Interesting ruminations on the meanings of the films.

None of these sites take into account the symbolism in the Matrix properties from the Bible, the Quran and the Upanishads. They aren't even mentioned. It's impossible to get the full meaning of Revolutions without at least some knowledge o...

This isn't 1999.

According to the storyline of the Matrix Online which we are all playing out, it is always 1999 in the simulation and all the "physical" and mental records of time progressing are reset to "00:00:00 01-01-1999" a second after "23:59:59 12-...

Looking for a pro- and an-tagonist, you've fallen in the pitfall of Manachian polarization, the illusion that is duality.

A few MxO players have tried to canonize their RP or fan-fic by including references to it in Wikipedia. Sad.

Agent Smith as a Christ-figure

At that time, Smith had plans to destroy all life, human and mechanical. By calling Sati the "last exile" he was cruelly pointing out that she would be the last exile, ever. Thank Neo, it didn't happen that way.
