Quotes

Agent Smith: Why, Mr. Anderson? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting for something? For more than just your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson. Vagaries of perception. The temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desparately to justify an existence that is without meaning or porpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson. You must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why?! Why do you persist?!

Neo: Because I choose to.

Back in "Reloaded", when Neo, Trinity and Morpheus arrive with the Merovingian, you can see one of his bodyguards escorting out Sati's father - the man Neo met at Mobil ave. - probably after having finished the transaction to smuggle Sati into the matrix, which her father mentions to Neo in this film.

The idea of Neo becoming blinded and then being able to "See" life force is identical to a major plot event in "Dune Messiah", Book 2 of Frank Herbert's Dune. The major character with god-like powers is struck down and blinded through betrayal, only to reveal later that he can still see but in a whole new way.

The train that trainman leaps in front of has "Loop" on it. This is another Chicago reference (e.g. all of the street corners in the first film are actual intersections in Chicago). The Chicago "L" or "elevated" train (elevated is shortened to L) has a large circular section that runs around the City center. This is called the "Loop." Relevant here of course as Mobile Ave. is also a loop, trapping Neo.

A lot of people bemoan loose endings in this, but in part that's probably down to this movie, more than any other on this site (hence barely qualifying this as trivia), attracting utterly inane submissions, listed here for the amusement of people who've actually paid attention to the other two films. Firstly, at no point in either of the movies does anyone say that they've "destroyed the sun", which would have resulted in an error when they fly above the clouds and see it, as at least three people have submitted. They scorched the sky (ie. caused heavy cloud cover). How are you supposed to destroy the sun? Nor did anyone say that Zion was destroyed at the end of Reloaded - the battle which only Bane survived was the attempted EMP-based ambush of the machines within the tunnel system. And finally, Niobe didn't die in Reloaded - don't know where anyone got that idea from. Keep an eye on this entry for more daft submissions - I do wish people would pay attention sometimes...

The "alternate vision" view of the barge carrying Neo at the end has been described as angelic. It also looks like the petals of a flower, notably the Lotus flower - a Buddhist symbol for two notable things here. First, the lotus blossoms unstained by the muck from which it grows (think: coppertop farm). Second, it symbolises a sharing of spontaneous generation and giving to others - akin to self-sacrifice.

Several things in the movie relate to the video game 'Enter the Matrix.' Two examples are when Niobe says she saw the Oracle right before the EMP was fired from the Hammer. One of the video game's cut scenes are when Niobe and the Oracle have a meeting. Niobe also mentioned when she was cornered by sentinels. You get to play that level in the game where you are being chased by the sqiddies. Also in Reloaded when the power plant is destroyed, that is also one of your objectives in the game as Niobe. The Trainman and Niobe also have a brief encounter in the game. There are many other examples, but you need to play the game to find them out.

One of the bouncers at Club Hell calls Seraph "Wingless." A seraph is an angel with 6 wings, mentioned biblically in Isaiah 6.

In the scene where Neo fights Agent Smith on the road with all the other Smiths watching in the line, there was so much rain falling that Keanu and Hugo had to wear wetsuits under their clothes and could almost never see what they were doing.

The ending of Neo is remarkably similar to the end of King Arthur in the Arthurian Legends. Arthur killed Mordred, leader of the army that was tearing apart Arthur's kingdom, in a one on one fight, but was mortally wounded. He was then borne on a barge to the "Isle of Avalon" to be healed. It also says that he would 'sleep until he was needed again'. Neo is "mortally wounded" (has his 'self' nearly destroyed) in the one on one battle with Smith, the leader of the army that is tearing apart the Matrix, and ends up being borne away, with us not truly knowing if he is alive or dead, to be 'healed' of his wound. The Oracle/Sati also says that they "might someday see him again".

Another derivative Bible reference. Neo and Trinity go to the Machine City in the ship Logos. In Greek, "logos" means "word." So, Neo (Jesus), is going to deliver peace with "the word."

Neo's journey to the machine city and subsequent battle with Smith has many parallels with the new testament. Firstly, when he and Trinity fly over the clouds it mirrors the ascension of Christ into heaven. Secondly, Neo walking along the gangway where he is confronted by the Deus Ex Machina is similar to St. Paul on the road to Damascus where he was confronted by God, and lastly Neo's fight with Smith is effectively Armageddon battle of God against the devil, and leads to the end of one world and beginning of the next.
