Matrix Reloaded 台詞

這部電影裡表達了好幾種哲學思想。Councillor Harmann，Merovingian，The Architect，Agent Smith，The Oracle　各自有不同的論述。他們從不同的角度討論這些問題：控制（我們生活在　Matrix　之中），選擇（我們有沒有選擇），目的（生命的意義）。

Councillor Harmann: Because *I* believe our survival depends on more than how many *ships* we have.

Councillor Harmann: Down here, sometimes I think about all those people still plugged into the Matrix and when I look at these machines I... I can't help thinking that in a way... we are plugged into them.

Councillor Harmann: But... it does make one wonder... just... what is control?

Councillor Harmann: There is so much in this world that I do not understand. I have absolutely no idea how you are able to do some of the things you do, but I believe there's a reason for that as well. I only hope we understand that reason before it's too late.

Trinity: You always told me to stay off the freeway.
Morpheus: Yes, that's true.
Trinity: You said it was suicide.
Morpheus: Then let us hope that I was wrong.
（我總覺得上面這段對白有說不出的幽默感。）

The Oracle: Because you didn't come here to make the choice, you've already made it. You're here to try to understand *why* you made it.

Merovingian: Choice is an illusion created between those with power and those without.

Merovingian: You see there is only one constant. One universal. It is the only real truth. Causality. Action, reaction. Cause and effect.

The Keymaker: We do only what we're meant to do.

Agent Smith: But, as you well know, appearances can be deceiving, which brings me back to the reason why we're here. We're not here because we're free. We're here because we're not free. There is no escaping reason; no denying purpose. Because as we both know, without purpose, we would not exist.
[Several Agent Smith Clones walk in]
Agent Smith Clone 1: It is purpose that created us.
Agent Smith Clone 2: Purpose that connects us.
Agent Smith Clone 3: Purpose that pulls us.
Agent Smith Clone 4: That guides us.
Agent Smith Clone 5: That drives us.
Agent Smith Clone 6: It is purpose that defines us.
Agent Smith Clone 7: Purpose that binds us.
Agent Smith: We are here because of you, Mr Anderson. We're here to take from you what you tried to take from us.
[Attempts to copy himself into Neo]
Agent Smith: Purpose.

[after Neo kissed Persephone]
Persephone: I envy you. But such a thing is not meant to last.

Morpheus: If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morpheus: Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tank: Here you go, buddy; "Breakfast of Champions."
Mouse: If you close your eyes, it almost feels like you're eating runny eggs.
Apoc: Yeah, or a bowl of snot.
Mouse: Do you know what it really reminds me of? Tasty Wheat. Did you ever eat Tasty Wheat?
Switch: No, but technically, neither did you.
Mouse: That's exactly my point. Exactly. Because you have to wonder: how do the machines know what Tasty Wheat tasted like? Maybe they got it wrong. Maybe what I think Tasty Wheat tasted like actually tasted like oatmeal, or tuna fish. That makes you wonder about a lot of things. You take chicken, for example: maybe they couldn't figure out what to make chicken taste like, which is why chicken tastes like everything.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Agent Smith: Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this: the peak of your civilization.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mouse: To deny our own impulses is to deny the very thing that makes us human.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cypher: You know, I know this steak doesn't exist. I know that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious. After nine years, you know what I realize?
[Takes a bite of steak]
Cypher: Ignorance is bliss.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morpheus: What is the Matrix? Control. The Matrix is a computer-generated dream world built to keep us under control in order to change a human being into this.
[holds up a Duracell battery]

Entry for June 20, 2006
總算想明白了一個電影情節

在　Matrix Revolution 里，Neo　變成 Smith 以後，後者也沒了。

Oracle 說：“ [Smith] is [Neo]'s opposite, your negative. He is the result that the equation balance itself.”

所以　Neo　變成 Smith 以後，後者也沒了。強酸強鹼互相中和了。equation balance 了。

老子的“聖賢不死，大盜不止”，用這個　equation 理論能解釋通。
