The Matrix 101
The Matrix 101 is your guide to understanding The Matrix Trilogy. If you have questions about the movies, the people,
the events, or the meaning behind what you see on the screen,
you've come to the right place. If you're already an experienced and knowledgeable Matrix junkie, you may still learn something
new here at The Matrix 101. Other than the release of the trilogy on HD-DVD (RIP) and Blu-ray (congrats), the world of
The Matrix is pretty quiet these days. Since they completed the Matrix Trilogy, the Wachowski's collaborated on the
fantastic V for Vendetta, and directed Speed Racer, which we cover as well.What's New: - The all-new 2010 Ultimate Matrix Gift List is here! - Totally unrelated I know, but how cool is this  ?- Check out The Matrix 10th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray Book! - Some new thoughts on Neo stopping the Sentinels - Could Morpheus be in on it? Decide for yourself - With a little help from our friends, the symbolism of Seraph is updated - [V for Vendetta] [The Matrix on HiDef]
| Important!
If you haven't seen The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, The Animatrix, or The Matrix Revolutions please rent or buy them
before reading any further. In fact, watch them twice before you come back! This website contains material that will give away many
parts of the story that are better discovered through watching. Additionally, this website contains interpretations of the concepts
behind The Matrix. These interpretations may be commonly accepted by Matrix fans, but it's important to point out that the creators
of The Matrix have revealed little about what the movies "mean"; if there's a purpose to these movies, it's to encourage questions,
not provide answers. It's up to us to develop our own conclusions.

Did You Know?
A reason for the 'sixth' One: In the TV show, 'The Prisoner', which contains similar themes to 'Matrix', the main
character who seeks to be free from the hidden system of technological control which imprisons him is called 'No. 6'. But in the final
episode, the ever-changing 'No. 2' who answers No. 6's repeated question, 'Who is No. 1?' puts the emphasis where it belongs for the first
time: 'YOU ARE, No. 6.' (As opposed to 'You are No 6.') Indeed, No. 6 takes the monkey mask off the figure in the No. 1 chair and sees
himself. Like Neo, the Prisoner's answer to his quest for freedom has always been within himself, as the Oracle so often tells Neo. Thus,
Neo = No. 6, the sixth No. 1, but really, the first One.
