I saw Revolutions today...it was weird. Agent Elrond was great...but Trinity took too long to die, and seemingly without any pain...and I was wondering by the end. What is 'real'? That real world is still a creation of the Architect. So it can't be really 'real', can it? A Matrix within a Matrix perhaps?<P>Well, at any rate LOTR is much less confusing, and the films have had better pacing. M:R constantly alternated between mind-numbingly slow (ie all the dialogue, especially from Morpheus...) and extraordinarily fast and way too many flashing lights. Like the flickering thing where Neo is blinded...argh!<BR>But as for comparing Trinity to Arwen...I personally think Trinity shows the power of love much more than Arwen ever did...she just sat around and waited in hope. Mind you, being around 6000 years ago, you could hardly expect her to go along and fight. But then Éowyn did...ah well, I'm confusing myself...But on the other hand, Trinity went every step of the way to help Neo until she died.<BR>As for Frodo and Neo...well both are kind of sacrificing themselves, aren't they? Neo allowed himself to turn into Agent Elrond and exploded himself to destry them all. (Well that's what it looked like to me!) Frodo gave up any real chance of comfort and contentment so that the Shire might be left alone.
