»why is the oracle feeding black crows?«

all i know is that a flock of crows is called a murder.. coincidence? or fate? idk..

i tried searchin other threads about this but yet does not supply and answer

I think Smith can also take over programs, thus also the program that governs the birds.

The Oracle feeds them, so that the birds will notice Neo. Or ever worse: there is code in the food that gives away Neo's position, alarming Smith to come over.

She wants Neo and Smith to meet. It's part of Neo's path.

That's the best assumption I can make up for ya

actually I thought she was feeding pigions... the crows only came with Smith... although I could be wrong.

nope crows

Yep!

It has been my theory for a while now that Smith 'infects' other programs too. By infecting them he is not truly copying himself over them, he just gains control over them.

This has been somehow confirmed with "Matrix Online" where they stated that normal agents and some other programs are still 'infected' by Smith.

That's why you see the wind in the alley at the beginning of M2. I think this is Smith being in control over the program that governs breezes or something.

So if Smith is somehow connected to the birds, the Oracle might be sending out a signal to him in order to let him know where to find Neo.

Well thats a good reason, i like this idea, good thinking MAN

I always interpreted it as the W's foreshadowing the death of both Neo and Smith. The fact that the Oracle is feeding the crows is symbolic of her part in bringing about this fate. She only tells Neo what he needs to hear, she let Smith absorb her, just throwing corn to the crows.

Crows are usually related to darkness and Satan.

It's just an indication that she is calling up Neo's darker side.

Neo has to come to terms with this side (know thyself), so that's why the Oracle wants them to meet each other.

I thought crows were more associated with the plauge, then being considered satanic. They are scavengers, and they are much less intelligent then their close kin the ravens. They would feed on the dead. Possibly just another play on the Smith as a virus/plauge motif. Since Smith specifically mentioned humans being both a virus, cancer, and a plauge. Anyways, were death goes, the crow follows. Which is probably where the idea of "the crow" movie came from, as the crow was to guide the spirits of the dead from this world into the next. And if there is anything that Smith represents, death would definatly be one of them.

Crow symbolism is wide and varied. Check this out:

Thanks for sharing that!

It's linked alot to 'negativism', which is Smith

Reading the posts on the Oracles cookies moments with Neo, I would also agree with the feeding of the Crows a signal to Smith, by amending the Crows program to both Neo and the Oracle are in the area.

Seraph was aware of the program in the breadcrumbs program and that’s why he was becoming nervous of the time the Oracle was spending in the area.

Whilst typing this it dawned on me…Hansel and Gretel…Breadcrumbs to lead back to the origin.

I think this goes to show she dabbled to get Smith to Neos location.

Read the Matrix Reloaded official script: horrorlair.com... , although it doesn't help a lot, it makes it clear that every movement from the crows was intentional and not random.

I cannot seem to open the M2 script (even with your link (thanks for that)).



Is there anychance of pasting that part of text here.

Okay..

Thanks for those

It would say that the crumbs are definatly a program signal to alert Smith of both Neo and the Oracles location.

I am still chuckling to myself about the Breadcrumbs and Hansel and Gretel thing that popped into my head whilst typing.

I'm sure that if you search the forums you'll find Mobil_Ave_Neo saying that Smith was one of these crows, so when the Oracle left he took again the form of a human and the crows were frightened and flied away. That's why he's soooo close to the crows. But I'm not sure if that's valid.. I just inform you about the theories that have been discussed.

Noted, I see numerous theories on the same topic some are fantastic, and make me go 'oh yes'.

I have learnt over the long years I have lived to never say '...and I am right' often I am not.

These boards are fantastic for evolving theories.

Myself, I don't feel that Smith was a Crow, but the Crow due to the Oracles food did inform Smith of Neo and the Oracle.

I think that the Oracle feed the Crows and give Cookies to Neo for Tracking purposes.

At least the Internet cookies that your browser accepts can be used for tracking purposes.

In a previous post I said something about the powerplant looking somewhat like a crop of corn. I also said that neo was the scarecrow who is to scare the crows off from the corn after he gets his intellect..
The crows being the machines and neo being the scarecrow.

Now with that said..
I will go onto the purpose of the cookie..

Also in a previous post I mentioned that the oracles door number is {OO}
OO also stands for the resistences sunglasses..

Ok... cOOkie has an OO in it
so perhaps the oracle implanted some sort of code into neo..
Maybe to watch him, Maybe to protect him, Or maybe to implant some sort of code into him..

Considering that this code is round, maybe the code is actually good for neo.

Also something I might want to point out is that the oracle had to have the cookies cooked properly before she started to talk with neo. So the cookie was vital for some reason...

The reason why I think that it is vital is that..
The oracle was the resistences eyes within the matrix. She saw all that went on in the matrix and all that goes on in the machine world. Ok with that said, I think the reason was to give neo the eyes to see who is was.. The oracle knew who he was.. but neo didnt..
The cookie was just a program that aided neo to believe in himself...
It aided him..

It would seem any food the Oracle shares is equivalent to the Monolith from 2001. Designed to shove you along.

Food & Drink in the Matrix (created by a program) has a very strange effect...Wonder what would have happened if The trio had had a drink in Mervs place?

You still ignore what I posted here: matrix-explained.com...

I have to repeat myself.. Oracle's door number is NOT {00}.

Look for yourself!

Makes you wonder what would have happened to Neo if he had eaten the Candy in M3 when he pays a visit after leaving MOBIL and too boot what would would have happened to Smith if he had eaten one of the cookies that was ready for when he arrived.
