now that pj finally updated his blog i can write about my matrix thoughts as well. aileen, you have to write it now too. :)

SPOILERS
i totally agree with eric's analysis that neo was like the messiah, becoming agent smith(a sinner) to eradicate the smiths (sin) in the world. well... you know what i mean.

the reason why the oracle, token indian girl, and seraph came back was because they were programs and not people. when you infect a program, it still remains because it has to be physically deleted. that's why only the programs survived. i guess they were "cleansed."

the final battle scene was one of the best battle scenes ever. it looked superb even in the hoky theater i was in... the theater totally sucked compared to what is in the SF bay area.

what annoyed me the most:
- the little indian girl. her purpose was to show that machines have human-like characteristics and have feelings, such as love. but please... i think she was in there because every minority group was in the movie except indians, so they had to put a family in. she was definitely cute, but redundant.

- monica belucci, or more like, lack of monica belucci. geez, she's so good looking.

about trinity's final scene. yes, definitely drawn out and i was saying under my breath, "just die already!" however, i guess if you think about it, it's sad that neo was blind when she died. i think that would suck, not being able to see the one you love when she's dying right in front of you.

i wish there was another fight scene involving the twins from reloaded again. i loved that part.

so when i left the theater, the first thing that came into my head was, "you're kidding me. you're ending it now?" the second thing was, "man, this movie just made LOTR seem so much better already."

end spoiler

final thoughts: i think the script looked good on paper... but the w-brothers don't know how to make a movie based on the idea of love... and they probably needed to spend more time on making this a great movie instead of all the marketing hype with the video game and animatrix. it definitely shows.
