Mind Over Matter: Alright, First Ill give examples of the first theme, "Mind Over matter". Neo goes to see the Oracle, He goes to walk in, But then is instantly greeted by a woman (unknown). She tells him to please come in. Now comes the scene where you see SpoonBoy (Yes thats what his name is in the Credits.). Anyways, Neo Spots some girls playing with some floating cubes, And then Spots SpoonBoy, Who seems to be bending Spoons with his mind. The scene goes like this (Yes I did have a lot of time on my hands).
Neo
From left to right: Agents Brown, Smith, and Jones
Oracle (The Matrix)==SCENE== (SpoonBoy) Do Not Try And Bend The Spoon, Thats Impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth.....
(NEO) What Truth? ...
(SpoonBoy) There is no.
(Neo) There is no spoon? (SpoonBoy) Then you'll see that it is not the spoon that bends it is only yourself...
==END SCENE== Basically SpoonBoy is telling Neo the theme "Mind over matter" Once Neo realizes the Spoon isnt there he can twist its essence by changing his way of thinking.
Another Example of Mind Over matter is the famous "Jump" Scene. Morpheus has tank load the Jump simulation. And Morpheus proceeds to tell Neo that he needs to free his mind, let go of this fabricated world, believe the truth. Then Morpheus jumps from one scyscraper to the next. Neo, trys, but fails...
Things aren't how they...
