Lines In The Matrix That Mean More Than You Realize

The Matrix movies are so packed with meaning that every line seems to carry some deeper significance. In that spirit, we're looking at some of the most memorable lines from the Matrix films that have more way meaning than anyone realized.

Neo's first encounter with his primary adversary, Agent Smith, arrives early in the first Matrix, before Neo's been clued into everything that's really going on. It's part of an interrogation, in which Smith freaks Neo out with a variety of threats, including this seemingly simple statement:

What the franchise hasn't yet established is that, even though it sounds like Smith is just playing bad cop, he's actually quite correct, at least in theory. We learn later in The Matrix Reloaded that Neo's status as the One is actually a piece of programming. It was implanted in him by the Architect as part of a plan that will allow the Matrix to reboot and preserve the appearance of choice among the human race. At this point in the story, Neo is unknowingly a tool of the Machines and the Matrix, and he won't figure that out until part two.

After Neo meets Morpheus and agrees to take the red pill, he awakens in his pod among the human farm and is taken aboard Morpheus' ship. As he learns the truth while on board the Nebuchadnezzar, he asks why his eyes hurt. The answer Morpheus provides is simple and straightforward:

That explanation is technically true, because Neo's biological form has been locked up inside that gel-filled pod for decades. But his question also offers some interesting foreshadowing for the future of his eyes. The topic comes up again in The Matrix Reloaded when the Merovingian, aware that Neo can now see the Matrix's code, asks:

Then, in The Matrix Revolutions, Agent Smith, while in Bane's body, blinds Neo with an electrical cable, causing intense pain but also giving him a new level of sight. His eyes are useless, but he can still see the energies around him as pure light, which he uses to make his final journey to the Machine City. Keep watching the video to see all the lines in The Matrix that mean more than you realize.
