Three predictive Tweets on Matrix 4 : One, Zero, √-2

Not (necessarily) in Eliot's 4Q sense, but do we know the end from the beginning ?

The trope's there in the predecessors, and Alice, so patent in The Matrix (1999) - with, from memory, 'Wakey-wakey, Neo !', 'Follow the white rabbit', and 'See how far down the rabbit-hole goes' - is resurfacing, as also the dissenting voices when The One goes back to The Source.

The hazard is that, when those dismissive of <i>The Matrix Reloaded</i> (2003) and / or <i>The Matrix Revolutions</i> (2003), baulked at the service's apparently irrelevant stopping-points, or what they deemed its graphic failures, it all exactly maps on the Carrollian universe !

Postlude cum Prelude :

Goin' good, on Matrix Released Day, and #UCFF is - in its true sense - trying to anticipate the Carrollian Twists and Turns that, who knows, might take us to the Isa Bowman acrostic (and beautiful poem) in Sylvie and Bruno ?

One good thing leads to another...

It's going to have to be back to 1999 and The Matrix (*all of the films* - not rubbishing any of them) ! pic.twitter.com/7xOryMERhh

The greatest film that I never proved to have a chance to watch in a cinema.

After The Matrix Revisited revisited, it'll be The Animatrix (2003)...

The animosity, generated by the malevolence of Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith), between Neo (Keanu Reeves) and him is tremendous.

[...]

In The Matrix (1999), naturally enough, Neo lives in Room 101.

Where the principal action starts (with Trinity having been traced) and ends (Neo taking the call after he has run inside Agent Smith and exploded him) is Room 303 (Heart o' the City).

Meanwhile, there is Jimmy Brians's review, as posted on YouTube...

That Tweet's dedicated to Jimmy, @rydcook !

There's no clear view of The Oracle's door (would have to freeze-frame it). But she lives on the 11th floor - could it be Room 1111 ? !

The Matrix (1999) is perfectly right :

With the potential for highly vivid dreams of those whose unusual experiences are prosaically diagnosed as such as schizo-affective disorder, massed in an array, the power would be immense !

So let's unite and sleep away all that hinders. pic.twitter.com/QYFo08I2vH

At first, thought Joe Pantoliano (Caesar) mis-cast, but he grew on one, and he went from deceived to mad to cunning to a mistaken belief in psychology ! pic.twitter.com/KqFIsllJvF
