"The Matrix: Revolutions"

Well, it's out and I shall be buying it. "Why?!?" I hear you cry ... well, partly because I have the first two and I like closure and partly because I have the missus' nephews and nieces staying with us most weekends and holidays and a certain amount of my DVD purchases have them in mind.

The nephews (who are both 10) love The Matrix and Reloaded so they'll no doubt want to watch it, much the missus' annoyance.

They cant be opposite equations because the Oracle unbalances these equations and where is she? In Smith I do beleive Mav is right and Smith is not Jacked into the matrix so they couldent "pump" him with energy.

they just made up some poxy excuse about her making a choice she had to live with.

I shouldn't pick at them, they are great films, they just seem to take themselves far too seriously, like a modern version of the bible or something. Without agent smith, there would be no comedy aspects whatsoever.

One thing that has been bothering me from watching the film numourous times is that i still don't know how the oracle died (changed bodies) in between reloaded after we see her in the park before the 100 smtihs fight, and at the beginning of revolutions?

Smith had grown beyond the machines' control. Like a computer virus, they had no way of stopping it. By letting Smith copy into him, Neo provided the crucial link to Smith's program.

but if the machines can 'pump' neo with energy, surely they could just as easily destroy smith. and if the machines knew how to do this, why wouldn't they have sought neo out and captured him, while he was still plugged into the matrix?

it seems strange they would put so much emphasis on all this 'balancing of equations' malarkey, just to make it superflous. I've seen it 3 times now, and it makes the most sense to me that neo and smith are opposite equations, that cancel each other out when introduced, like a chemical reaction.

I don't think so - that leaves far too much to be assumed.

At the end, we see the machines "pumping" Neo, with some kind of energy, and as a result Smith is destroyed.

I think you were right with your original assumption, maddmun.

it makes the most sense.

Neo is compared to christ several times in the films.
So he's dead.
But he'll be resurrected, that's my thoery.
Today, since it's easter.

Anyway, I'm now confused about the end of smith, I always thought the what the oracle was going on about, how smith is neo's exact opposite (Hence why one will never be more powerful than the other, hence why each of them was getting hurt, therfore, if one died, the other would die too, to balance out the equation, blah blah blah, and that's why neo let smith kill him)

But now, yousay this stuff about the machines killing smith.

Well, I'm confused.

He's a human, though.

True, but I would've thought that if his code was disseminated, then his code would be dispersed and it would be impossible for him to exist.
