do you like The Matrix

[stretch]

My question about the Oracle was always wondering why she'd help the humans, considering the humans winning meant destruction for her. After the first part I always speculated that she'd turn into a villain as the humans got stronger, but the Wachowski Siblings (or is it still Brothers? i thought i heard one of them got a sex change) went in a different direction.

because she knew that there was no way that the humans could have the power to completely destroy the machines, while the machines could not survive without humans. she knew they had to come to some sort of truce. the machines realized that when Neo came to them, because they had no control over smith, and Neo was the only chance they had to get rid of him so that he would not destroy the Matrix, thus killing all humans tied into the Matrix and getting rid of Machines altogether.

also, just as the machines had learned different human-like emotions such as compassion and love (as evidenced in the creation of Sati which led to Neo realizing he could negotiate with the Machines), the Oracle's initial purpose which was to study human emotion, interaction, etc... evolved as well.

This thread reminds me of one of the last things I ever saw on MTV.

Thats pretty awesome.

[Sense]

The first one is absolutely awesome. I liked the 2nd and 3rd more than most people I know but thats because the genre is pretty much my favorite and I love most things scifi.

What parts did people have trouble understanding? I had trouble with how he was able to see after his eyes were destroyed a bit, but that was about it. The rest of it made pretty good sense to me.

yep

this movie wasn't hard for me to understand, I don't get why people wouldn't get it

Dude I just read the meaning to all of those movies...holy crap, now I need to buy them.

[Kriz-Maxima]

I have only seen the first and I loved it. Eventually I'll see the other two. Sometime.

And I liked the entire series. I'm a sucker for the showdown between the sentinels and the humans at the dock in Zion. Love that battle scene.

+1
That might be my favorite scene in the whole trilogy.
