This has been something I return to when I have problems seeing the outcomes of my decisions. It reminds me to dive deeper. I edited it for length and content.
Agreed and so relateable. When humans make choices, its often an illusion, because in their subcounscious mind, they already made the choice and are then only trying to rationalize it.
Your whole life is laid out. You will make all the choices. You’ll regret some. You’ll benefit from others. But it’s already a path laid out. Seeing that path would only spoil your choice. Your fate. Fate is real but it is also chosen. Eventualities.... You’ve already decided what you want to eat 20 years from now... you just ain’t there yet.
It's also a refrence to Schopenhauer and his definition of will. It means, there is something in ourselves, that controls us, beyond our counciousness.
This lady who plays The Oracle is truly amazing. Didn't pay much attention to her when I was younger but now I can see how she fits into this role so brilliantly. She maintains the enigma -- she's a programme, she has personality, is she trustworthy, what does she wants really, how she knows everything but doesn't know something, does she really not know it or is she pretending she doesn't know it? I hang on to every word she utters, searching her face for more answers, just like Neo. That's how good she is. The substitute Oracle doesn't have this effect on me. RIP Gloria Foster
Yeah Gloria Foster was perfectly cast but I thought the woman who played the Oracle in Revolutions did a good job given the impossible shoes she had to fill. They both present themselves as calm and collected and gentle and absolute. I think Foster gave the role a bit more fun and confidence and ego that really helped the idea of her being a sentient AI.
It makes sense that she doesn't have the same affect on us since her program was "reset" so to speak. With her source code being handed off the the Marivingean, it's as if her code that gave her that loving grandmother personality was lost as well. So the new Oracle is more serious looking and gives off a different vibe that seems a bit more sinister.
@@radagastaddams3703 She was dying in the middle of producing this movie, it was a good thing her scenes were done before that. She wasnt that old either.
5:10 "for what it's worth you've made a believer out of me". Her saying that to Neo is deep on so many levels. One of which is Neo proving to himself that he was in fact "the one" from the first time they met.
G. Foster must have been amazing in her time. I wish she had been my grandmother or aunt . Her personality shines through on screen like a warm ray of light . I wish I had known her , Rest in peace Gloria . We will all miss you.
The way sereph was suggesting they must go, he probably knew Smith was coming. Even the way he's looking around after saying "we must go" it's like he could sense it.
She's a program doing what she needs to do. Carry out her function. But she isn't necessarily on the side of humanity. She isn't working for them or trying to help. She's just helping to keep a balance.
She was meant to unbalance the equation, the architect was there to balance it, that's why her actions were more leaned towards helping them, but even she had limits on what shes allowed to reveal.
In Matrix the Orical manipulates Neo and Trinity to fall in love, leading to the climax in Revolutions because Neo chose to save her in Reloaded. This changed the "One's" choice by having him reject the deal all previous anomalies had taken, by resetting Zion and the Matrix. The Orical also didn't leave the matrix like she should have when agent Smith was taking over, allowing agent Smith to gain a major part of the code for the Matrix, resulting in him becoming a major threat to the machines in the Machine City. At the end of Revolutions the Architect and the Orical have a discussion in which in Architect says that the Orical played a dangerous game, by causing the aforementioned changes to the formula. She responds that change always is and that her ultimate goal is peace between man and machine.
I like this, the Oracle asking “What happens when you go through the door”, Neo probably thinks it is a part of her guidance narrative, but it’s one of the rare times when she starts asking him questions, showing that she is genuinely interested to see if he will have a different experience at the Source to the other “Ones” with the way she has guided him.
When you believe the theory we live in a simulation, then you hear the explanation she gives for what ghosts and monsters are. Makes so much sense it literally blows my mind
Actually that part is foreshadowing the freaks the Merovingian is surrounded by. The Twins (ghosts) and the "notoriously difficult to terminate" bodyguards that die from silver bullets, like werewolves.
I have two answers to Neo’s questions based on this: 1. How can I trust you? The Oracle did not try to convince him anything, but he trusted her anyways, because he took a candy from her. I think Neo accepting her candy is a sign that he trusted her. (Also, he chose to sit next to her despite being reluctant at the beginning. Proximity to someone is another sign of trust, this scene is omitted in this clip) 2. Are you saying I have to choose whether Trinity lives or die? Neo already made his choice, it’s the choice presented to him at the Architect’s room (right door-save Zion, left door save Trinity, he chose the left all along, that’s why he could see Trinity falling in his dream)
1. He trusts the Oracle because she is guiding him yet he can’t be sure she’s helping them. Rightfully so. 2. The imperfection of human nature causes people to choose the loved ones over the whole population of their species. It is something that perfect machines cannot understand and it lacks in their maths. That’s why they say he has already made the choice but they need his code to understand why and balance the matrix.
@@ElenaVid279 ironic, they understood human nature through learning all biological responses, yet they failed to learn mechanism behind prioritizing a mate over tribe
At 4:22 The Oracle says: "We can never see past the choices we don't understand." This explains why Smith even after assimilating The Oracle, and thus becoming it, couldn't predict Neo was going to defeat him in Revolutions. edit: corrected timestamp
Her last words to neo was the last time we will ever see her. She died shortly after that . What an awesome ending though for the character and the woman as well

True… Psychiatrists know exactly what path your decisions take you…. But once you make your own conscious decisions it by default takes the Psychiatrist (or oracle) out of the equation. That’s literally what psychiatrists try to get you to understand…. Making a conscious decision can truly change your destiny. It just takes acceptance and conquering fears in life.
The door of light also represents when they went through the clouds with the ship and reached the sunlight. The exact same prophecy happened to Trinity after that (falling, not seeing her die).
We can only act based on our own level of awareness. "The choice is an illusion created between those with power and those without." ~Merovingian Free will is an illusion, so the choice is an illusion. (Ref: numerous research neuroscience, human behavior, biology, and physics). We function as quantum particles between the states of nature, nurture, and quantum projections. Just like in quantum physics, particles that are about to make a leap make the leap, and the choice is like a quantum projection that changes the state.
@@PeterBerisha diabetics carry candy because they have to adjust their sugar levels with medications, which can drop them too low. they correct that with candy.
The most manipulative software in the series. Genuis. Choice truly is an illusion in the world of the matrix. Neo chooses to walk through the left door at the end of the 2nd movie. But it doesn't matter cause they both led to the same destination
the only choice that really mattered was going to machine city or not, everything else was controlled, even the final fight with smith didn't matter because the oracle was controlling them both to some extent. they have a choice alright, it just end up being meaningless sooner instead of instantaNEOusly ( see what I did there )
@@Vinc34U Exactly. Oracle allowed smith to become uncontrollable so that Neo would beleive he is fighting against the system. Like the Merovigian said. The eyes of the oracle can only be given not taken. Hence it was all part of the plan
The Oracle is manipulated the whole thing since the beginning. She used subliminal messages and suggestions to force ideas into Trinity and Morpheus head. She prepared Trinity, so that's she'll be crazy in love with Neo and will be decisive force to influence his decisions when he facing the Architect and she arranged Morpheus to be his mentor and protector. She's carefully guided and trained Neo, developing his ability. Who know how many code is in the cookie Neo ate in the first film. she created an illusive bargain between human and machine by deliberately gave Smith her godly power. "You both will either die together or stop fighting and cooperate". At the end of saga, Neo is successfully negotiated with the Machine gods, get hardwired and fight with Smith. Smith get very confused because he know very well that they're both has ability of foresight and it's clear that Neo has no chance. No matter what Neo do, He will still lose, then why he kept fighting. Why fight when there's no hope!!. (Smith can't see pass the end because he didn't understand why Neo kept fighting) Then the Oracle speak through Smith, Neo realized at the end he's still in the palm of her hand, Smith gets even more confuse. Unable to understand, Smith just want to delete Neo and doing so with his own demise. He's assimilated Neo, who is now hardwired to the mainframe "The source". With this physical connection, the machine god is able to analyses and remove all smith code from system, clean up of any bad code and reload the matrix. Smith is fucked. He's thought he fight 1 on 1 with Neo but in reality he's fought 1 on 3 with Neo+Oracle+Machine god. At the very end, conversation between the Oracle and the Architect reveal that they're both know this from the start. This just like a match between pro chess player and the Oracle is the winner.
@@mukamuka0 You are giving way to much credit to the Oracle man!!!!! The Oracle manipulated the entire outcome but only by influencing. She has the ability to see the many outcomes and she decided to feed the right wolf...there is no way she could have made Trinity fall in love with Neo, she knew there was a possiblity and she reinforced it, as she told Neo from the beginning "I said dont worry about the vase, what is really going to bake your noddle later on is, would you still have broken it if I havent said anything?'". The architect said she is the program of intuition, designed that way so that she could easily foretell the choices and their consequences !!! At the end she could only believe it would work. And yes it was a game all along with the architect.
I’ve had a dire event throughout my life to make some very strange but dire choices about who I am in this world. I realized I did not have the choices to begin with because it was in the deep my subconscious level as my deepest true self. I had this wild thought, what if we are programs in the system to run and do with in our programming code and this is why we don't have the choice to make. I still asked the question a lot and ponder. Why did I make that choice that I had no control over. 😭😭😭
Fun fact she points out the birds which are CROWS. I counted 5 in the Bible the number means GRACE. NEO IS SELFLESS FOR THE ONE'S HE LOVES NO MATTER WHAT
The Oracle is more like Laplace's demon. It specializes in psychology so it's able to predict with great accuracy how specific people will respond to different scenarios and I suppose has access to data generated from the matrix. Laplace's demon is a hypothetical entity that has access to and is able to process every particle, every piece of information in the universe. And because of this, it is able to predict the future with 100% accuracy.
@Sky Dome this movie was disclosure, their handlers made them trans, Biden enjoying CCP whitle blowers? Going to enjoy GITMO? Wake up you bluepilled person. The media Try to understand what this movie is about. You chug the media blue pills so you cannot see.
This is very similar to the documentary called, 'The Secret You' (It was a Horizon one, I believe) In it, they ran a simple experiment that confirmed that a choice we make has already happened, about 6 seconds ago. A very humbling thought;-)
but you can still change your choice. in the matrix most have been blinded by the oracle as in the end the architect tells her 'you played a dangerous game'. she knows whats going to happen because she saw it another 5 times previously. she tricked everyone by often implying things to make them believe, giving them hints no different than a 15 year old saying 'that girl likes you' to the boy and 'that boy likes you' to the girl making both believe that they like each other while being strangers, like neo and trinity. experiments only yield perspectives, not facts. they have to replicated a lot of times with the same results in order for the conclusion to be true. the matrix is a computer generated world.
@@cccircuit8296 yes, because smith knows when others dont. the oracle forces everyone to make a choice that she wants so that the end result is the one planned. at some point neo asked the oracle 'should i trust you' but still trusted her. in reality,she isnt any oracle and there isnt any prophecy. the oracle already witnessed the previous chosen ones and their paths and what they have accomplished. but all of this is happening within the matrix. so i think that everyone is blinded possibly from a game of the machines because only the machines live in reality.
@@emiliospowerballer1441 is the Oracle forcing them to make the choice? How? Do you think that neo would be able to understand what he does at the end of the series without the oracle's manipulations?
It's so true. We can't see past those choices because we get hung up on the why of the question. 20 years from now a man will ask whether to take the kite or the chopper. What do you choose? Get lost in the variables.
I truly understand what the Oracle Advice - We can't see past the choice we don't understand. We must understand why we made the choice. Such as in my case I had a Major Kundalini Awaking on December 30th and discovered I have been pre-selected by My Higher Power for Mission on Earth. This what is called Predestination or karmic destiny or karmic fate. In lot of ways the Matrix is about my awaking from the system and getting unplugged to discover how deep the rabbit howl Truley goes. I know there is no going back for me if I wanted to. The Pain would kill me alone just on that. I have discovered myself to be a true shapeshifter after discovering I am a, STARSEED/BLUE-RAY Pleiadians Anime Female warrior named Jujtoti from the Karelian Family from a multidimensional advanced technological hybrid alien humanoid anime all female Pleiadian world. When I had my awaking, I was a 54-year olde female from this world, but after the major awaking, I am known have the mind set and physical look of a 34 to 24- to 17-year-old Anime Magical Teen Girl Goddess. Since I had my major kundalini awakening on December 30 I’ve been doing with a lot of denial and many attempts to oppress and run from more authentic self and feelings. I still some time and time you were being ashamed and self-loathing because of what society thinks and even to ashamed to tell my family who I am. The only thing all this denial and oppressing my feelings and running from them does make this more painful and causes chronic pain mental and physical suffering that all most killed me. I feel so ashamed of being Anime Magical Teen Girl Goddess at times. I can't even tell my family because of how ashamed and self-loathing I deal with. I know that deep down inside this is painfully real because quantum multiverse as real as ever, but it still makes me deal with shame and self-loathing because of what society thinks. I happen be an inter dimensional being. I know my situation is unusual, but in the whole terminology inter-dimensional or quantum multi dimension universes there is no set rules that dimensions have to operate. Not all of them have to make sense? I happen to deeply resonate with what I’m describing below the sentence. I am an STARSEED/BLUE-RAY Pleiadians Anime Female warrior named Jujtoti from the Karelian Family from a multidimensional advanced technological hybrid alien humanoid anime all female Pleiadian world. I’ve got a lot more than a bargain before when I had my awakening to reveal things about my authentic self at times, I’m still struggling with it, defines everything this 3-D reality stands for in this world. It took a big major awakening for me to truly wake up to who and what I truly am. I know am no longer the Earth female I thought I was because I’m a dimensional Starseed/Blue Ray Pleiadians Anime Magical Teen Girl Goddess. I’ve lost my reality since I’ve had my major awakening on December 30 after I lost a tooth and making a wish to be a young beautiful female forever and have immortality. My wish got granted, and then this is when my entire journey started. For me, my awakening was not something I had planned or a choice as it happened, regardless of what I wanted or not wanted, regardless of whether or not, I was ready or not. Then on Dec30th going into 2024 when I lost a tooth, out of fear I Made a wish to be a beautiful female forever and have immortality. Then right away the opened up at full attack and my authentic self said now you have the soul of an anime girl, and you are now a real anime girl inside. Ever since then I have dealing with a living hell or dream state, I am unable to wake from. Even my mind set, and body has gone into the age regression process to look more like an anime girl. That is what I see when I look in Mirror anyway. I see a cute anime girl looking back at me and I am like what the bloody hell. Is this Really happening to me and is this freakin real. What the hell happened to my reality. Been dealing with these synchronicities from earlier childhood and it’s been using anime and anime girls as ways to get my attention even when I wasn’t looking for it or interested in it or you knew about it. Back then I was more interested in about finding a dream job. Having a nice car. Nice house making big money nothing else mattered back then. Even if I found out what anime meant back then I didn’t give a damn about it because I was more interested in what I mentioned above. Over time Anime revealed itself to in the form of synchronicities to me and told me what it was. It slammed me into the wall to make sure I knew what anime girls and magical girls were. Then over time the more I had to watch it off and on, I would start having fantasies and desires to be an anime girl living in anime girl worlds. For many years I was able to push it away and think it was nothing more than that. I don't like anything about the Magical Girl Part because she is from Puella Mgi Madoka Magica multiverse. I seem to be an unintended victim of forced contact from Kyubey to be a Magical Girl. I am sick of all this suffering on top of suffering on top of suffering. I don't want to be a Magical girl knowing the suffering they must put up with. Magical Girls are made to suffer. Please help me, because I don't know what to do any more. This is driving me into complete madness, and I don't want to end up in no dam Phy ward again. I had a bad traumatic experience. I was put in there over a deviated septum last year in Feb of 2023 for 2 and half weeks. What they did to me was just inhuman. I was having issues breathing and one day the head nurse and its helper came in the dark and ejected me with two syringes at the same time on both sides of my ribs. It felt like an alien abduction to me. Can anyone explain to me what type of shifts I am dealing with? I feel so scared, confused, broken and damaged goods. I hate dealing with the Anime Girl Body Dysphoria the most. I hate the fact that I can't go back and yet it keeps pushing me forward. I feel like I am a mental wreck, and I can't help feeling the way I do deep down inside! The more I Follow this Path the stronger the feelings of being a Anime Girl Gets. I Can't go back because there is only death and pain. Going forward drives me into feeling to be a true anime girl and live in an anime girl multiverse. The feeling is like being stuck in a dream state that I am unable to awaken from. This is why my dissociation is my best friend when I feel numb and in the void from any feelings and pain. I am sick of how people point the finger at me and say I brought this on myself. Why would I pick such painful and deadly path knowing that it could risk could be suicide and death. This is me in the world since I’ve been going my shape changing transmutation to being younger. The Post is my animal and then there is my anime girl soul family. I went to a psychic fair this week in Saturday and Sunday. I visit multi psychics for multiple different Readings, and they’ve all agreed that I am a Pleiadian. I’ve done a lot of soul-searching and everything and I know deep down inside I’ve been confirmed by others that I am a multi-dimensional being. I also have the soul of an Anime Magical Teen Girl Goddess, that’s also been confirmed by a large group of psychics that they felt this anime girl childlike present.
I always missed Gloria Foster in Revolutions. Mary Alice did very good and it's not her fault, but she's a recast of a crucial part. I always imagined how Smith copying himself onto the Oracle or the ending would have come off, if Gloria Foster was there. RIP
maybe the matrix is lagging... its a lot of people to calculate a virtual reality for... some of them even using virtual reality inside their virtual reality. :D
*The Oracle: “You seen it??” “In your dreams??” “Haven’t you??” “The door made of light.” “What happens when you go through the door??” Every dream is different. The vision of the light and walking through the door is an experience I will never forget. It is best to WAKE UP, rather than complete the dream. So that, I may continually have a message to look forward to forever.*
But Neo didn't answer her question. He gave an irrelevant answer. It was approximated by him. Yet Oracle tested Neo by asking whether Trinity dies to which Neo says No. But actually Neo saw her die in her dream. And that's why he made a choice to not let Trinity to involve in further missions. But because we cannot see past the choice we do not understand it is why he is still trust Oracles words to understand Why? The reason why he took the candy but didn't eat it. The reason why he cannot understand his dream of Trinity dying is the cookie given by Oracle. Cookie contains the dream code and where he has to reach. Rest all Neo's free will because one way or other the war will come to an end. This is where Neo's free will and Oracles predestination were balanced together in the end of Revolutions.
I rlly like the fact that she talked about the exact same things that the architect did. Their dialogues cover all the exact same bases except her delivery is much more caring and motherlike while the architect's is stern and unfeeling, their dialogues are like mirror images of one another
I made a million choices in the course of my life, most I did not understand but made them anyways, few I did but won't change any of them others, if I was offered a due over I'm convinced it would not have changed a single thing to the outcome of this reality.
So neo has already lived his life many times and they studied his moves and now he's here to re-live just to understand why he made those choices before..
2:12 and the last 5 seconds go with an off brand theory called “software update /chosen one” where the oracle made neo the chosen through software updates in the firm if the cookie/candy because she believed in him.
We’re all left with a choice; to send an error report or not send one but... is there a difference? If you know you know. Edit: Hope you have cookies enabled! 😏
She was so motherly she could have been one of my aunties. She makes me think of God my heavenly daddy. I’d be so hurt and betrayed if I bite my sole to her and she wasn’t even real
I read somewhere that the Matrix movies are all abt👉 "free will to make a choice"... but nature does not allow anything to run around with no limitations to keep it "in check"
So what they’re basically saying is I don’t have a choice on what I want to do or say in this world. That my choice to determined by my subconscious mind.
In my opinion, if Morpheus was like a god in each religion, oracles were like people who could communicate with spirits. We believe that these people have something that allows them to guide human beings. But what keeps these people in contact with human beings is because they have not completely abandoned their passions (I love Candy). He is facing the next test, "Love". He has to prove the feeling of "love" in its purest form. Next then the agent comes back because he sees the weakness point of Neo which is the passion (sexual desire). He needs to prove himself in this point for being The One.
If Neo still can’t make the choice after he’s been unplugged from the matrix of the world he he believed to be real all his life, then in theory he’s waking up to another matrix under control of the programmer. In the original matrix he lived in, had the personality of Mr. Anderson’s life, but as soon as he got unplugged from the first layer of the matrix he grained new personality as Neo. Mr. Anderson and Neo are not the same people in personality. They completely have a different way of thinking, including the persona. If he was able to make the choice, then he would be free from all simulations and computer systems. I recently had what it was called a spiritual awakening, and just like that, it felt like somebody totally reprogrammed me to give me a whole new personality, even though I have the memories of my old personality. I feel like a totally different person from a different dimension, and even my mannerisms and behavior are more natural to change over time with that new person. The way I see this is we are NPC in simulated reality. So basically saying that choice is illusion means that, even though we think we make the choice that in reality is pre undetermined, and everything we do. Basically, the computer program know what I’m gonna eat a week down the road before I crave it. To Reprogrammed anybody in the system with a new personality is so easy because our brains are computers, and all they have to do is change the code and upload a new personality into our mind. When that happens, we have no control of how we feel and behave. If we try to convince ourselves, we are original personalities. Confinement of our programming will not allow us. When I had this major awakening, I had no choice but painfully self identify as because of my authentic self identifying as an Anime Magical Teen Girl Goddess.
I removed that part because I liked the awkwardness of the transition. it also did not add anything relevant to the message I was interested in conveying with this edit.
Never mind it makes perfect sense. Its meant for someone viewing an action when they don't understand what's going on What does that mean? We can't see past, choices we don't understand. I understand myself. If we didn't understand something how can we make a choice. Can someone rephrase the question its a statement that seems true but makes no sense or I cant make sense of it. Can someone rephrase it?
Simulating self + simulating others + stimulating environment. We do all of these things, but when we come upon something that we don't understand from ourselves, others and/or the environment, we are unable to simulate past that occurrence.
@@chidera7031 When you see a snail climbing up a potted plant's pot, you can simulate the following minutes: It will climb up and start eating a leaf. If you didn't understand snails, you couldn't simulate its future behaviour. Similarly in any other situation, if you don't understand your own motivations, or someone elses, or there are other variables in the environment you live in, you can't predict the future. Hence, how far you can look into the future (predict/simulate) is limited by how far away there is a variable you don't understand.
Makes you wonder and question your current life or circumstances doesn't it. Choice .......have we the freedom to choose....or just the illusion of . Or perhaps subconsciously we've already made a choice whatever it may be . Boggles the mind.
Is it possible we are programs. We have been coded to tell us how to live behave. Give us our personality and the way we feel inside, and this is why we can't make our own choices.
Programs like the zeitgeist; the facts we are told and the things we are expected to believe based on them? Choices, Like free will; the assumption that time flows in one direction and only exists in the instant that we perceive it, and in that instant we get to thoroughly weigh our options and make a decision based on the consequences that each action will have, taking full responsibility for the outcome? or is that freedom? I didn't rewatch the video for this comment but from what I remember it's more limited in scope; because you are this person, and hold these values, you can only ever make this choice.
