After 20 years, the Matrix series has finally ushered in its fourth film. As can be seen from the trailer recently released by Warner, the picture performance of the film is quite amazing, and Neo played by Keanu Levi and Trinity played by Kelly-Ann Moss confirmed their return, and the two will be reunited in the "mother".
But this also brings us more questions, since Neo and Trinitti have died in the last "Matrix Revolution", how they will be resurrected in the movie will be a noteworthy plot point, and the two faces are not reduced in age, then how the plot explains their age will also be a question mark.
But more importantly: what does it mean for Neo to have a little yellow duck on his head?
Today, I will combine this latest trailer to analyze the possible plot direction of the upcoming "Matrix 4: Matrix Restart".
At the beginning of the trailer, Neo is undergoing a psychological consultation, and the psychologist played by Neil Patrick Harris calls him Thomas, indicating that Neo's projection in this "matrix" is still the Same Thomas Anderson 20 years ago.
The identity of the role of the counselor is unknown, but it is likely that it is a program in the "matrix" or simply an agent, noting that the color of his glasses and clothes is blue.
According to the ending of the Matrix Revolution, the Prophet reached a brief peace agreement between the prophet and the matrix (the "architect"), and the human reality of the holy city of Zion was not destroyed by the Sentinel robot, but the "matrix" was also able to clear its own viruses and BUGs and get the opportunity to restart, so the vast majority of humans still live in the virtual world created by the "matrix", and only a few can live by their own will (note that the bodies of Neo and Trinitti are left in the mechanical city).
Until the end of the film, it is not explained how the bodies of Neo and Triniti will be disposed of, and it is indeed possible for the "mother" to extract the DNA of the two to create their respective clones (there is a scene in the trailer that shows Trinity's cloned body full of connections).
However, for a big guy like Neo who seriously affects the "balance", it is difficult to imagine that the "mother" will risk letting him reconnect, do you want to let Neo wait in the "mother" as a dormant state to avoid another virus flood? There is also another possibility that Neo had a part of his consciousness left in the "matrix" before he died, and since there was no projection of the real world, he could only occupy the body of others like a "secret agent" in the "matrix" (which is why Neo could see the other person's face in the mirror).
This remnant of consciousness makes it impossible for Neo to fully remember his past identity, and the "matrix" is even more helpless for Neo, who has no real body, and can only try to find a way to close his self-consciousness, and the psychological counselor and a large number of blue pills may play this effect.
The blue drug that Neo takes in the film is called "Ontolofloxin", which is of course a fictional drug with its roots in "ontology", or "existentialism", a philosophical school that discusses ontology and abstract concepts.

The English subtitle of this film is called "Resurrections", and the translated name "Matrix Restart" Chinese does not express its full meaning. "Resurrections" originally meant "rebirth", with strong religious overtones, originally referring to God's resurrection on the third day after the martyrdom of Jesus, so the title itself also has the meaning of the savior's rebirth.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="28" > Morpheus</h1>
Another noteworthy detail in the trailer is the "mysterious character" played by Yahya Meadow (there is no more information about the role at present), and since the old version of Morpheus's actor Lawrence Fishburn has confirmed that he will not appear in the fourth film, it is widely believed that Yahya is actually the young version of Morpheus, and the two are very close in dress, temperament, conversation and demeanor.
The problem is that Morpheus survived the Battle of Zion, and if this is really a young version of Morpheus, it is a new question, could it be that the "Architect" broke the peace agreement and attacked Zion, causing some of the remaining free will of mankind to be put back into the control of the "matrix"?
In addition, several of Morpheus's outfits in the trailer belong to the red system, implying that he understands the true situation of the "mother" (like the red pills he provided to Neo), so some theories believe that Morpheus is the real savior and not Neo, but this is another topic, and there is a chance to introduce it to you.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="29" > Easter eggs</h1>
Of course, the trailer is also indispensable to the tribute to the classic shots of the previous game: for example, the recurring black cat represents the small glitch of the "mother" during the operation; the "little white rabbit" tattoo that appears on the blue-haired girl represents the yardstick that distinguishes the virtual and the real world.
As for the little yellow duck on Neo's head when he bathes, I think it represents the "Rubber Duck Debugging" in software engineering, which is a psychological adjustment mechanism used by code farmers when they encounter bottlenecks. Coders explain in detail what each line of code does to a small yellow duck (which can also be another third-party item) in this way to inspire or find errors in the program.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="31" > prophet? </h1>
The young girl with glasses is believed to be The Oracle in rebooting the "Matrix", and what the relationship between her and the old prophet is still unknown (probably the little girl in the third part).
However, the prophet is not a projection of a human consciousness in the "mother", its predecessor is a code used to simulate the psychological state of human beings, so the girl may also be a program that is born after the restart of the "mother", and has not yet left the "mother" to become a "prophet" in the true sense.
In short, the action scenes of the film do not have to worry at all, and the skills of Wachowski's director are still trustworthy. However, there are indeed many doubts about the plot of the film, and if the main film can perfectly interpret the problems mentioned above, then this "Matrix 4: Matrix Restart" is definitely one of the most anticipated science fiction movies this year.
Why is the code of Seraf played by Zou Zhaolong in "The Matrix" golden?
