“Why, Mr. Anderson? Why? Why do you do it? Why? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you’re fighting for something? Something more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom or truth? Perhaps peace? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson! Temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence without meaning or purpose. And all as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson. You must know it by now. You can’t win. There’s no point in fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why? Why do you persist?”
Watched The Matrix Revolutions again last night. That entire series is pure brilliance, beginning to end.
That line!
I’ve been wanting to hear that again since I saw the movie last year. I just never got around to renting/pirating the movie.
That line alone hit me to the core and left me thinking about that movie for days.

Love the movies. Love the line. It’s unheard of to have a movie with action scenes like the dock battle that also include conversations like this. Seeing Smith and Neo flying around was a little silly, but Smith’s monologue really hit home. It makes me think about entropy and the heat death of the universe, and the fact that, as far as our understanding of the universe goes, Smith is actually right.
And so is Neo’s response.
