i never did and don't believe for a second that the mother of the matrix is the oracle - i believe it's persephone.
1: she's been around since the beginning, and probably a program
2: the architect scoffs 'please...' when neo assumes it's the oracle.
3: the architect mentions and intuitive program designed to study aspects of the human psyche. emotion, namely love, is how everything got screwed up here. persephone wanted a kiss from neo and wanted to understand love
4: merovingian was keeping the keymaker, thus preventing neo from his scripted return to the source. persephone went behind his back to make sure they got him.
i think this guy is full of hot air, and while i only skimmed it, drawing a lot of off-base inferrences like the africa bit. if you seed a population with only 23 people, and any of them have color to them, the resulting race will be almost homogenously light brown.
the people that give a shit about this and study it a little more (without the pop philosophy) should make a faq like this:
why does the matrix have to get rebooted?
because the human anomaly that brings about neo and his ilk is systemic and would rapidly result in the failure of the matrix if gone unchecked. 'we've freed more people in the last 6 months than we have in 6 years' agent smith going haywire. etc.
why don't they just kill neo when he shows up instead of rebooting?
because the process has already begun, and when he goes to the source he's still in the matrix and has control - probably cannot even be killed.
why reseed the population?
three reasons: 1: to have an element of control on the 1% of the people who don't accept the matrix (one group, as opposed to many). 2: to plant the prophecy with them and have them locate neo before things go nuts. 3: (most important) for him to exist in zion and him to know them. if he knows them, he will grow attached to them as their protector, and choose the door to save them when he returns to the source (and willfully gives up - probably the only way to beat him in the matrix).
are those neos on the screen past neos?
no. nothing said they all look the same. there are more than 5 different ones, they represent possible choices, and the choice neo makes actually zooms in and becomes 'reality' each time they're shown. also, they all choose the same door (which none of the others did)
why did he choose the other door?
because he loves trinity and he believes he can do more than save 23 people. every other neo had a 'general' love (per the architect) for the entire population, and neo's is 'more specific' - intensely moreso for trinity.
what's with that guy in zion that wants to kill him?
bane is agent smith. he 'phoned home' earlier in the movie around one of neo's prophecy sequences.
but how could he do that?
2 ways. 1 is that he's 'human enough' to pull it off because of his melding with neo in the end of the first movie, and another is that zion is actually another matrix.
how did neo stop that sentinel?
same 2 ways. 1 is that he's 'program enough' to pull it off because of his melding with smith in the end of the first movie, and another is that zion is actually another matrix.
yes, this was off the top of my head.
