Hello people!
Today was the first day of the film here in Brazil!
And of course I went there to check it out! Very good!
Well my question is about a man that comes to talk to
Neo, when everybody is going out of Zion.
He cuts his hand and asks Neo to hold it.
And then we can see that he was the only one who survived
in Zion.
Can you see any connection about these facts? I did not understand why he did that with his hand and asked Neo to hold it.
That so-called "strange guy" is, I believe, actually the man whose mind Agent Smith took over while he was in the Matrix. Remember the part? It's towards the beginning...two of the guards are getting ready to return to the real world; one of them picks up the phone and goes back, then the other sees Agent Smith and calls him "Uncle" or something, and Smith sticks his hand into him and lets loose all these silver threads that make the guy another Agent Smith. That Agent Smith smiles and uses the telephone to exit the Matrix into the body of the guy who it was before. Smith (now in the other guy's body) gets the knife to kill Neo; he's only stopped when one of the people Neo saved brings Neo that spoon. (I'm not too sure why he cut himself with the knife beforehand, though). Then Smith (still in the other guy's body) is the only one who survives the slaughter of the ships that are defending Zion; I think he's also the one who set it up so that that particular mission would fail.
Hope that helps.
Thank you very much!
Now I could understand!
Helped me a lot!
.........to add on that, that guy's name is Bain and he is on Ballard's crew. He, as mentioned, was taken over by Smith when he entered Zion and the reason he cut his hand was because he was fascinated by being in a human body and cut himself to sense the vulnerabilty of what it is to be human. 'The Kid' called out to Neo right before he was able to attack Neo and to play it off, Bain pretended to be there simply to wish Neo well and shake his hand - you'll notice tha eerie sound effect as he turns and walkks away - the same sound that occurs when Agent Smith enters a scene.
maybe he cuts his hand to check the sharpness
he might have also cut his hand in hatred or for neo or to pass something onto neo:mad:
maybe he cut his hand to feel pain for the first time.....Smith is in the Matrix can't feel pain...
maybe he cut his hand to see if he would actually bleed, to see if he was actually out of the matrix
you never know
you're exactly right, smith cut his hand to feel pain for the first time. agents (along with most programs) are programmed not to feel pain, this is why the twin that morpheus shot in the arm simply zapped in a new one, without much thought of the old one. smith was facinated to feel pain for the first time.
