Tensor product? But I...

dmazeSaw Matrix Reloaded last night, thus achieving my goal of seeing it comparatively soon but not in an insanely huge mob. I think my end conclusion is that it'd be a really good book: the action sequences were not that impressive in my mind, but it would have been nice to go back and reread some of the longish dialog sections. The infamous sex scene made an excellent time to visit the rest room.
At the end of the movie, I really did want to review Neo's conversation with the Oracle. But I also wanted to go over the Architect conversation two or three more times, since that attempted to explain most of the world. It also wasn't clear that the Architect was actually aware of the Agent Smith Issue.
What is Smith after? He seems to have gained some spiffiness in the Matrix, but "kill Neo" is an overly simplistic game goal (and something he's visibly incapable of on his own). It doesn't seem like he's entirely aligned with the Machine side of the board either, though. Is his goal really "kill all the humans, I mean all of them"?
I have this vague hypothesis that Neo hasn't actually left the Matrix (and consequently that there's a "reality Matrix"). This explains why he was able to stop the machines attacking, since he can manipulate Matrices. It also adds odd meta-levels to the world, though.
...but Google is able to find me a copy of the Architect speech. Hmmmm...
