Maybe I'm just a big fan of the "causality introduction" scene because it heralded the entrance of Persephone who is just plain sizzling...

Nobody has broached the most interesting subject yet... What do you think of Neo's decision? Did you fully understand the consequences and revelations in the Architect's monologue? That was one great recitation!

Let's try this again. MSIE crashed on me just as I was about finished composing my original reply.

Is Persephone hot, or what! I've ordered "Tears of the Sun" and "Malena" on DVD to see more of Monica Bellucci.

Not everything, but I got the part about Neo not being the first One. I was as surprised as Neo at the end of the movie when he had his ephiphany, just as it looked like the Sentinels were going to make mincemeat of them all. This was an interesting little development, and one not mentioned by the Architect. A variable. The outcome predicted by the Architect is not so certain now.

Thanks for the reply! I think that the whole gist of the matter is - the "real world" isn't. The Matrix is a construct WITHIN a construct. The "choice" (the red pill or the blue?) is but the illusion of such and is only there to act as a net for the people that cannot "accept" the construct. The choice is provided as a safety net for those souls that would otherwise have to be flushed.

Matrix within a matrix, dream within a dream.
