A villian with a French accent
connection between brains and computers via electrodes
an enemy who was "an unthinkably powerful artificial intelligence"
Words like "The sky was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel."
Just think of the green and blue hue in the Matrix / in Zion

As has been explained several dozen times, the Matrix took inspiration from just about everything! Part of its point is that it is a collection of such things.

One of several. Worth pointing out that a computerised virtual world where the rules of that worlkd are created and can be bent or broken by the focussed mind and death in there kills you in the real world as the body cannot live without the mind, and is called The Matrix, is from Dr. Who.

Pay particular attention to paragraph four; the bloodline of the holy grail; Christ is the sixth One in the bloodline!!!
There's so much more here.
In a nutshell; I believe this was the message in the movie. Neo was invented by the architecht and he was to return to the source to re-insert the code he carried (all the info he gathered). He had to take the door to the left because the agent was the last piece of code he needed before he did go to the machines to re-insert the code. This is what happens at the end of revolutions. He's plugged into the source; the code is re-inserted and the Matrix continues. Zion remains under control; content with the fact that the war has ended; with the notion that their christ Neo (invented by the architecht) sacrificed himself for them. So war has ended for the time being (The Architecht says to the oracle at the end of revolutions; "how long do you think peace will last this time" So; it seems that they have a common interest in re-loading the matrix program once it blows out of control. A christ or Messiah is invented; the illusions of choice are presented; war erupts and this measure of control plays out the same each and every time.
'The idea of Neo becoming blinded and then being able to "See" life force is identical to a major plot event in "Dune Messiah", Book 2 of Frank Herbert's Dune. The major character with god-like powers is struck down and blinded through betrayal, only to reveal later that he can still see but in a whole new way.'
why do we have fifteen of these threads? is it hard to just post in the already working thread? if people are looking at that one, then why wouldn't they look at yours if it is in there?
which thread - i didnt see one talking about what i posted originally
"The music to the freeway chase is called "Mona Lisa Overdrive"

this has been in a thread before, and there are at least two of these types of threads, meaning the "moving thought for the matrix" or "what would fit into the Matrix" threads...i do not mean to snap at you, or individual people, but i don't have time to go through each thread when people make duplicates of the same thread so they can "be heard", as if people won't listen to them unless they make their own thread...and yes, i do try to go through each thread, in the off chance that someone says something intelligent in one of them, or something that i did not know before...Im sorry for snaping at you, it was not my intention...
