[quote="ED! Ban #127":e382e]There is no second Matrix. In the scene, THE ARCHITECT mentions ZION and THE MATRIX as two seperate entities. It's there in SLOI's copied speech as well. He says that WITH the destruction of the MATRIX AND the fuck up of THE MATRIX humanity is lost, which would lead one to assume that ZION operates on a seperate level.

Still, the machines ARE in control of ZION, because it's existence is allowed.

However The One is NOT a product of CONTROL but a product of reoccuring "anomoly" - unbalance - within the programming of the matrix that CANNOT be erased, but simply mitigated. So while THE ARCHITECT does exercise a great deal of control here, THE ONE is ALWAYS the wild card.

And other ONE's are referenced earlier in the film by the MERG (French baddie). He talks about NEO predeccers being more respectful and boasts he will out last NEO as he outlasted the others.

And this movie DEFINATELY needs to be seen more than once to appreciate it.[/quote:e382e]

So true.
