choose

This play is the best-looking and most thoughtful one in the series of trilogy. There are many classic lines. For example, the Frenchman said: Choice is a kind of hope that people with power give to people without power. Also, Neo said: Then how do I choose? The Prophet said: You are not here to make a choice, because you have already chosen, and you came to want to know why you chose this way. The combination of these two passages is very philosophical. People seem to have choices, but in fact there is nothing good to choose. Some people think that they are the result of their own choices. Some people think that it is the result of fate or the arrangement of the gods. Whether active or passive, the choice has already been made. The time, location, family, relatives and friends basically determined the subsequent development. A person's life number is like an interval. A large interval has been set at the beginning of birth. Human effort will nothing more than affect whether a person's final life number is closer to the maximum or minimum of the interval, but it does not change the interval range. People are born free but in the yoke of omnipresence. People quote the first half of the sentence more than the second half, because people don't want to believe that they are under invisible control and there are few other choices. When a person lives to a certain level of maturity, he will begin to pursue the meaning of life, from small to oneself, to men and women, to all things. The process of pursuing the meaning of life, as the prophet said in the film, is a process of understanding the reasons for making all choices, and a process of constantly asking why. But no matter what, the meaning you find is only meaningful to you. It's a process of peace of mind. If you put it in the vast universe and the long river of history, it may have no meaning. Does life have to be meaningful? Does everything have to be meaningful? In addition, Morpheus's mobilization lines are also very classic: compatriots of Zion! listen to me. Most of what you have heard is true. The robotic corps convened by computers is approaching our homeland. We will have a hard battle to fight. If you want to win this war, you must first remove your inner fear. I am standing here now, without fear in my heart! why? Is it because I have different beliefs from you? no! I can stand here fearlessly because I remember, I remember that the reason why I am here is not because I follow the path paved by the predecessors, but because I believe that I can create a future that belongs to us! I remember that we have fought against these machines for more than a hundred years. I remember that they have continuously sent troops to try to destroy us. After this century of war, I remember that the most important thing is that we are still alive! Let us declare war on the Robot Corps tonight! Tonight, let this place shake because of us! Tonight, let the earth, steel and stone tremble because of us! Let our cry go from the fiery red underground to the black sky! tonight, We want them to remember that this is Zion! And we are fearless! The reason why this line is uplifting is not only that it gives people hope, but more importantly, it makes people forget or overcome their inner fears. In the face of despair, it is Morpheus' choice to choose to believe that hope will be happier. This fight is more exciting and more Chinese than the previous one. The drag racing scene is also very handsome. Adversity makes people mature, and despair makes people wake up. In this movie, Linio became the real savior, but is it the result of destiny who chose Neo or Neo himself? Those who believe in fate will think that if fate does not choose Neo, then Neo's own choice is useless. It is not that anyone who wants to become Superman will become Superman. People who don't believe in fate will think that there is no fate at all. It is an inspirational story of Neo's choice of self-growth and self-shaping. In this regard, I quote a dialogue between Neo and the Prophet as the end. Neo said: I think the important question is, why should I trust you? The Prophet said: Yes, this is a difficult problem. There is no doubt that you are not sure if I am really helping you. The decision is up to you, you can believe what I say, or don’t believe it, come with a candy. Neo asked the Prophet: You already know whether I will take it? The prophet said: I am not a prophet if I don't know!

The Matrix Reloaded quotes

  • Persephone: ...just a sample.

    Trinity: How about you sample this instead?

    [draws her gun]

  • Neo: I suppose the most obvious question is, how can I trust you?

    The Oracle: Bingo. It is a pickle. No doubt about it. The bad news is there's no way if you can really know whether I'm here to help you or not, so it's really up to you. You just have to make up you on damned mind to either accept what I'm going to tell you, or reject it.
