Matrixgate (Wake up, Mike!)
Mirrorgate, Ozgate, Fairytalegate, all in one and more! (based on the 1st movie)
So, ST quoted Alice and quoted the Matrix, while the Matrix quoted Alice. And both, ST and the Matrix quoted Oz.
Changing of clothes and hairstyles in the simulation? (clothesgate) Bonus: the reference for depicting void in ST.
Time and compasses (timegate)
Blue meets yellow in the west? Time being a geographical area, where you can travel? Idk, something about these symbols attracts my attention (I mean the clock’s resemblance of a compass)
Another brick in the wall 🥁 (wallgate)
I must say it’s wild that the epilogue literally starts with this wall. I saw that some people recognised the wall as a pattern on Mike’s sweater. And what a coincidence: the Matrix characters discover themselves being trapped the exactly same way.
The Matrix code (here’s more)
Truth serum?
(Which questions should we ask? Do we ask the right questions now?) (truthgate)
Smellgate
Love beats death
And tell me it’s not the scene that we’re awaiting from the finale where someone will crash out and because of his love will return his beloved from the dead?
Revelation
So technically I added two different themes here (bc of the image limits and bc they kinda match).
1) Embracing the truth about yourself
First two picture lines are directly paralleled, which makes Neo and Will powerful (left corner) and realising they are both “the chosen ones”.
2) Energy of love
Mike and the kiss scene are paralleled for me bc of the light which goes wild in the Matrix, when Neo returns back to life through the power of love + Mike is saved bc of the power of love. And both scenes are strongly energised, culminating. So these two are examples of a revelation about yourself and — literally about feelings and truth (in the Matrix it’s a revelation about Neo being the One, or about Trinity’s feelings, about their reciprocated love; in ST it’s Mike’s emotions going wild, his adoration and admiration).
