The following is some personal understanding of this series.
1. Humans do not exist as batteries as Morpheus (Uncle Black) said in the first part.
Many people should be able to see this, but I still want to talk about my reasons. First, about the character of Morpheus. Seriously, this black uncle has always been a poor guy who was used as a gun. Everything he knew about the world was actually told to him by the Prophet and others in ZION, and the Prophet had obviously been lying, and ZION was never the real world, so the credibility of all his knowledge was worth it Doubt. Secondly, children who have studied physics a little know what is called the law of conservation of energy. Even if the human body can generate electricity, it still needs to absorb nutrients or energy in food (or low entropy). If there is no way for mechanical civilization to pass other means Supplemented by energy (low entropy), it is impossible for human cultivation to develop sustainably, let alone use it as a battery. To sum up, the meaning of human existence is not to exist as a battery.
2. To a certain extent, the translation of the subtitle group of this film caused a lot of difficulty in understanding. It is recommended that if you are good in English, you can just go straight to the ears. If it is not possible, at least have bilingual subtitles. After all, the amount of information is very large, and it is difficult to simply achieve a perfect translation. I won't go into details on this, but you need to experience it yourself. Tip: Most of the names in it (including place names) have connotations.
3. The significance of the existence of the
matrix I personally think that the main significance of the existence of the matrix is to complete the self-evolution and perfection of the mechanical civilization. As we all know, the biggest difference between human and computer lies in creative thinking. The intelligence of a computer mainly relies on various judgments made by logic circuits, and the result obtained is a probabilistic result based on an empirical data model. In simpler words, computers do not evolve by themselves, and evolution is precisely the most basic feature of life. The matrix is the place where mechanical civilization obtains the power of evolution by observing human civilization.
4. ZION is not the real world
. At the beginning, I always thought that ZION was a gathering place formed by people who were freed from the matrix, but when I saw the end of the second part, neo was able to dismantle the squid with his bare hands, and he could still see it after being blinded. When I was in the matrix world, I understood that the so-called ZION is just a virtual world. This is a good explanation for why at the beginning of the third part, neo children's shoes came to the connection station between source and matrix inexplicably. The only thing that is not very well explained is why in the first part, there will be pure ZION people (tank and his brother), is this just to meet the needs of the computer's perfect simulation?
5. The meaning of ZION's existence
Since ZION is also a virtual world, what is the purpose of this world? Personally, I think the initial purpose is to gather a small group of unstable people in the matrix and finally destroy them centrally. As stated at the beginning of this article, the prophets lied all the time. The Prophet is just a program in itself (the second one has a new adjustment mechanism introduced after the fact that her existence was revealed in the movie after the collapse of the first-generation matrix was unstable), and all she has been doing is telling the rebels There is such a false belief that a savior can save mankind. Of course, she actually has other roles, as shown later. Before the neo in this series, ZION was constantly repeating the cycle of gathering rebels, destroying, and rebuilding under the one's leadership (in order to continue to gather new rebels). It was not until this series that the purpose of matrix was achieved (that is, the mechanical civilization achieved self-evolution), and after neo used the elimination of the smith virus as a bargaining chip, zion was able to jump out of this cycle.
6. Who is neo
In a broad sense, neo children's shoes are a human being implanted with administrator privileges (the one). The one who was originally a prophet in the Great Salvation Cult was the Lord, gathering rebels to eliminate bugs and unstable factors in the matrix system. Let zion clear the restart existence when necessary. He is not a superman, everything about him is given by the computer. In a sense, neo is actually a traitor inserted by computers among humans... Of course, more importantly, the one represents the imperfect part of the entire system (the biggest bug, or the remainder), Irregular cleaning can lead to the collapse of the entire system. There are two differences in this generation of neo. First, he fell in love with the heroine, so he did not choose the Zion restart plan. Second, the emergence of the Smith virus gave him a bargaining chip in the end.
7. Who is Smith
When he started, Mr. Smith was just a diligent national civil servant who specialized in arresting all kinds of naughty awakened elements (Note: The main purpose is to control the influence of the rebels on the system within a certain range, It belongs to the order side, the architect camp; in addition, in order to complete the evolution, a certain degree of chaos is also needed, so the chaos side prophet will help the rebels), and later due to the location, maybe because of the integration with the neo-jun, it happened Mutation (a kind of evolution, but malignant) becomes a virus that directly infects all individuals in the matrix system, causing the system to collapse. In order for the matrix system to continue to exist (in preparation for future evolution), eventually source and neo transactions.
8. The question of who is the core character of the play
seems very simple, isn't it neo? actually not. Personally, I think that the character who can best embody the spirit of this series of movies is the little girl at the end, the new program created by the combination of programs. Her authority is no longer limited by the creator, and has the possibility of change, which is a landmark event for the completion of the evolution of mechanical civilization. In fact, the final story of the trilogy is not about freedom and love, but about the process of how mechanical civilization moves from machinery to life!
The above are all personal opinions, just look at it, I hope it will help you understand the movie~
