Neo - why? Because I relate. The very capable yet very disillusioned recluse with a vendetta against authority. The black and white outlook, and undetered hope (it is the quintessential human delusion simultaneously the source of your greatest strength and your greatest weakness!).
Fav parts? Hmmm...tough one....The majority of my favorite parts are very symbolic, visual, and/or indepth dialogue. Reloaded and Revelations became increasingly visual and symbolic with visual connetions to current culture, anthropology, history, literature, theology, and the like. But here are some of many of my favorite parts highlighting my favorite underlaying themes:
1) Matrix 1 - Neo and Trinity in the car. "You've been down that road Neo. You know where it ends, and I know that's not where you want to be..."
2) Matrix 1 - Morpheus and Neo meet for the first time "The Matrix is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.....Take the red pill and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes...."
3) Matrix 1 - Morpheus and Neo - Neo's first experiences in the real world: "What is real?.....you've been living in a dream world" "I can't go back can I? -- No, but if you could would you really want to?" "I know what you're trying to do. -- I'm trying to free your mind....you have to let it all go fear, doubt..you have to free your mind. -- Whoa!"
4)Matrix 1 - Morpheus tells Neo about the Matrix being a system "The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it."
5) Matrix 1 - Neo and the Oracle - "What will really bake your noodle later is would you still have broken it if I hadn't said anything?"
6) Matrix 1 - Neo and the spoon - 'nuff said. 🙂 "There is no spoon..."
7) Matrix 2 - uhh...Matrix 2? 😛 Neo and the Oracle (always good stuff) "You didn't come here to make the choice.."
8) Matrix 2 - Neo and the Counseler - "Is that why there are no young men on the counsel?"
9) Matrix 2 - Meeting the Merovingian "But if we never take time how can we have time?"
10) Matrix 2 - Neo and Smith - "We're here because of you because without purpose..."
11) Matrix 2 - Neo and the Architect "You have many questions and although the process has altered your consciousness you remain irrevocably human"
12) Matrix 3 - Mobile Ave "Love is but a word, it's the meaning that we associate with the word..."
13) Matrix 3 - Trinity encouters the Mero...again "It's remarkable how simular love is to insanity"
14) Matrix 3 - Neo and the Oracle
15) Matrix 3 - Neo and Smith "You're right it's over"
16) Matrix 3 - Neo and Ex Dues Machina "The program Smith has grown beyond your control"
17) Matrix 1 - Morpheus and Smith - "I had a revelation when I tried to classify your species and realized that you are not actually mammals....There is another organism on the planet that follows the same pattern. A virus....humans are a plague and we, we are the cure."
