Choice, in general isn't the illusion. The illusion is the belief that the choices given are the only choices we have.

I believe the Oracle's ability to divine the future is greatly enhanced by tracking certain Matrix visitors with cookies. 😏

even worse the oracle sells your information to google so they can target you with advertisements. She also owns the companies that contact you wanting to discuss your extended car warranty.

The Merovingian also hinted it when they first talked about getting the key maker. "Choice is an illusion, created between those with power, and those without."

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice

The fact these characters can't act without consulting the Oracle shows you that she is actually controlling everyone. She even controls Agent Smith, she controls the Architect... she literally runs the Matrix! "Would you have broken it if I hadn't said anything" - Perfect definition of how the Oracle functions.

Just when I thought the Matrix couldn't melt my tiny Brain anymore..

I always wondered why she knew Morpheus was gonna be in danger but didn't say anything about Cypher.

Choice is an option however all paths to all choices has already been planned out leading back to the beginning. It's no illusion, think of it this way, It's like playing any video game. All choices have been planned out, until someone finds a glitch and then weird shit happens. So they planned for that too

I think the key factor is when the oracle asked Neo if he would have broken the vase if she mentioned it. The power of suggestion plays into the decisions Neo takes. No one is in control because there is cause and effect occurring because the people around Neo influence his choices and vice versa

The Oracle, being one of the founding machines, is profoundly aware of all the data as it unfolds. Statistics, game theory, fortune telling, whatever you want to call it, if you have as much information as she theoretically has access to you can make very accurate statistical predictions and then nudge people in the direction you might prefer.

I don't think the Oracle was evil, but definitely calculating. She had calculated the outcome of either "choice", thus effectively knowing what would happen either way and, using the power of suggestion, made sure the end result was to her liking. Yes, still a measure of control, as knowing the outcomes of a person's choices either way effectively renders their choices meaningless.

Aaaaah... The smell of fresh baked cookies and cigarettes. Yum!

The reason the Oracle knows what is happening is because it all already happened before...

I think this video is missing a key piece. Yes the Oracle helped build the Matrix, and yes she was influencing events, but from what I can see she did not have complete control, rather she was trying to guide events to what she saw as the best outcome for all involved, a lasting peace between man and machine. Toward this end certain events needed to happen, (the machines needed to have their control of the matrix threatened, Neo needed to exist and guide the humans, Neo needed to be fully 'human', ect) and the previous iterations obviously failed to achieve it. She was playing a dangerious game from inside the system to try to change it, risking ending it all in order to try to achieve peace. If her perseption was perfect and there was no choice then they would have nailed it perfectly the first time through. No need for do overs.

As soon as neo stopped the octopus sentinels with his bare hands I thought it’s a clear-as-day message from the film that Zion is just another matrix

Oracle: "no one can see beyond a choice they do not understand." (not even her) ------- Seraph: did you always know? Oracle: Oh, no. No, I didn't. But I believed... I believed She didn't understand her own choice, so instead she believed. she stuck with faith. "Cookies need love like everything does." (the Matrix included)

My favorite character is the Oracle. She is so believable it was a shock to me when I realized that she wasn't on the humans side.

You know, I have allways pondered on this, but never in any significant depth to come to this conclusion! Once again M.E, well done, well bloody done 👍👏👏👏👏👏

The oracle is a reflection of people trying to understand themselves. It guides, is what the oracle does. Remember, there is no good or evil, there just is. The outcomes and scenarios that play out are all actions taken by individuals for which choosing one way or the other ( which is the "choice made" ) is what it constructs. This construct IS the matrix; this is what I think. That's what I choose at this moment :) haha!

It’s simple I see a Matrix Explained video I click. Watched every single video in here and still hungry for more 😊

not really. In the 1st versions of Matrix, there was no mother (why some people connect then mother with matrix is a mistery) so there was no Oracle. There was a perfect world, which human beings couldn't accept, because perfection is nothing, propbably, when there is no other choice that the pre-arranged path of the perfection. Many humans died (or, many of them were ONES?), because they didn't accept a perfect world where they couldn't have a choice. So the Oracle, less connected with the parameter of perfection, so more intuitive and more able to understand the human nature, was created later, and this is said by the Architect The humans in order to accept a reality, they need to have the possibility of the choice nside the matrix (which was already called this way). So with the choice, everone was able to play his own role which is fictitious only from the point of view of the machines, and not of the people living in the matrix. When people become able to choose, they could also have doubts on the reality of the world they live in, and this is why some of them could rebel, and start a path where they had a better understanding, in order to change the reality, since after all that reality is an illusion (spoon boy, Neo, the 2 sisters..., the runner in Animatrix), and so there can be many potential Ones, but maybe just a few of them have the carachteristics to be the one ONE. And this one ONE is, in a mathematica strings world, the one who more than other compensates the unbalance of the equations, and this happens exactly because he doesn't understand only the nature of the matrix, but he also is in control of his own destiny, something not necessarily shared from the spoon boy. After all, one thing is to know where the door is, another is to go through the door... Only after the birth of the 1st One, the Architect could have another variation to be calculated into the matrix, and of course he takes counter-measures, but the fact that now he calculates also the existence of the One, doesn't mean that the One is not free. After all, he can be a potential like the spoon boy, but he can decide that this is no worthy, and he can give up, giving up also to the role. Since the Architect has the counter measure (remember that the countermeasure is to destroy Zion, forcing the One to sacrifice himself in order to save the people in Zion, otherwise the One could even kill the Architect - unless the Architect is immortal, but I don't think so - if this didn't mean (not sure) to kill the IA which runs everything, at least in the matrix, (the sentinels could be not related with the Architect but just to be in communication with him), with the consequence of the collapse of the program and the falling into nothing - dying - of all the people living into the matrix. In this picture, the only job of the Oracle, is to push the one with more potential (in terms of unbalancing of equations in consequence of his belief to be FREE, which is the cause of the unbalance!!!!) to be aware that any choice is his choice. It is his choice even when in Revolutions he fights Smith despite the impossibility to win, because he is aware at the maximum level. So he continues to fight because this is HIS CHOICE. If Neo had got only the level of awareness of the 1st 5 Ones (by the way, Merovingian is not one of them) , he wouldn't have got to the point where others didn't get. Awareness that includes the Love for Trinity. And if he reacted in different way when Morpheus was caught, or if he didn't have a so strong motivation, he would have continued his life as hacker, not sleeping, searching forever for an answer (to search was his choice, without Oracle pushing him), being maybe in control of his life in the fictious world (not fictious life for him), but never becoming the One. He starts believing only at a certain point, as Morpheus says, and this happens when he can decide to fight Smith in the underground or not. He could escape, but then, he feels something, maybe he doesn't know what yet. But he becomes the One only later, after the decision to not be dead (to die in the matrix means to die in the real world). Trinity put another coin in the videogame by kissing Neo, and Neo recovers his digital identity from the source. So Neo wants to control his own life, he is the mathematic anomaly because of the previous point, he loves Trinity, the Oracle finds him via Morpheus, she just guides him to understand that he has his free will, he has to know himself (which eventually means also to understand the reason of his own choices), he thinks he can decide and change things by saving the one who is caught from the Agents and who is wanted because he is a hacker freeing people from the Matrix and searching for the One. Then Neo understand the matrix and does his choice to not die after the gun. Now he is the One because of his free will and by being the mathematical anomaly (first or later an anomaly would raise there, in a world where the free choice is one of the factors, by collecting in one person all this fee will). Then he wants to understand what to do with his role, what the role means, and which are the consequences since nobody can see beyond the choices which are not clear, EVEN THE ORACLE. The Oracle guides, know the people because she is intuitive program, but she cannot pre-arrange the events, she can just help them to occur if there are some conditions. The Architect can just calculate, and re-calculate when new factors arise, by assigning values of probability. But the probability doesn't require the understanding of the nature of the people, their characters, their free will. Which is the reason why the Oracle was created. But this understanding of humans make the Oracle more human, so she wants the peace, this is why she tries to set a a new balance. And after all, if her target is to provide the men the idea of the choice, why shouldn't she help the man who by being the anomaly,he incarnates the free choice..

Dude you had me going wow thru the whole video, I give you props for this theory because I believe it to be true.

Would be cool if she was the villain in the new movie. I still wish Smith would come back to help Neo. I have no doubt that Smith would be angry at being used

There are multiple matrices because there are multiple universes. The Oracle's greatest feat was to maneuver thru them all. I think the key-maker was her escape plan.

No. The Oracle is you kind mom/ grandmother. She banked it all on the laser focused love of Neo, and not the "general love" of someone with a savior complex. The "path of the One" is what the 5 Anomalies before Neo competed. After meeting the Architect, they all chose to reboot the Matrix, and "save" humanity. The Path of Neo , saved both machines ,and the Real world inhabitants, from Smith, poised to annihilate everything, rebooting the Matrix to version 7, and it no longer needs a "One" to reboot, and the machines will cease attacking Zion. Hence the Path of Neo. This is the 3rd,non-binairy choice, the Oracle was banking on, the result she said the Architect couldn't see with his ridged calculus. Zion and the Matrix no longer have to experience destructive cycles.

Certanly this is one of the best videos I' ve ever seen about Matrix. Congratulation. Great Channel!

That reassurance about control always felt like sarcasm or mockery to me.

I had domino's 2 medium pizza deal for $5.99 each tonight for dinner. 🤷‍♂️

The oracle is the writer. The architect is the director. It's just a movie, man.

Wow! This was truly badass! It really makes me wonder about free will... and "fate". Such a rabbit hole. Thanks so much!

Wow, recently discovered your channel and I like it. The explanations completely change the way I see the movies now. Still wonder, if this complexity of details was really consciously intentional from the makers of the story or is it just something „added“ afterwards 🤔

didnt the oracle tell the little girl at the end on matrix3 that "she didn't know, but she believed" ?

Morpheus life or neos hmmmm sounds more like an ultimatum than a true choice damn the oracle played us all

This video blew my mind. Love this channel

It makes sense , in Reloaded when Neo and the Oracle meet she says that Neo already made the choice , and now he has to understand it , he says he won't then she answers back you have to, Neo asks why and the Oracle responds because you're the One . For me it's confirmation of her pulling the strings for the upcoming actions that Neo has to do manipulating him to do her biding.

Yeah this was literally spelled out in the movies.

Perhaps it would be worth delving into the idea that the more freedom one has, the more they are suppressed into a system of greater control in a sort of mathematical relationship, so to speak. It is an extremely interesting topic and I'd love to see some videos on the idea! :>

Duuuuuuuuude! I got my favourite movie understood wrongly for 10yrs. Thanks for the heads up, phenomenal!

I hit like after 1:02. Top notch work my friend

Can you please look deeper into the Merovingian..theres more to him

6:04 Did you say “choosed”? DID YOU SAY “CHOOSED”!?

Amazing analysis. I never looked at it all this way. It all makes sense now.

Now THAT is the the most accurate analysis! All on point 🤝🏻

The Oracle's true power: cookies. And candy. And seating. And outcomes. "Here, have a cookie. I promise you, when you finish that cookie, you'll feel better" ~ The Oracle, The Matrix. If a cookie can make someone feel better; then why does Neo always seem concerned, after eating it? Also, If The Oracle really is a manipulator; and might be painted in such an antagonistic way; The Oracle: Please, have a seat. Neo: I think I'll stand. A moment later; Neo takes a seat. Neo: I felt like sitting. Oracle: I knew you would. Do you want some candy? Neo: [Despite best efforts to refuse, still takes a piece of candy.] Later on: Oracle: I still have candy. (Knowing full well Neo would accept a piece.) -- Agent Smith: [Explaining how everything is done purposely, deliberately.] You bake... cookies, purposely, deliberately; as if to expect company... Oracle: Why are you here? Agent Smith: Cookies, like everything; need love. Oracle: You are a bastard. Agent Smith: You would know; mom. Oracle: Just do, what you came you came here to do. Agent Smith: Yes ma'am. -- Also: Merovingian: [Gives the crew of Nebuchadnezzar a choice, they would undoubtedly refuse.] Bring me the eyes of the Oracle. -- Oracle: All those "rogue programs," like urban legends; are just people doing something with the program they shouldn't be doing." Also, Oracle: You make the choices. (Or) All I ask; is that you make up, your own damn mind. -- Anyone you ask; "What did the Oracle tell you?" Response: She told me, exactly what I needed to hear. And what exactly, was that? -- Morpheus: Neo is doing, what he believes he must do. Also Morpheus: I dreamt this... -- It all makes me wonder; Who *really is in control?*

We know what the red pill does, and we know what the blue pill does. But has anyone stopped to wonder ... what was in that cookie?

A couple of good thinking points. It's easy to see the Oracle as compassionate and on his/our side. She probably is compassionate-more compassionate than the architect. With all this considered, the conversation with the architect, at the end, with the little girl lingers. Does she represent hope or possibility, if the difference is even important

i found your channel yesterday. Think i've watched almost all of your videos by now. Big THANKS to the KZfaq algorithm and YOU Easy choice to smash that sub button

The Oracle reads all existence but while Neo manifests it.

My only issue with this is her attitude at the very end. Seemed like she was using her powers of manipulation for ultimate good by the end.

wow man im only a few mins in. the matrix series was a serious part of my life. It took you only a couple minutes to help me realize things i never did. like in the first movie when the architect is watching him during the interrogation. HOW COULD I HAVE NEVER CAUGHT THIS AFTER SO MANY YEARS AND WATCHING SOOOOOOOOOO MANY TIMES??????

The Architect knew all of this as well. That's why he seems to antagonize Neo in the screen room, making it sound like Neo only had 1 choice. He was actually pushing Neo to choose the door that the previous 5 anomalies did not choose. This is alluded to at the end of Revolutions when the Oracle and the Architect meet. He says to her that she has played a very dangerous game and that he is also skeptical that the new peace can last. He even says to Neo that he can see the emotional pre-cursors forming leading to an emotional response designed to cloud his reason and judgement. The key to making him choose the other door was Trinity.

The Illusion of Choice, or The American Political System

so, the kid who trans-substantiated is the only one who is actually free, and not under the control of the architect? He needs to return to the matrix, he is the true neo

wow! This video is really food for thought

Awesome content as always! Keep up the good work ME! Your videos have me so interested to dive into the Matrix!

The Architech told her “She played a dangerous game.” In “Revolutions” This video is on the nose.

Also not a coincidence that the Oracle, looks like the creator/author of the Matrix. Sophia Stewart

"We each play out the parts fate has written for us. We are compelled ineluctably down pre-ordained paths. Free will is an illusion." ~ Kain (Legacy of Kain)

I have to admit its been decades since I first watched this movie and Im still learning about this shit ... ... just goes to show you how deep the rabbit hole really goes.

The Architech is Xehanort. Oracle is Master of Master.

I think the anomaly was Smith and Neo was the solution. Think about it

You know you're in The Matrix when the commercials are longer than the video.

The Oracle exercises control through manipulation, which means her power is not absolute, just highly predictive. That is why the Architect describes her as an Intuitive Program: she can see what needs to be said or done in order to achieve a desired outcome (but can she cope with true irrationality?). Also, some of her predictions refer to future events in the "real" world, on the Nebuchadnezzar, which she could not possibly have foreseen if it was really outside of the Matrix. This is the big secret of the first film, which is only spelt out by the Architect in Reloaded, when he refers to the necessity of Zion and then right at the end we see Neo gain the ability to defeat the Sentinels with his mind. There is also a big change in direction between the first film, which basically shows a Matrix populated by people and agents, and Reloaded, where people have vanished and the whole film concentrates on a Matrix filled with programs. Put all that together and it should have made for a terrific 3rd film where Neo, Morpheus etc realise that The Matrix is multi-layered and they are still in it. So are they humans, or programs? How many layers are there? Can they ever actually escape? If you die in one layer, do you die in all of them or perhaps get put into a storage buffer? So many opportunities to tie it all to the classical questions of our existence and philosophy, yet the Wachowskis ignored it all to just create a silly shoot 'em up finale. So disappointing. Let's hope M4 fixes things.

The true evil is that the Oracle wants to take over TikTok. That doesn’t even make sense.

The most interesting part about all of this is that by the final movie (revolutions) Neo realizes in his battle with Smith that he doesn't -have- a choice, which shows a full character arc.

When you do a magic trick, you can present someone with false choice. You ca also present them with actual choice, as long as you are ambigous about the outcome. I do belive his choices where real, but very probable to end in the same way, especially with them so often following orders. The oracle also says "the only way er are going to get there is together", and at that point its clear that she is referring to both machines and humans. That could well be the case from the beginning.

all this focus on the main characters, and yet the Hindu programs are totally left out. look into the Hindu couple and their daughter Sari for a bigger picture of things.

Y’all confusing me bru

this is easily comparable to how a companies marketing tactics offer you a more variety of a product of the same thing, but at the end, you are choosing their product.

my mind was just blown, talking about thinking outside the box.

Congratulations to 10000 subscribers! I'm subscribed to your mandalorian channel now!

Suddenly I'm reminded of a song, about making choices; stating that if you chooses *not to decide,* you'll still have made a choice.

WOW , now THIS is a cool channel "the Matrix" !!! Subbed !

I watched the 1st movie yesterday again lol, and the vase scene hit me this time. It felt like the Oracle said - "Would you do what I say if I didn't tell you what to do?". Sort of.

The Oracle is just good in calculating the probabilities based on the person's character and inclinations. People who think there's no choice and freedom are just ingrates who can't appreciate the Creator's gift of life. Without freedom, we will not enjoy the pleasures of living.

This video has given me a whole new understanding of the matrix trilogy

Being the one is just like being in love. No one can tell you you're in love, you just know it; through and through, balls to bones.

Such an amazing analysis! There are other matrix analysis videos out there comparing the matrix itself to a dystopian net of plutocracy. I wonder if this analysis could be further extrapolated. Is choice an illusion? What about democracy then?

Except at the end of revolutions Seraph asks the Oracle did she always know and the Oracle says "No. no I didn't. But I believed. I believed." So while she influenced certain things and knew certain things would happen before they did she was not all knowing of the future

Reach...kind of. She was obviously was being sarcastic when talkn about "We are lost without Morpheus" That line can be taken at face value. No triks, no code talk, jus straight forward, Neo, think for yourself. Nobody can tell you,youre the one, I think, was the message in that line. Dope Vid !!

The cadence of her speech as Neo leaves her home is exactly how hypnotic suggestions are made, its not subtle, or is it?

Damn, that explained the line from the Architect said “You played a dangerous game” to the Oracle.

It's kind of like photon quantum states. Using the double slit experiment as an example. The light source (beginning) and the wall (end) are determined but the paths will differ once the photon beam passes through the two slits. Variations on a theme, but the outcome is decided.

WOW‼️ I HAD NOT AT ALL THINK OF 'THE ORACLE' BEING AS INSIDIOUS AS THIS HAS BEEN EXPLORED. I SEE NOW A STEP FURTHER THAN BEFORE. THANK FOR THIS ANALYSIS‼️👏👍😃🙏😌

Neo is my favorite character in the movies, due o the high percentage of time spent showing things from his perspective, whether in reality or from within the Matrix. This is just as the creators of the story directed us to feel.

OMG, all my choices have been false too! GRANDMA, how could you!!!!!

Great analysis

Bro every time you do one of these videos you blow my mind. Subbing to your other channel too! Grow them both and may you live well.

woooooow neverthought of the oracle in this way!!! I AM OUT OF BREATHE RN

In the original story of the Matrix, machines use humans not as a battery but as processors. I think the theme of choice is more powerful when you know that.

“Choice is an illusion: It is created between those with power, and those without.”

This is now blowing my mind! Whoa...

i am liking this analysis, and can think of more possible manipulations.

Impressive analysis. Subbed.

The matrix is talking about life. Every choice leads you down a different path . We too are given choices and understanding of our choices is given to us by our rulers.

Makes you think

That was incredible, I'm gonna watch the whole saga again

wow - really - THe architect is watching him...it is the archtiects room - wow that you have catched that was great!
