Archie's little secret...

I'm not sure if anyone else knows this, but i just realized that the building Neo is in BEFORE he meets the Architect, and the building he flies out of AFTER he meets the Archie, are not the same, or, at the very least, he is on a different level... "What?!" you may say, and i don't blame you...If you look closely before Neo meets Archie, there are doors EVERYWHERE, many, many doors...But AFTER, there is only ONE door, the one that gets blown up... I'm trying to make a clip, but neither my computer nor the internet are cooperating today, but i'll try and post as soon as possible...

Okay, JediHDM, you lost me. Before Neo meets the Architect there’s the programmer’s backdoor, where he, Morpheus and the Keymaker meet Smith. Then there’s THAT door, the second of the two in the 314 time-window. When Neo flies out, everything is being consumed in the explosion, so it’s hard to tell what’s what.

if you slow it down, you can see that there is only the structure of the backdoors, but there aren't any doors there, except the one that Neo comes through...Im still trying to get my computer to let me break up the pics, so that it is before shot and after shot, but so far its winning, though i'll keep trying...

Here it is...

I wonder does the disappearing doors have anything to do with Neo's choice?

The system was ready to be reloaded, hence the missing doors.

Or Neo decided to save Trinity therefore eliminating the two doors by making his choice.

*** I'm reaching for straws here. ***

I love a novel with a plethora of subtle symbolism 🙂

or perhaps that, by Neo touching the SOURCE, neo was transported from one place to another, or that the matrix was starting to be "taken down" because Neo wasn't supposed to come back to the Matrix...

*looking for straws to grasp at...*

I'd say it is(the easy way out) a (a) blooper or (b) Symbolic in that, in scene 1, the choice hasn't been made, and, in scene 2, the choice has been made, therefore all those other choices disappear

i saw that when he flew out it seemed just like frames, not doors..
could be continuity error 😑

Red Texas, that seems possible, but shouldn't we have seen the other doors disappear, rather than just seeing them not there?

But that would make the symbolism too obvious, there's nothing I hate more than an author/writer spoonfeeding the audience the symbolism(scarlet letter comes to mind)...

You also have to remember that the laws of the world still count, disappearing doors would not only make the symbolism sickening, rather than interesting, it would leave question as to the relativaty(sp?) of matrix physics...

True, i will give you that, but symbolism in a five second snippit of movie that no one should notice for all the flames? The Wachowski's do some strange things, but that takes the cake...

Actually, if you look at Jedi's images, you will notice that there is what appears to be a door frame. (Left to right, notice the vertical supports with the holes. The first three have a horizontal cross bar, the fourth does not.)

Additionally, the camera is at a different angle, which might explain it.

Remember too, that just because Neo entered the Architect's room through a certain door, it isn't clear (although I would assume) he left through the same door.

Finally, since Neo did not enter the Source, we could be seeing the beginning of the cataclismic crash described by the Architect.

but thats not even the door neo goes through, but i can show you doors near that one also. and you would still be able to see the door knob, look at the bottom pis, the doors are almost parallel to our view, but we see knobs...

here 🙂

edit: ignore this post

heres those doors again

ok, yes, hello, its me, again (more extreme comma usage)

my question is this - how does neo escape from the inbetween room? without a key or such?

well heres my basic plan for what i think this room looks like, minus all the doors. as you can see ive arrowed on the path that neo seems to fly out. when he gets to [the end of last arrow] he just keeps on flying in a long corridor until he breaks out. can someone please explain this to me 😕

away from archie..
