for the record.. did u know that the producers of matrix has made a freeway, not a virtual freeway, but a solid mile and a half (i think, not so sure about the exact figure) for the sole purpose of the movie? that's how high-budgeted the film is :D
got this from an email the week Matrix Reloaded was shown... just sharing it with you guys..
THE MATRIX (PART 1):
Current Time Frame in the Real World:
Almost in the Year 2199. Nobody is sure of the date
bacause they lost track of it since the war between
man and machine began and when "the sun died".
History:
Human created robots or A.I. to help them in
everything. When the A.I. had more population than
human and became more intellegent and can think for
themselves, the human destroyed them. The surviving
A.I.s or machines created their own community. And
then the time comes when human and machines got into
battle, no one knows how the war started.
Then the sun died, the source of energy. It was then
that they found out that human is a very strong source
of energy that they need. So in order to
survive, the machines gathered the dead humans and
liquified them to grow a new human and in order to get
the human stay asleep they created a program named
"The Matrix".
The human survivors bore into the earth's core and
created a city - the Zion. They created a machine in
the city that will generate powers that they need to
survive, electricity, heat, etc.
When the humans have known about how the machines get
their energy source, they started to make the force to
free all the humans that was used by the
mahines as "batteries".
What Is The Matrix:
Simply a simulation of Earth. The humans used by
machines as their "Batteries" are put into sleep in a
large tube and their mind is placed in a dreamworld.
The dreamworld is The Matrix.
The Humans who comes in and out of the Matrix
(Morpheus, Trinity, etc):
They are real humans. As the humans grow older, they
continue to evolve. Their minds are stronger and with
a stronger mind you can control or
change the codes of the matrix as you are inside it.
It's like a Text Box inside one of the Forms which
compose a Sofware System. The Text box is the human,
the Form is one of the places inside the
Matrix, and the whole Sofware System is the Matrix.
For example, the programmer codes that the TextBox
should have a Text value equal to "I".
Normal Text Box whould just have a text value of "I",
but with a stronger mind, the text box can change the
programmer's code by it's self and make it's text
value to whatever the text box wants.
That's why Morpheus and Trinity can jump higher
because they can change the Matrix programmers code
about the gravity. They are stronger because
the can change the matrix's codes about strength, and
so on.
The One / Mr. Anderson / Neo:
He has the strongest mind of all humans. He can
really control the Matrix the way he wants it. At
first he doesn't know how to do it but when he was
killed (not really) by Smith by a gun, he was shocked
to know that he can really control the Matrix's Code.
Trinity's kiss was a big help on discovering that he
was not dead yet. When he became fully aware of it,
he woke up and defy's the Matrix's codes about the
laws of physics, so he can make the bullet stop, he
can fly, he is so fast and powerful, and do other
things with his mind that can really change the Codes
of the Matrix. He can even delete a program inside the
Matrix... he deleted Agent Smith.
THE MATRIX REALODED (PART 2):
Situation:
Neo is almost at his full potential. He can now see
the codes around the Matrix, that's why he sees people
as codes shaped as human. He can fly,
he can can the bullet out of a human body, he can do
all stuff that defy Matrix Codes, even getting the
heart to function again.
The Sentinels (squid like machines) are boring holes
in the Earth to reach Zion and destroy it.
Morpheus and the crew wants to destroy the Matrix
once and for all with the use of Neo, and they want to
detroy it inside the Matrix where Neo is
invinsible.
Who Is The Man At Zion Who Tried to Kill Neo:
In one of the early scenes, Agent Smith load himself
to one of the human who is holding the phone and going
back to the Real World. Before the man
goes home, Agent Smith has successfully loaded himself
to the man. So Agent Smith was able to make it back to
the real world inside the man's body. That man was the
traitor who tried to stab Neo at the back.
The Sentinels was able to locate where to bore a hole
to get to the Zion because of Agent Smith. He was
inside Zion and can easily give information of Zion's
location and force.
How Was It Possible That Neo Got Trinity Back:
Since everything inside the Matrix are defined by
programming codes and Neo can modify those codes
because of his extraordinary strong mind, so that
means that he can also modify the code that "a
heartbeat will stop when a human body is badly wounded
and about to die" and he can get the heart to
work again. It's just all simply modifying the
Matrix's Codes.
The Oracle:
She is not human. She is an exile program, a program
that is meant to be deleted and is now hiding. But
that fact is not clear yet since the Architech/Father
of The Matrix said that she is the Mother, everything
she said could be a lie. She said that The One can
destroy The Matrix but it turned out that it was all a
lie.
Agent Smith:
He was reprogrammed/recreated and now has the ability
to load his self (or his program) to other human
brains or other programs. How he was freed by
Neo and how he was recreated may be revealed at Matrix
Revolutions.
The Richman's House:
It is a portal in the Matrix. You can reach different
part/places of The Matrix by using it's door, its like
the Warp Zone in Super Mario Bros.
The Key Maker:
Not human. A program with only one purpose... to
create the key to the source (and maybe all the keys
needed in the whole Matrix).
Summary So Far:
There has been 5 "The One" and everyone was defeated
by the Father of the Matrix.
Everytime "The One" reaches the Source of the Matrix,
He (they) always react the same way.
Everytime "The One" reaches the Source of the Matrix,
The Father redesign the Matrix so that it can always
defeat "The One".
Neo was the 6th of "The One's" and hes ia the only
who reacted differently and was the fastest to realize
what is happening.
The humans need to defend Zion from the Zetinel
because Matrix was not destroyed (It might just
reaload again when the Father is finished
redesigning The Matrix into a better program).
Neo also has a connection and power to the machines
even in the Real World.
(Why? maybe Revolutions will explain it)
