Oracle: That's it. That's the secret. You've got to use your hands.
Sati: Why?
Oracle: Cookies need love like everything does.
饼干也需要爱!先知开始教Sati那些人类的情感.先知教的这种爱是博爱,这一点叔本华是很缺乏的,但奇怪的是佛教很讲究博爱,而叔本华又研究多年佛学,他怎么就那么悲观呢?看来,Neo和Smith正是叔本华的两面,也是导演的两面,也是我的两面.任何一个既欣赏叔本华,又敬重佛教的人都会有这样的情况.
Sati: Neo!
Oracle: I was hoping to have these done before you got here. Oh well. Sati, honey, I think it's time for a tasting. Take the bowl to Seraph and find out if they're ready.
又一次证明先知的能力是”直觉”,Neo什么时候来这样物理因素很重的事件是很难预测的,但是先知确实预测到了Neo会来.
Sati: Okay. *to Neo* I'm glad you got out.
Neo: Me too.
Oracle: So, do you recognize me?
Neo: A part of you.
Oracle: Yeah, that's how it works. Some bits you lose, some bits you keep. I don't yet recognize my face in the mirror, but... I still love candy. *offers Neo a piece of red candy*
很精辟,佛经上讲:”得就是失,失就是得,有得必有失,有失必有得.”同一件事情的得与失比例对于不同的人来说是不一样的,你若能平心看到”得等于失”,那你就得道了.
Neo: No, thank you.
Oracle: Remember what you were like when you first walked through my door, jittery as a junebug? And now just look at you. You sure did surprise me, Neo, and you still do.
哈哈,Smith说伟大的先知绝无意外,而先知自己却说Neo给了她很多惊喜.说明先知对Neo的直觉并不永远准确,还好,这一点并不会对大问题产生影响.
Neo: You gave me a few surprises, too.
Oracle: I hope I helped.
Neo: You helped me to get here, but my question is why? Where does this go? Where does it end?
救世主问原因了,这是Neo在法国人那里学来的(第二部里,法国人就给他灌输这种思想),原因是动力啊.叔本华认为一个人的行为有两个因素:动机和性格.原因就是动机,这是没有争议的,而性格,既然是塑造出来的,同样也可以被改变.导演为什么在力求和第一部对应的时候安排先知提Neo的改变呢?就是要告诉观众,先知不旦给了Neo动机,甚至改变了Neo的性格.但不知有多少人理解导演的苦心.
Oracle: I don't know.
Neo: You don't know or you won't tell me?
Oracle: I told you before. No one can see beyond a choice they don't understand, and I mean no one.
“没有人可以理解自己看不透的选择”,这没有什么需要解释的.需要解释的是”先知还有不理解的选择?”回忆先知之前和Morpheus,Trinity的谈话,先知明确知道她这个选择的代价,但最后这个选择的代价却比她预期的高.说明这是个错误的选择(仅仅就利益而言),那么就无法看透这个选择了.但这个利益上的错误选择却并不完全错误,利益的根本就是生存的欲望,而叔本华在<论自杀>中就说过,像是主义,信仰,就可以超越生死,何况是仅仅被Smith入侵呢.
Neo: What choice?
Oracle: It doesn't matter. It's my choice. I have mine to make, same as you have yours.
Neo: Does that include what things to tell me and what not to tell me?
Oracle: Of course not.
Neo: Then why didn't you tell me about the Architect? Why didn't you tell me about Zion, the Ones before me - why didn't you tell me the truth?
Oracle: Because it wasn't time for you to know.
Neo: Who decided it wasn't time?
Oracle: You know who. *She points at the Temet Nosce sign above the door* Neo: I did. *Oracle nods* Then I think it's time for me to know a few more things.
Oracle: So do I.
Neo: Tell me how I separated my mind from my body without jacking in. Tell me how I stopped four sentinels by thinking it. Tell me just what the hell is happening to me.
Oracle: The power of the One extends beyond this world. It reaches from here all the way back to where it came from.
Neo: Where?
Oracle: The Source. That's what you felt when you touched those Sentinels. But you weren't ready for it. You should be dead, but apparently you weren't ready for that, either.
救世主的力量当然不能局限于Matrix,在任何一个世界都不应该被终结.而Neo那些问题可以很容易从无线接入来解释.关于Source的问题,先知说Neo在碰到电子乌贼的时候,就感知到了Source.事实上,那些电子乌贼就是Source,那就是本质.我们的思想不应该被局限于”Source是一个空间”,Source完全可以是一种精神,一种本质,一种灵魂.电子乌贼作为一种很基本的机器,就是很本质的.先知说Neo还没有准备好接受,那是当然的了,谁能接受自己的敌人居然如此高尚,如此纯洁?(这么说可能很多人摸不找头脑,看Neo眼瞎之后的视野就知道我在说什么了)
死不死的问题也很有趣,”你应该死了,但是还有准备好.”够绝!敢情不准备好死还死不了了.Neo是否该死的问题没有必要解释,也无法解释,因为每个人(包括不用脑子看电影的)都明白,Neo不能死.
Neo: The Architect told me that if I didn't return to the Source, Zion would be destroyed by midnight tonight.
Oracle: *rolls eyes* Please... You and I may not be able to see beyond our own choices, but that man can't see past any choices.
Neo: Why not?
Oracle: He doesn't understand them - he can't. To him they are variables in an equation. One at a time each variable must be solved and countered. That's his purpose: to balance an equation.
Neo: What's your purpose?
Oracle: To unbalance it.
Neo: Why? What do you want?
Oracle: I want the same thing you want, Neo. And I am willing to go as far as you are to get it.
Neo: The end of the war. *Oracle nods* Is it going to end?
看到了吧,先知要的也是和平.很多人以小人之心度君子之腹,说先知不过是为了一次完备的升级.人家先知是很…的!(没词了)这也符合在她公寓墙上找到的”Peace”涂鸦.
Oracle: One way, or another.
Neo: Can Zion be saved?
Oracle: I'm sorry, I don't have the answer to that question, but if there's an answer, there's only one place you're going to find it.
Neo: Where?
Oracle: You know where. And if you can't find the answer, then I'm afraid there may be no tomorrow for any of us.
Neo: What does that mean?
Oracle: Everything that has a beginning has an end. I see the end coming. I see the darkness spreading. I see death. And you are all that stands in his way.
Neo: Smith.
Oracle: *nods* Very soon he's going to have the power to destroy this world, but I believe he won't stop there; he can't. He won't stop until there's nothing left at all.
Neo: What is he?
Oracle: He is you. Your opposite, your negative, the result of the equation trying to balance itself out.
我们说过,Neo是逻辑外真理,是在等式之外的.Smith却是因为等式为了平衡而被建造出来的.解释就是先知硬是把逻辑外真理由值转为关系.借设计师的手创造了Smith这个可怕的负数.(我为什么在这里用”可怕”形容Smith呢?我和他一样的哲学啊!)
Neo: What if I can't stop him?
Oracle: One way or another, Neo, this war is going to end. Tonight, the future of both worlds will be in your hands... or in his.
