A fellow friend of mine recently noticed little something about the Revolutions DVD front cover.

Take a look at it first:

LOL, That's awesome. Even if all of the crazy connections and things we find about the Matrix are coincedental, it's still great.

Quote:

Of particular note is the "eye" color change that occurs when a "brainwashed" machine effectively "changes sides" and allies itself with the humans. When this shift in the machine's allegiance occurs, its eyes change from red to green.

This is interesting in its own right, but also for the fact that it directly ties into the Matrix film trilogy. After the theatrical release, the last film in the trilogy — The Matrix Revolutions was altered slightly, seemingly to incorporate an element introduced in Matriculated.

In the theatrical release of The Matrix Revolutions, at the end, when Neo's dead body is being carted away on a barge-like machine, this barge machine's eyes are red, as are the bulk of the lights to be seen in the Machine City landscape.

However, in the subsequent DVD release, the barge machine's eyes have been changed to green, as well as the lights in the Machine City landscape — just as the machines in Matriculated who had "changed sides."

It is also helpful to keep in mind that the change from red to green 'eye' color does not necessarily mean a simple change from "the machine team," to "the human team." In fact, it could be taken to mean a change in the machine's psychological paradigm. To go from a binary understanding of the world (human = enemy, machine = friend) to a more comprehensive open-minded paradigm in which the humans are seen as fellow conscious beings that they can co-exist with. This may suggest that the peace bartered by Neo in the end of The Matrix Revolutions, may indeed last.

This could also be seen as an incorporation of elements of Ken Wilber's philosophy.

Ken Wilber's Quadrant paradigm is alluded to in the design of The Matrix Revolutions DVD cover. And he is also one of the few people Larry Wachowski has agreed to be interviewed by, regarding the Matrix. So it seems likely that perhaps the choice to shift the machine's eyes from red to green may be an allusion to Chris Cowan's color codes for Spiral dynamics memes (possibly more easily described as a person's world view). In this paradigm:

red = egocentric, power, feudalistic

green = postmodern, tolerant, sensitive, pluralistic.
