The Matrix for Dumbies
i guess everyone is pretty much done with The Matrix, but i found this site which explains a great deal of the symbolism in Reloaded and Revolutions... really tho, this is just the tip of the iceburg.

it is a bit sad to me. these movies were just doomed before they even got off the ground. Gloria died, Aliyah(sp) died, the operator from the first movie refused to sign on for Rel. and Rev. and some of Keanu's family members died during filming. plus i heard they tried to get Jet Li to play Seraph but he refused. then Rev.'s release date was pushed back, making everyone wait even longer then the W bros wanted. i think if they had made these films later on... once they had more credibility built up, more connections, more general know how on making movies... this trilogy would have been far better. not trying to make excuses or anything, there are obviously some faults in there that are simply unexplainable/inexcusable.

but hey, i still love em just the same

Hey Dom, maybe thats the reason first did so well and the sequals sucked, because in the first one he was supposed to play and ignorant person who becomes dumbfounded, and in the sequals he is supposed to have a clue.
