I’ve been heart-broken ALL day! I’m still trying to digest it all.
(Hands Korri a kleenex) I’m sorry, I know I kept saying Neo wouldn’t die. I didn’t think they’d do it. But it was the only way he could find any PEACE.
“What do you want?” Deus ex Machina asks
“Peace.” And he finally got it.
*takes the kleenex* oh i know....everytime i go to eat one of my cookies i see his wee face!!
Kyleh> Yes, Neo did die. When the anti-virus had been shot through him, and the machines unplugged him he didn’t move or breathe. He was dead.
The open question is what happened to his mind/residual self-image, as that wasn’t in the crater.
We see the end scene as IF we were looking through Neo's eyes, but the shot is OF Neo being transported away like a Viking funeral.
