[QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [QB] OK... I just finally saw this last night. I was fairly blown away and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. I agree that the Oracle is the "mother" that the architect was speaking of and that he merely scoffed at the title Neo gave her. It would seem that she is there giving her "guidance" for the sole purpose of identifying the current incarnation of The One and eventually bringing him back to the Source. I see an extremely larger metaphor going on here that addresses the very nature of belief. Morpheus has, what amounts to a religion in his belief in the Prophecy and The One. His faith is absolute, but he finds out that everything he has ever believed has been a lie. In the first movie, he was the dispenser of truth, now he has to swallow it. So one of the questions the movie asks is, "What if everything you believe about your existance one day proved to be wrong? What would you do?" In the movie, the Architect is quite obviously supposed to represent God (white beard and suit and all). All the myriad exiled and obsolete programs inhabiting the Matrix seem to represent lesser Gods or Demons as has been mentioned before. Some of these programs even seem to have henchmen programs working for them like the guys that Neo fought in the mansion and the Vampires that Persephone blows away. It's certainly a more complicated set up than we're lead to believe in the first film and it must be set much, much, farther in the future than Morpheus believes if Zion has gone through six 100 year incarnations.
