Dec 20, 2023 at 5:28 comment added Acccumulation "Thomas Anderson is a real person only in the perspective of everybody in the virtual matrix." No, he is real. He wasn't "code".
Feb 20, 2020 at 23:10 comment added Flater Note also that Neo, when waking up in the incubator, is effectively flushed away by the system. The Matrix was disposing of him because Thomas Anderson (Neo's Matrix identity) registered as either dead or incompatible.
Aug 1, 2019 at 19:13 comment added GrandOpener The apparent contradiction of the Oracle saying that Neo is not the One can only be fully explained with the additional context of who she is and what "the One" really means that is given in the sequels. The Matrix is a complete movie on it's own, but it is not the full story of the universe without the sequels. Here's someone who's written a lot more words than me on the subject: room207press.com/2019/07/… (Contains original research, but is quite well reasoned and supported.)

Oct 14, 2012 at 23:06 comment added iandotkelly @ShadowWizard - I think these are reasonable interpretations of the movie. Most are just statements of plot. The last one as NGLN points out is the most 'interpretive' of the answers.
