[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by aneurysm: [qb] With the multiple theories about the multiple Matrix's I thought this point which might add scope to the time span of each of the multiple Matricies... Councillor Hamann says he spent the first 11 years of his life asleep. We can assume he means he was freed from the matrix at the age of 11. Anthony Zerbe (the actor who plays him and interestingly enough, Admiral Matthew Dougherty in Insurrection) is 67 years old according to the IMDB. If we assume Councillor Hamann is the same age, then that means that the current matrix has run for at LEAST 66 years. just a thought. [/qb][/QUOTE]Poor math aside, Morpheus actually stated in his address to Zion that they had been fighting the Machines for 100 years. Which would mean that it has been approximately 500 years since the Second Renaissance, which would put the actual year of the movies somewhere around the 2600's! I don't buy the "Matrix within a Matrix" theory for two reasons. 1. It's a cheep trick and is far too predictable. 2. Know one in Zion remembers what happened the last time around because know one ever survives except "The One" (which puts a slightly more ominous twist on his title). If you remember, the Architect told Neo that if he chose to go to the source that he would have to choose X amount of people from the Matrix to free and start Zion all over again. Zion need not be in the same place every time, there could be four other Zions out there, buried under a mountain of rubble. Also remember what Morpheus said in the first move, that The One who came before freed [i]"The first of us"[/i] meaning that each successive Zion is descended from Matrix escapes, not survivors of the war with the machines. (Which would also explain why they don't know the year, coz they don't know how long the Matrix has been online). Presumably the naturally born humans that we saw (Tank, Dozer, Link) are descendants from a previous generation of liberated minds. [/QB][/QUOTE]
