0:05 I can't leave yet. Morpheus' crew is still using the same car from the first movie with a license plate, AA-034. Maybe the Red Pills have secret locations in the Matrix where they keep their guns and vehicles, or they just spawn in the same car every time they go into the simulation. This scene is very similar to the scene when Neo is going to see the Oracle for the first time. Neo is looking out the car window and seeing the world he grew up in in a different light. In the first movie, Neo was lost because he had just awakened to the truth. He learned that his reality was a lie and that he was this supposed savior of mankind. Neo first went to the Oracle to see if Morpheus was right. Now he's going to her to see if the architect was
0:52 right. The architect revealed to Neo that Zion was part of the Matrix's system of control, that what he thought was the truth was another lie. He is not the one. just the number six in a list of supposed saviors. Neo is just as lost as he was the first time. The movie script describes what Neo is feeling at the moment. Neo stares out the window. There is something familiar about the moment, but he is unsure if he is remembering something he has done or something he has to do. Neo is right now connected to the Matrix while being checked in. He is not using his residual self-image, but a true projection of himself inside the Matrix. This is why Link cannot see him.
1:51 It's interesting how Neo says that this is the last time he'll get to talk to the Oracle, almost as if he already knew. Remember that the Oracle told Neo that he had the sight, the ability to see into the future. In the Oracle's home, she is making dough to bake cookies with the help of two little hands, Sati's. Sati is helping the Oracle. As promised, the fortune teller is watching over the little girl after her parents secretly transported her into the Matrix. And the first thing the Oracle does is teach Sati how to make cookies. Remember that the cookies are as false as the Matrix. They are pieces of code. The Oracle is teaching Sati to create and mold programs. And not only
2:40 that... You've got to use your hands. Why? Cookies need love like everything does. What does she mean about having to use your hands? Well, as we said, the cookies are codes. And one program is talking to another program... about how she could use her hands to modify the code. It's what Neo described in Matrix Reloaded. But the most interesting thing is that the Oracle said that cookies need love. We have discussed many times about how the Oracle uses love as a weapon against her fellow machines. And now she is teaching Sati how to use love in cookies. This could be the evidence proving that the cookies were modified so that Neo would fall
3:26 in love with Trinity. Neo and Sati shared a similar path. The Oracle is surprised that Neo arrived before she could have the cookies ready, which could allude to Neo having somehow escaped her sight. She is also pleased that he can recognize her Now comes one of the most revealing moments. The symbolism behind the candy is obvious. It's red and looks like a pill.
4:17 It is the same piece of candy that the Oracle offers Neo in Matrix Reloaded. Neo chose the red pill and accepted the red candy, but this time he politely rejects the candy. This time he is not playing the Oracle's games or eat anything she gives him. Remember that the Merovingian already explained to Neo how food can change a person in the Matrix, and so Neo doesn't want to make the same mistake again. Neo is distrusting the Oracle. It is the first time he has seen her since after he spoke with the architect, and she is in a new shell, which in itself is suspicious.
5:05 In the movie script, there's an extra bit of dialogue before this line, an extra bit of exposition about choice. Choice, the gift we are forever unwrapping. And you know better than most that certain changes can forever change our lives. Sometimes those choices are visible. Sometimes they're not. These deleted lines are sort of redundant to the rest of the Oracle's dialogue, possibly why they were eliminated. Yet the message of choices forever changing us, rather we see such changes or not, is interesting. She is possibly referring to Neo, who has changed from being a wimpy person to the one that all starting with a choice to take the red pill. Neo is now confident and empowered. He is well on his way to becoming the first anomaly
5:53 to change everything. Neo's answer carries a hint of annoyance. The oracle did surprise him, but not in a positive way. Right now, Neo's question from Matrix Reloaded still stands. He still doesn't know which side the Oracle is on. This scene is extremely important. Just a few moments ago, Neo rejected the Oracle's candy. We speculate that he had remembered what the Merovingian taught him about how food can be used to change people. And this scene confirms that Neo is probably following the wisdom of the Frenchman. For the first time, Neo is
6:40 questioning the Oracle Why? Recall that the Merovingian told Neo that he did not know the why. Yet here we see Neo standing in front of the Oracle, rejecting her food and asking questions. Without a doubt, The Merovingian has opened Neo's eyes. Where is this going? Where does it end? I don't know. You don't know or you won't tell me. I told you before, no one can see beyond a choice they don't understand. And I mean no one. What choice? It doesn't matter.
7:31 It's my choice. I have mine to make, same as you have yours. Does that include what things to tell me and what not to tell me? Of course not. The Oracle explains to him that they cannot see past the choices they don't understand. And she's right, to some extent. Neo is asking her about the endgame, but she doesn't know what will happen because she made a choice. Neo asks her what choice, to which she replies, it doesn't matter. We will see the result of that choice later on. The point is that she made that choice, but does not know what will happen because of it. although she strongly believes that everything will work out in the end. Then why didn't you tell me about the architect? Why didn't you tell me about Zion and the ones before me? Why didn't you tell me the truth?
8:18 Neo seems frustrated while asking those questions because he believes that the Oracle was hiding important information from him, yet she simply had to remind him of her favorite proverb hanging on the plaque over her kitchen entryway to relax him. She smiles and and reminds Neo that only he can choose when to learn the things he needed to learn. Neo finally understands that he needs to depend on himself and ask questions rather than let others tell him the answers without the questions. Ergo, he does just that. This part is equal parts interesting and confusing The Oracle explains that the powers of the One extend to the
9:06 real world, but it does not necessarily mean that Neo has powers in the real world. Neo is connected to the Source in the real world. How exactly? Well, possibly due to some type of wireless piece of tech in his body, Neo managed to touch the Source, shut down the Sentinels, and connect to MobileAV without jacking in. Interestingly, the Oracle says that Neo should be dead, This is what should happen to all programs that return to the Source. They are eliminated, or die, so to speak. Yet Neo touched it and lived. The Oracle's
9:55 reaction when Neo mentions the Architect is curious. Her response to the father's warning that Zion will be destroyed was a condescending remark, similar to the Architect's when Neo mentioned the Oracle to him. The Oracle, please. Please. This shows that although they are rival programs, they have something in common and complement each other. The Oracle proposed the adding of choice to the equation. The Architect doesn't understand choice. Why not? He doesn't understand them. He can't. To him, they are variables in an equation. One at a time, each variable must be solved and counted. This is why the early versions of the Matrix failed. The
10:41 architect just could not comprehend the irrational decisions based on emotions. But the Oracle can. That's his purpose. To balance the equation. What's your purpose? To unbalance. Perhaps the purpose of their rivalry is to perfect the simulation. Anyways, the Orgle claims that she wants the same thing Neo wants. But how far is the Orgle willing to go to bring an end to the war? Well, based on her actions, she's been willing to risk or sacrifice red pills and programs alike. She manipulates them, creates a false religion, and leads them
11:30 down dangerous paths without explaining why. It's kind of ominous, her response to Neo, but she is true to her word. The Orgel will do whatever it takes to reach her goal. The machine war ended hundreds of years ago after the human leaders signed their surrender at the United Nations in the presence of the machines. The war that the Orgo wishes to end is not a war between two factions. It's a systematic control scheme, a fabricated war designed to contain the anomaly. The Orgo wants to stop the Matrix cycle. Why, you may ask? That's a topic for another video. Neo already knows that Zion is a facade and that it has been destroyed five times before without fail, yet he
12:18 still wishes to stop its destruction. Can Zion be saved? I'm sorry, I don't have the answer to that question, but... If there's an answer, there's only one place you're going to find it. Where? You know where. Neo gets the hint. He has to go to the heart of the enemy, the place that he touched with his mind, to the source. Where is the source? Machine City. What the Oracle says next is incredibly revealing. And if you can't find the answer... then I'm afraid there may be no tomorrow for any of us. Her ominous response signifies that the simulation will soon slip out
13:04 of the architect's hands, bringing the extinction of all races. Who will bring this end to all life? The Orgo knows who. I see the end coming. I see the darkness spreading. I see death. And you are all that stands in his way. Smith. Very soon, he's going to have the power to destroy this world, but I believe he won't stop there. He can't. He won't stop until there's nothing left at all. The reason why this is the Oracle's most important revelation in the trilogy is that a long time ago, after the machine war ended and the humans were imprisoned, the Oracle saw the inevitable end to everything and everyone. But here's what's interesting. We don't
13:53 know if the Oracle saw the end of the machines or before or after she had a choice to the equation. Perhaps after helping the architect, the Orgel realized that by adding choice, she had begun the path to the apocalypse. She saw the coming of death, and so she devised a plan to avoid extinction. This plan, of course, needed the help of Neo, Trinity, and Sati. Fate does have a sense of irony, as Morpheus once said, There is a certain irony in the fact that the Oracle could have been the cause of the end of the world, but that is yet another topic for a future video. What is clear is that the Oracle saw the end and she wants to stop it at any cost. The Oracle tells Neo that Smith will not stop at destroying the simulation. He won't stop until there is nothing
14:44 left. What is he? He is you. Your opposite, your negative. The result of the equation trying to balance itself out. Smith is Neo and vice versa. This completes the yin and yang symbolism that has been shown continuously throughout the trilogy. Neo and Smith are the same, yet are opposites. Smith is the integral anomaly out of control. And if I can't stop him. One way or another, Neo. This war is going to end. Tonight... The future of both worlds will be in your hands or in his. Bane, or Smith, awakens and sits up similar to how Neo did in Mobile Ave. Recall
15:33 that the Oracle just said that Smith is Neo's negative, and this is cleverly accentuated in how the two men woke up and where they woke up. Neo woke up in a place between the Matrix and the machine world, a construct. Smith woke up in the real world both awakened in places they did not belong. The Hammer crew moved Neo to the ship's deck. They jacked him into the Matrix so that his consciousness could leave the simulation and get back to his body. Captain Rowan receives the news that Bane is awake and says that perhaps he will have some answers. This is again another sample of how the film is telling us that Smith and Neo are the same. If one does not have the answers, Perhaps
16:20 the other one does. But what Roland is interested in knowing is what caused the EMP to activate prematurely, rendering all ships useless and causing the deaths of all the crews. Was it a malfunction or was it sabotage? Back at the Orgos' kitchen, her cookies are done baking. Time is almost up. The oracle knows what is coming and she is preparing for it. She mentions how she is going to miss baking cookies because she knows that she is about to bear the consequences of her choice. But who does she bake cookies for? Seraph enters the kitchen. Something important to note about the oracle's kitchen is
17:07 that the entrance's beaded curtain forces those who enter to lower their head. It's so that each person who enters seem like they're bowing. Temples in countries like Greece use bead curtains as a sign that what is behind the curtain is an important entity and that you should lower your head when entering their presence. The oracle packs up two cookies and gives them to Sati and tells her to go with Seraph. But before Sati leaves, she asks if she could come back to visit, to which the oracle responds that she would like that. And I'll see you tomorrow.
