It seems to me that for her, the chief advantage of doing this was an opportunity to complicate

or perhaps even disown the red pill, blue pill meme.

That seems to be based on the evidence, her chief regret from the first cycle of films.

And this is where the conclusion of the film comes in and where I ultimately find it a little bit

unsatisfying. I want to read here

from another review of the film. This one is from Joseph Earp, and it's published by a website

called Ethics.org that I'm not familiar with. Joseph Earp writes, there's hope here too. Resurrection

is among other things a pain to the power of storytelling. Those characters who attempt to dismiss

our ability to spin fictions, chiefly the therapist and the storytelling. Those characters who attempt to dismiss our ability to spin

fictions, chiefly the therapist and the capitalistic agent Smith, who want to turn narratives

into more products to be sold are the film's villains. Its heroes are those who fully embrace

the power of the stories that we spin for ourselves, whether they be video games or complex

narratives about their own past. After all, though it might be bleak to imagine that

the external world is always filtered through a shaky subjective experience, that means our

fantasies are as powerful as life altering as anything quote unquote real. The world is forever

what we make of it. So he goes on and I think this is exactly right, that Neo and Trinity have

given up the search for epistemic foundations. They don't kill the therapist, this is the analyst, that Neo and Trinity have given up the search for epistemic foundations.

They don't kill the therapist, uh, this is the analyst who has kept them in bondage in the

matrix. Instead, they thank him. After all, through his work, they have discovered the great

power of rediscription, the freedom that comes when we stop our search for truth, whatever the

nebulous concept might mean and strive forever for new ways of understanding

ourselves, and then arm in arm, they take off flying through a world that is theirs to make of it.
