Report

Having been a big fan of Matrix One, I just had to get an early ogle at “Reloaded”. Don’t worry, this is not a review. It’s only an epiphany.

While stuffing popcorn down my gullet I noticed a few points of interest that need to be shared with anyone concerned about the proliferation of Mommies.

The audience at the theatre was about 75% guys. You could say that’s to be expected because the target market for movies like these is all those geeky new wave Walter Mitty’s. They just love that shoot ‘em up slow motion bullet stuff. If you said that you’d be only partially correct.

Digging a bit deeper into the movie’s plot and reaching its essence is where you’ll find the answer.

In the movie nearly all of humankind is laying in soothing sensory deprivation tanks, with weird cables spliced into their spines, their life-energy and imagination being siphoned off to feed the MATRIX. Agent Smith is everywhere- replicating himself in a limitless frenzy and relentless in his pursuit of the last of the free humans. Trinity is a super-babe kung fu chick that looks great in tight leather (I can’t figure how the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost play into it). Morpheus is the ultra cool teacher of Neo. And Neo, he is The One, prophesized to be the deliverer from the numbing hell that is the Matrix.

A quick and easy substitution, trading out Agent Smith for Mommy, is where my epiphany surfaced and should leave all guys with something to fear.

Could the producers of the film (the Wachowski brothers) be playing their own subversive version of Morpheus? Are they sending signals to every guy in America, imparting a message, teaching lessons through the art form of popular cinema? Right under Agent Mommy’s nose and making money by the truckload!

Could Mommy actually be the Matrix?

Watch, contemplate, and be afraid!
