Fascinating how the Wachowskis colored different scenes and characters etc. for intentional reasons...

PS and thanks to Quora, now I no longer* HATE the sequels -- which I had long presumed only came about as a result of the original's huge success, but apparently they were planned (and foreshadowed) from the beginning... read the entire discussion here:

"...While The Matrix was content simply to update ancient myths with modern images, the release of Reloaded reveals the Wachowskis to be attempting something far more ambitious: a synthesis of Oriental and Occidental mythology wholly new to the Western literary tradition..." @ https://web.archive.org/web/20050321140800/http://metaphilm.com/philm.php?id=169_0_2_0

Having layers that add depth only works if you expose them in a way that connects with the audience, there were way too many distractions in the Matrix sequels to allow much subtlety through.

It's been a long time since I've seen the sequels, so maybe if I re-watch them something will click.

This video is DEFINITELY worth the 15 minutes running time. Not just baseless speculations, there is a LOT of actions and dialogue/monologue that seems to point to someone else... someone... more emotional, more ... human.
