»A Look into the big Neo ending...«

when i watched revolutions the other day i noticed..

1. neo isnt dead because at the end it goes to neo vision as he is being carried away

2. what if the power of the architect is limited only to by being able to balance things when neo became smith the "equasion" was imbalanced so the architects power destroyed smith in order to balance the equasion

the latter is indicated by what the oracle says
that the architects job is to balance the equasions
i dont know how to explain the architects powers atm i guess if he was hidden in his room he might have been ok
or like the oracle he took over the smith temporarily

Nah...that could be like "Neo's last sight" as in "the last thing he sees"

heres a thought:
Should Zion ask Neo's body, Neo's brain or just the file Neo_TheOne.backup.?

Nah. For all intents and purposes, Neo the man is quite dead. If Neo does not die for the cause, then the symbolism, as well as the significance of his effort is heavily diminished. Now, in terms of "escaping eternal death," achieving immortality or enlightenment, or whatever high spiritual level, Neo has done that. But Neo the man... he's dead as a door nail. That body they drag off is not going to twitch or move for all to see... and if it actually does, it won't be anytime soon.

They show the "Neo-vision" to give viewers one last look at what can be seen through that vision. It's a golden, majestic place. There's probably more to it as well, but I'm pretty sure that "Neo-vision" wasn't a hint of Neo's survival. He sacrificed himself for man and machine. He held up his bargain of the deal and asked the machines only for peace, a term that has both tons of meaning, but is also quite vague. If Deus and the machines had wanted, they could have been quite vile and simply said no. But there was power in Neo's decision to come forth, as for nothing more than a cease to war, and then laid his life for everyone.

Neo and Smith already balance the equation. The architect did not have to balance it at that point. As to "how" the Architect actually goes about balancing the equation, we're not really shown. But I like to think that the final battle was really in Smith's and Neo's hands. The Architect, etc., were only spectators or captives in the whole mess. Deus ex Machina was but a great observer. It was up to Neo to make the choice of whether to allow Smith total control of the Matrix, or sacrifice himself and start over... giving everyone a second chance.

Least that's how I see it.
