had a way, could they have figured out how to clean the sky?

There's a slight possibility that the ship is falling down from the sky because of an EMP shot... just a tiny idea. Still doesn't explain the clear sky though...

If you notice, the ships, hover generators are NOT functioning. Notice the blue electrostatic discharges are no where to be seen.

My theory.......Everything we've seen so far has been INSIDE the matrix. Neo figured that out, and that's why he chose not to return to the source. It wouldn't matter, as ZION is a Matrix construct. The architect said so himself. "We have destroyed it 5 times before, and are quite proficient at it."

It's a loop to keep the ones who reject the programming (Normal Matrix world) in the Matrix while allowing them the "freedom of choice" they need to exist. They think they are fighting the machines, while in reality they are fitfully asleep, and the Architect laughs. That was why he stated the second Matrix failed until the advent of the oracle, and her discovery of " freedom to choose" They then created the alternate Matrix to accomodate those independant minds. I see further support of this theory in the fact that when he enters the architects room, the scene changes to a point of light with thousands of others. And the fact that the scene keeps rolling through multiple screens . There is no "place" where Neo is. He is concious, but bound by parallelism, that the architect is limiting him with.


The ZION loop starts all over when the "one" returns to the source, and chooses the next originators of Zion "16 MALE 7 FEMALE........" etc. I can't remember what he says, but you get the drift.

And this is why Neo realizes he can stop sentinels in thier "real world". The resulting paradox on his psyche uis what causes the induced coma.


I think that the reason you see Neo with a blindfold fighting sentinels is because in order to block the paradox, he needs to be unlimited in his perception of his environment. To focus on his surroundings would cause the coma again. Also note that a sentinel goes THROUGH his body. Impossible unless, like the Matrix, he can manipulate the reality.

Further evidence the ZION reality and the Matrix reality are one in the same:


We see Neo talking to the Matrix. They chat, and the machine says"What if you fail". The scene changes from there to Neo INSIDE the Neb, or whatever ship it is, wth a blindfold on, where he responds: "I won't."

His consciousness is coexisting in two realities at the same time. And then ... He plugs HIMSELF in. There are no human hands holding that connection spike, folks....

I support the theory that the "real" world may be another level of the Matrix, but I think something different's going on in the scene you just mentioned.

When I first saw it, I just assumed that the machine Neo was talking to was perhaps a leader of the machine world or something, not an actual embodiment of the Matrix. Nevertheless, though, that's not important. Let's look at the dialogue.

From "The program Smith has gone beyond your control...You cannot stop him, but I can." I think it's safe to assume that Neo has made a deal with the machines to stop Smith. He's blindfolded because he's in the custody of the machines for this 'deal', and the connection spike plugs itself into him because it's being controlled by the machines. Obviously the blindfold can't be functional if Neo is in a level of the Matrix, so either he's truly out of all levels of it, or it's just symbolic.

If you look at where Neo is standing when the machine rises to greet him, it looks like he's standing in another array of pods. I think it's quite possible that the coma-inducing realization at the end of Reloaded may have enabled him to wake himself up from the Matrix-Real World and become concious in the actual real world. This can also be supported by "He is trapped in a place between this world and the machine world.", but you could argue that if he'd waken up again, he wouldn't have hair...

It doesn't fly.

He is wearing a blindfold when he destroys the sentinels in transit with Trinity.

He is wearing the blindfold when the sentinel goes THROUGH him.


Neo is controlling the spike. With his mind.

I can see where you're coming from, but it makes no sense contextually.

He's talking to the machines.

He tells the machines that he can destroy Smith whereas the machines cannot.

At some point, he is in the custody of the machines. Notice that his reply to the machine asking him if he fails comes right before the spike is plugged into him. He's talking to the machine.

Now, step back and look at it. This powerful machine is near him somehow, and he's just made a sketchy bargain to take care of Smith. Is he going to show off and goof around with his powers to plug himself in or is the machine - probably in control of everything on the ship - going to do it?

ok i have a couple or questions Very Happy

1: How did the Architech know they he and neo would not meat again

2: Who is the big spiky ball that Neo is talking to in the front of the Renolutions Trailer

3: Where is that place that Neo is in close to the end of the Revolutions Trailer that is gold

My Theorys theese probly arent really even close just stuff ive been pondering Laughing

1: When the Oracle says "He is trapt in place between this world and the machines" well maybe the matrix before you get freed is like the first stage and then the stage that morpheous and trinity are in the stage to and then neo is in like stage 2 1/2 and then the machines are in stage there....that is how he can still stop the sentinals in the "real world"

It's kinda possible that the scene with the falling ship, is one of the last things you see at the end of the revolutions movie itself. That would explain the clear skies.

After the Neo/Smith scenario is done with, and everyone is playing happy families, they may then be removed from the matrix completely and the ships come crashing down out of the sky because there's no crew.

Just another weird thought to throw into the debate...

What does happen in the finaly minuets of the matrix revolutions. From the title i say the whole matrix crashes. neo and trinity are the only ones left alive. there is not matrix level 2. and neo and trinitry are left to repopulate the world. From friends i hear that every one dies and the whorld explodes from all the tunnaling.
