»Relevance people?«

Really sorry if someone's already started a post bout this, but does anyone know the relevance of the bit where the sentinel flies through Neo when he and Trinity are on the Logos?

Still Very Much Lost

No suggestions?

wonder if anyone actually knows...?

Someone elsewhere suggested code exchanging, but i don´t eat it. Perhaps... maybe... bah!... &$$·&"!#?... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... and that is what i think


"... appearances can be deceiveing..."

I totally agree, not with the code exchanging bit but the rest. I don't think anyone does actually know...

The only thing I can think off is that's it's just BILC. It really doesn't make any sense.

Please forgive my ignorance
What is BILC?

BILC is an acronym meaning "Because It Looks Cool."

Thanks pal, now I know something new

i don't know what the sentinel thing means either. but if it is just BILC...it worked.

I have to admit it does look cool, but it kinda gets people focussing on it and wondering what the relevance of it is, what it means....

Still Lost

The answer is easy: As Neo showed extended superpowers to destroy many of the incoming sentinel it looks that this power is going to save them. But as the sentinels are way too much it is just teaching a lesson:

Even if the power you feel like invincible, it is all illusion: there will be allways somone or something stronger than you. The solution is to find a more intelligent way out, e.g. negotiate.

Everything fits fine when you look for patterns of wisdom.

I think its a little bit weird that Neo and Trinity are on a ship, sent to save the world from destruction, named the Logos. Logos is the greek word for Word. It constantly refers to "the word" in the New Testament, meaning scripture. This scripture has inside it the Trinity, and the savior. Which are two messages in the Scriptures text.
What I find weird is that Trinity dies. Maybe this is symbolic of God turning his back on Jesus, and not being with Him in the time of his death. That seems to be stretching it though.

Well said! But nevertheless, I still suspect the Wachowskies are just using religious symbols to put in more weight ond more spiritual effect.

I guess we all agree that it is not the pure gospel what they are preaching, don't we?

Yep I tend to agree, but WHAT exactly is 'PURE' Gospel anyway?
The Religions that are about are an amalgamation of many old beliefs and ideas dating back centuries....

Or at least that is what people like Another Smith would like to believe.

Ok, so the ancient Egyptian God Osiris wasn't killed and then 3 days later ressurected?
And the so called Lords Prayer, was originally a prayer to the Ancient Egyptian God Amon ? - - Who, by the way was of utmost importance in THE AGE OF ARIES and was symbolised as a RAM...

Wow... you really can buy into anything once you have decided what you are against.

NO, I'm just very open-minded and broad minded... I take everything in to account, I don't BUY into anything...I'm an explorer and I'll continue to explore ALL avenues of possibility.. No matter what...

Well, prove it by not responding negatively to everything I post.

Takes one to know one I'm afraid... You answer with a negative you're going to get one right back....It's a no win situation, you won't look in to the issues that I raise... Unless you want to go read about what I'm trying to explain to you then I'm afraid I'm just flogging the proverbial 'dead horse'.... Sorry Man..

touche`.... I acknowledge that my opinion is biased. Now I encourage you to do the same. My point is, though everyone thinks there opinion is unbiased, none are. Difference in opinion comes from flawed bias.

Guys, i love watching you bicker, but we're gettin a lil bit off topic here, not that i mind so much, but Just-a-Program, you didnt actually provide me with an answer. I asked why the sentinel went through Neo. You answered me with this "Straight Explanation":

The relevance of this is...? And if i'm not mistaken, didnt he destroy the bombs, not the sentinels?

Lost

The Matrix deliberately stays away from answering questions regarding afterlife and the soul. Everything that occurs happens in a state of awareness of only 1 reality, this being the Matrix/Machine worlds.

After being blinded, Neo is able to see things with a "second sight" when he looks at Bane, he sees Smith complete with sunglasses. When he looks outside the ship he is able to see the energy flow radiating (not code.. there is no "gold code" outside the Matrix).

Possibly, since he is able to see Smith inside Bane, what Neo is seeing is the cohesive energy that drives Banes physical body. Having said that, the ghost sentinal could be the cohesive energy of the driving force of the sentinal after Neo destroyed it's body. It was a ghost, like the glow of a lightbulb that follows immediately after you turn off a light.

I mean... isn't it?. You can come up with whatever theory gets to your mind and still be valid for some. And that is the beauty of it. Nobody can and will ever have the whole truth, and maybe our best status is that of free-minded people. Maybe that way we learn something.
