First and foremost, they cite writer Andrea Long Chu, who laid out the bare bones of this interpretation plainly: "Neo has dysphoria.
The Matrix is the gender binary. The agents are transphobia. You get it. She says that it represents hormone therapy, as prescription estrogen was colored red back in the s, hence how it helped him break free of the symbolic gender binary. D made about the agents themselves, and their verbal interactions with Neo.
Anderson, with a persistent emphasis on the 'mister,'" they wrote, adding further significance to Neo's shedding of his old identity in favor of his real one, rejecting the Matrix's desire for him to adhere to their norms. In August of , Lilly Wachowski added further credence to these claims, telling Newsweek , "The Matrix stuff was all about the desire for transformation, but it was all coming from a closeted point of view.
Neo tells Morpheus that the Prophecy was merely another system of control, and that Zion's destruction is imminent. A group of Sentinels begin to converge on their hovercraft, so that Neo and the others are forced to abandon it and flee.
Neo, realizing that he can now sense the sentinel, stays behind, and is able to deactivate the Sentinels by a hitherto unknown ability. The effort of doing so renders him unconscious. Unbeknownst to anyone, Bane has become caught and infected by Smith.
The Matrix Revolutions begins immediately after the events of the second movie. As a result of his struggle with the Sentinels, Neo returns to consciousness to find himself caught in an isolated limbo only accessible by order of the Merovingian, from which his mind is unable to free itself. He remains trapped until freed by Trinity assisted by Morpheus and Seraph , who threatens the Merovingian in a Mexican standoff unless Neo is freed.
Neo determines, through his new abilities of foresight, that in truth the Oracle's prophecy was correct in that The One was predetermined to return to the Source to stop the war. The Architect, however, altered the prophecy and forced Neo's predecessors to end their path with Zion's destruction and the reloading of the Matrix.
After a final visit to the Oracle, Neo learns it is not the approaching Sentinels that he should fear, but Smith, whose clones are multiplying and threaten to destroy both the Matrix and the real world. Building on the Oracle's previous explanations about the nature of choice, Neo learns that the Architect's assertion that his choice to save Trinity would inherently lead to the extinction of humankind was incorrect, due to his nature as a purely mathematical being. Having told Neo that he now has the power to choose to end the war and defeat Smith, the Oracle then states "Everything that has a beginning has an end, Neo".
Neo must now go to the heavily-guarded Machine City in hopes of stopping the Sentinels and Smith. Neo and Trinity are given the Logos , a hovercraft commanded by Morpheus's former lover, Niobe , in what seems to others as a suicidal journey to the Machine City. Neo, with Trinity as pilot, guide the Logos past the Machine City's defenses, but in the effort the Logos crash-lands, and Trinity sustains fatal injuries and dies.
Neo encounters the Deus Ex Machina, a Machine construct, and offers Smith's destruction in exchange for a truce. The offer is accepted; Neo enters the Matrix to find that the Smith program has copied itself throughout the simulated world, and has turned it into a rainswept dark simulation. One of the copies of Smith, having assimilated the Oracle, has become Neo's equal and therefore becomes his opponent.
Neo ultimately sacrifices himself to Smith and allows Smith to seize victory by finally infecting Neo with the Smith program and turning Neo into a Smith clone. Unaware that Neo is connected directly to the Source, the machines are able to delete Smith, as every clone is seen being destroyed afterwards.
Neo's body is respectfully taken away by the Machines in the Machine City, while below in Zion, the Machines stop their attack and retire in deference to the peace that Neo bartered. Neo then dies, his primary code being inserted into the Matrix which allows it to reboot.
When held, these fragments echoed some of the final thoughts of Neo inside the redpill's mind. Each of the three main post-war political organizations inside the Matrix realized the possible significance of these fragments and began fighting amongst themselves to gather as many as they could.
The Oracle reveals a secret society of exiles known only as the Shapers, who are the only ones able to bring the Fragments together in any significant way and that they must be protected from the impostor agents' corruption. The redpills' distrust and organizational differences prove too much for any strong unity, so that a Shaper fell into the captivity of the false agents.
His power was used to encode some part of The One's being onto themselves, creating the powerful, pale-skinned "N30 Ag3nts". In Chapter 1. This would be the driving force behind Morpheus' descent into fanatical terrorism against the System in an attempt to force the Machines to reveal Neo's fate, ultimately leading to his assassination.
The subject of Neo then fell to the side lines for other struggles until the arrival of The Oligarchs in Chapter 9. The original intruder, Halborn, was notably intrigued by the life of The One and was personally shocked about the implications of Neo's ability to affect Machines outside of the simulation had on his search for what he called "The Biological Interface Program". After Halborn's removal in Chapter 10, little more was questioned until the revelation of the Trinity project, originally headed by The Oracle, in Chapter It was revealed that both Neo and Trinity were actually the culmination of decades of Machine research into translating human DNA perfectly into Machine code, allowing them to interface directly with technology without the need for simulated interfaces.
Neo Encyclopedia Wiki Explore. Wiki Content. Fear pointman. Explore Wikis Community Central. Register Don't have an account? Neo The Matrix. Both of these carefully-embedded titles refer to Neo's layers of pre-ordained duality. Also, Anderson, just like Agent Smith, has an impressively normal, run-of-the-mill name.
When he still goes by this, he's still another anonymous cog in the machine of reality control. And, of course, there's the actual name Neo. In Greek, "neo-" is a prefix meaning "new," just as his character is a new version of himself, looking to help forge a new world. And the meaningful name layers don't stop there! Thomas means "twin" in both Greek and Hebrew, again paralleling how Neo is both his original self and The One.
And, in ancient Greek, "andros" is a form of the word "man. The level of intricacy in The Matrix 's symbolism is astounding, and it certainly doesn't end with Neo.
