这就是第一集的故事，故事很精彩，效果很棒，这部影片获得了四项奥斯卡奖，影片中的众多特效镜头被奉为经典。要说明的是导演和制作人并不是因为第一部的成功才决定拍续集，《黑客帝国》 从来就是一个完整的故事，并不是先有了 I 再想到去拍摄 II 和 III，只不过故事太长，必须要拍摄三部才够，《黑客帝国》 I 只是故事的开始，真正让观众吃惊的都在后面，《黑客帝国》 的故事绝没有你们想象的那么简单。我们现在开始来说第二集的故事，在整个《黑客帝国》 的故事中，第二集的作用是承上启下，也是最为难懂，引起争议和讨论最多的一集，在这一集里面众多的新人物纷纷登场，让人目不暇接，眼花缭乱。故事从尼奥的一个梦¬开始，他梦见崔尼悌被特工用枪打中了，这一开始其实就埋下了一个伏笔，按照电影的一般惯例，这种梦最后多半会成为真实的（影片确实也是如此），那么我不禁就要发¬问，既然这是在真实世界，尼奥怎么可能能梦到未来发生的事情（注意，这是科幻电影，不是指环王这样的神话故事电影，现实世界中你说一个人梦到了未来那是封建迷信¬），这不符合科幻电影严谨的逻辑，难道导演又要在这一集里面插入一些什么奇幻电影的因素，接下来要出现什么魔法或超自然力什么的吗？
接着，上一集被杀死的 Smith 又复活了，理论上并不是复活，而是升级了，在尼奥钻入他身体的时候，Smith 获得了尼奥的部分代码，最终导致了 Smith 的复活（升级），升级版的 Smith 不再是一个普通的特工，他变得更加强大，而且不受 母体 的控制，可以将自己的代码（思想）植入 母体 中的人甚至特工的身体中，从而复制自己，并控制他们，这个功能非常可怕，意味着 Smith 可以不断的复制自己，尼奥和 Smith 的第二次正面打斗的戏就是尼奥面对一堆的 Smith 不停的打，怎么也打不完，越打越多，最后只好像超人一样三十六计走为上计飞走了。接着影片出现了第二个伏笔，Smith 复制了一个锡安的叛军，这个叫本恩的叛军通过电话回到了锡安，但是显然，他的思想已经变化了，不再是原来的本恩，而变成了 Smith 附身的本恩，到这里相信看懂剧情的朋友不禁要问，既然锡安是真实世界，那么来自 母体 中的程序 Smith 怎么可能能够控制真实世界中的人，就像一台电脑把网线都拔了，他怎么还会被黑客入侵呢？
The Architect - I am the Architect. I created the matrix. I’ve
been waiting for you. You have many questions, and although the process
has altered your consciousness, you remain irrevocably human. Ergo,
some of my answers you will understand, and some of them you will not.
Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you
may or may not realize it is also irrelevant.
设计师：我是设计师，是我创造了 Matrix。我一直在等你。我知道你有很多问题要问，虽然整个过程改变了你的意识，但你依然是不折不扣的人类。所以我的一些回答你也许能明白，有些你也许不能¬明白。你的第一个问题也许是最有关键的一个问题，同时你也许意识到或没有意识到它也是最无关紧要的问题。
Neo - Why am I here?
尼奥：为什么我会在这里？
The Architect - Your life is the sum of a remainder of an
unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the matrix. You are
the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I
have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of
mathematical precision. While it remains a burden to sedulously avoid
it, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control.
Which has led you, inexorably, here.
设计师：你的生命是 Matrix 固有程序中一个失衡因式的残留总和。你是一个偏差的偶然性，是尽管我竭尽全力，仍不能消除的影响数学精度和谐的一个偏差。尽管它不断地制造麻烦让我小心翼翼地处¬理它，但它并不是不可预测的，它仍然处于控制范围之内。它引导着你来到这里。
Neo - You haven’t answered my question.
尼奥：你还没有回答我的问题。
The Architect - Quite right. Interesting. That was quicker than
the others.
设计师：很好。有意思，这要比其他的那些要快一点。
*The responses of the other Ones appear on the monitors: Others?
What others? How many? Answer me!*
*其他救世主的回应显现在监视器上：其他的？什么其他的？有多少个？回答我！*
The Architect - The matrix is older than you know. I prefer
counting from the emergence of one integral anomaly to the emergence of
the next, in which case this is the sixth version.
设计师：Matrix 比你想像的要老得多。我比较喜欢用一个完整偏差的出现到下一个完整偏差出现的方式来计算，这已经是第六个版本的
Matrix。
*Again, the responses of the other Ones appear on the monitors:
Five versions? Three? I’ve been lied too. This is bull****.*
*其他救世主的回应再次显现在监视器上：五个版本？三个版本？我一直被蒙在鼓里，妈的。
Ne There are only two possible explanations: either no one told
me, or no one knows.
尼奥：只可能有两种解释：没人告诉过我或是从来就没人知道。
The Architect - Precisely. As you are undoubtedly gathering, the
anomaly’s systemic, creating fluctuations in even the most simplistic
equations.
设计师：正确。因为你无疑是最简单化的因式里聚集并创造着偏差的系统化变动
*Once again, the responses of the other Ones appear on the
monitors: You can’t control me! **** you! I’m going to kill you! You
can’t make me do anything!*
*其他救世主的回复再次显现在监视器上：你控制不了我！Fuck you！我会干掉你！我不会为你做任何事情！
Neo - Choice. The problem is choice.
尼奥：选择。问题的关键是选择。
*The scene cuts to Trinity fighting an agent, and then back to
the Architects room*
*电影场景切换到崔妮蒂和一个密探对打，然后又切换回到建造者的房间*
The Architect - The first matrix I designed was quite naturally
perfect, it was a work of art, flawless, sublime. A triumph equaled
only by its monumental failure. The inevitability of its doom is as
apparent to me now as a consequence of the imperfection inherent in
every human being, thus I redesigned it based on your history to more
accurately reflect the varying grotesqueries of your nature. However, I
was again frustrated by failure. I have since come to understand that
the answer eluded me because it required a lesser mind, or perhaps a
mind less bound by the parameters of perfection. Thus, the answer was
stumbled upon by another, an intuitive program,initially created to
investigate certain aspects of the human psyche. If I am the father of
the matrix, she would undoubtedly be its mother.
设计师：我设计的第一个 母体 非常完美，它简直就像是一件完美而卓越的艺术品。它的成功和失败都同样是史诗性的。它失败的必然性在我看来是每个人类固有的非完美性的结果。所以我根据你们人类¬的历史重新设计了 母体，以便更准确地反映你们人类本性中多变的怪诞特质。可是我再次失败了。我终于了解到我得不到正确答案是因为它不需要太多的考虑或是也许不需要考虑太¬多完美性的问题因素。答案最终为另一个指导性的程序偶然发现，这个程序原本是为了研究某些人类思维的。如果说我是母体 之父，她无疑是 母体 之母。
Neo - The Oracle.
尼奥：先知。
The Architect - Please. As I was saying, she stumbled upon a solution
whereby nearly 99.9％ of all test subjects accepted the program, as
long as they were given a choice, even if they were only aware of the
choice at a near unconscious level. While this answer functioned, it
was obviously
fundamentally flawed, thus creating the otherwise contradictory
systemic anomaly, that if left unchecked might threaten the system
itself. Ergo, those that refused the program, while a minority, if
unchecked, would constitute an escalating probability of disaster.
设计师：嗯。正如我所说的，她偶然发现了一个方法使得将近 99.9％ 的试验体接受程序, 那就是给他们一个选择的机会,他们甚至只是仅仅意识到这个选择只是处于无意识的阶段. 这个解决方案最初进行时, 它无疑从基础上是有缺陷的, 因而产生了相矛盾的系统偏差, 如果不加以抑制就会威胁到系统本身.
因此那些拒绝程序的试验体, 尽管只是少数, 但如果不加以抑制就会不断增加形成灾难的可能性.
Neo - This is about Zion.
尼奥 ：你指的是锡安。
The Architect - You are here because Zion is about to be
destroyed. Its every living inhabitant terminated, its entire existence
eradicated.
设计师：你在这里是因为锡安就快要被摧毁。居住在里面的人全都会被消灭，那里所有的一切都会被彻底摧毁。
Neo - Bull****.
尼奥：放屁！
*The responses of the other Ones appear on the monitors:
Bull****!*
*其他救世主的回应显现在监视器上：放屁！
The Architect - Denial is the most predictable of all human
responses. But, rest assured, this will be the sixth time we have
destroyed it, and we have become exceedingly efficient at it.
设计师：否认是所有人类反应中最容易预知的一种。但不可否认的是，这将是我们第六次摧毁Zion，我们干得越来越干净利落。
*Scene cuts to Trinity fighting an agent, and then back to the
Architects room.*
*电影画面切换到崔妮蒂和密探的对打，然后又回到建造者的房间。*
The Architect - The function of the One is now to return to the
source, allowing a temporary dissemination of the code you carry,
reinserting the prime program. After which you will be required to
select from the matrix 23 individuals, 16 female, 7 male, to rebuild
Zion. Failure to comply with this process will result in a cataclysmic
system crash killing everyone connected to the matrix, which coupled
with the extermination of Zion will ultimately result in the extinction
of the entire human race.
设计师：救世主的作用就是现在要返回源极，散播你所携带的编码，重新植入源程序。然后你要从母体 中选出 16 个女性，7 个男性共 23个人类个体来重建锡安。如果没有按照这个步骤来进行，将会导致灾难性的系统崩溃，这会杀死连接在 母体 上的所有人附带的锡安毁灭，这也意味着全人类的绝灭。
Neo - You won’t let it happen, you can’t. You need human beings
to survive.
尼奥：你不会让这样的事情发生的，你不会的。你们需要人类才能生存。
The Architect - There are levels of survival we are prepared to
accept. However, the relevant issue is whether or not you are ready to
accept the responsibility for the death of every human being in this
world.
设计师：我们已经作好了接受任何幸存程度的准备。但与此相关的问题是你是否已经准备好为这个世界所有人类的灭亡承担责任？
*The Architect presses a button on a pen that he is holding, and
images of people from all over the matrix appear on the monitors*
*设计师按下他拿在手里的笔上的一个按键，母体 里各个地方的人的图像显现在监视器里。
The Architect - It is interesting reading your reactions. Your
five predecessors were by design based on a similar predication, a
contingent affirmation that was meant to create a profound attachment
to the rest of your species, facilitating the function of the one.
While the others
experienced this in a very general way, your experience is far
more specific. Vis-a-vis, love.
设计师：观察你的反应很有趣。你的五个前辈都是在一个相同推断的基础上设计以便你执行我们设计好的流程，这个可能的巧合意味着与你们种类的附属关系. 其他的那些救世主们是按常规的方式经历这一过程的，相对他们, 你的经历却是相当特殊的, 你经历着爱.
*Images of Trinity fighting the agent from Neo’s dream appear on
the monitors*
*尼奥梦里崔妮蒂和密探大战的画面出现在监视器上。*
Neo - Trinity.
尼奥：崔妮蒂！
The Architect - Apropos, she entered the matrix to save your life
at the cost of her own.
设计师：顺带说一句，她进入 母体 牺牲她自己是为了救你。
尼奥 ： No!
The Architect - Which brings us at last to the moment of truth,
wherein the fundamental flaw is ultimately expressed, and the anomaly
revealed as both beginning, and end. There are two doors. The door to
your right leads to the source, and the salvation of Zion. The door to
the left leads back to the matrix, to her, and to the end of your
species. As you adequately put, the problem is choice. But we already
know what you’re going to do, don’t we? Already I can see the chain
reaction, the chemical precursors that signal the onset of emotion,
designed specifically to overwhelm logic, and reason. An emotion that
is already blinding you from the simple, and obvious truth: she is
going to die, and there is nothing that you can do to stop it.
The Architect - Humph. Hope, it is the quintessential human
delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and your
greatest weakness.
设计师：哼。希望，最典型的人类错觉。它既是你们最强大的力量又是你们最大的弱点。
Neo - If I were you, I would hope that we don’t meet again.
尼奥：如果我是你，我希望我们不会再见面。
Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation
inherent in the programming of the matrix. You are the eventuality of
an anomaly which, despite my sincerest efforts. I have been unable to
eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision.
..... The function of the One is now to return to the source allowing a
temporary dissemination of the code you carry reinserting the prime
program. (你的生命是 母体 固有程序中一个失衡因式的残留总和。你是一个偏差的偶然性，是尽管我竭尽全力，仍不能消除的影响数学精度和谐的一个偏差。尽管它不断地制造麻烦让我小心翼翼地处¬理它，但它并不是不可预测的，它仍然处于控制范围之内。它引导着你来到这里。)
第一集的故事主线很明确，人物也很简单，就是叛军和特工，多的没了。但是到了第二集，整个剧情得到了极大的扩展，千头万绪，众多人物向观众们倾泻而下， Smith 先知保镖，法国人，双胞胎，开锁人，设计师，每一个人物似乎都充满了谜。场面已经越搞越大了，这第三集将如何收场？剧情该如何走向？网上讨论的热烈也开始趋向白热化，各种猜测都接踵而至，其中一种有趣的现象，讨论最热烈的是以电脑程序员为主，看了很多各种各样的评论，写的好的也大多是有计算机背景的，看来，要看懂 母体，还得有点技术基础。好在第二集到第三集的间隔并不算太长，关于第三集剧情的猜测可以比较快的得到答案。
2003年11 月5日，电影史上又一次史无前例的行动，全球60多个国家同时公映，这意味着全球60多个国家的2万多家影院中的几千万观众在同一时刻揭开母体 的最后面纱，同一时刻目睹尼奥和Smith 的最后决战，这是何其壮观的一件事情。第三集一开始，尼奥和本恩（被Smith附身的那个人）头对着头躺在医疗床上，这又是一个画面化的寓言，影片的开始是尼奥¬和Smith这对冤家碰头，而影片也以尼奥和Smith的对决作为结束的。尼奥的思想已经被囚禁到一个叫 Mobile Ave 地铁车站里面，这这里他碰到了三个人物，三个流放者，他们是一个三口之家，也就是三个即将被删除的程序，他们正等着那个法国人来搭救他们，还记得吗，这个法国人¬就是专门收留这些即将被删除的程序的。在这里，尼奥和三个人中的男性有很长的一段对话，从对话中，我们开始知道，这个车站其实是一个法国人编写的走私程序，是专¬门负责来运送非法程序的，法国人就是通过这个车站来运送那些即将被删除的非法程序，而要逃离这个地方的唯一办法就是搭乘"车主（也是法国人的手下）"驾驶的地铁¬离开。
