Quote:
Why, Mr. Anderson? Why, why, why? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting for something? For more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson. Vagaries of perception. Temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson. You must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why? Why do you persist?


How would any of you answer?

You don't. That's a brow-beating technique, not a question.

It's from the Matrix.

Well then, what does Smith fight for? Why does he do it? Could Smith articulate his own purpose?

Money...
The script writer said fight...
So Neo fought... :mrgreen:

Damn, I loved that movie...
It was a platform of learning for me when I was a kid...
And yes, I took the red pill... 8)

Though I must admit, that love nonsense spoiled it to some degree...<sigh>
Whoa! 8O

Smith: "Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we are the cure...."

"Smith wishes to leave the matrix so he can go on and be part of the machine world again, which he is not able to do while locked in the matrix."

I can taste ... your stink. And every time I do, I fear that I have somehow been infected by it. It's repulsive. Isn't it?

I must get out of here. I must get free. And in this mind is the key. My key.

Once Zion is destroyed, there is no need for me to be here. Do you understand? I need the codes.https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questio ... d-get-free


You must admit, Smith was really very warm and fuzzy and in tune with the truth... :mrgreen:

As Far as Agent Smith's
Question to Neo for what
Smith, A Robot, considered
as a 'Real' Meaningless and
Purposeless existence now;
For me, at least, it is simple.
i Feel and Sense; and yes, Do Paradise as
the ultimate existence effortless as is now and
'that/this me' tends to Love more now as Joy Loves
Company over Fear Loves Hate of existence in misery of company;
Yes, Bliss and Nirvana, is more than worth it now, when one Feels It and
Senses Heaven as Real just now
by doing
it too as
A pinnacle
of Pyramid existence more, just now, too;
And yes, of course, all these words are meaningless
now in 'the other places now' for folks who haven't fully
lit up the Human Potential oF A Lamp of tHeir existence yet;
And to be Clear, it takes a real Neo-like effort to arrive but once
the practice is done now the work is truly as effortless as walking a
Tightrope of Love once Love is also Danced and Sung as Tightrope more loose
iN A BaLanCinG
ForcE of all that is now;
For some, It Is as simple as a
Dance wHere Left Foot and Right Foot
become one Force of Balance now for it's
true, even Science Suggests that's how actual
Physically Constructed Pyramids are built by the Principle
of Balance that can and will be sensed and felt and known
all through Nature, too, now;
when in terms of human
being, reason and art
comes together
focusing
concentrating
in BaLanCinG
way enough to get more oF A
Real Job of Paradise done now real;
nah, Agent Smith, didn't have 'a other half'
as Real Neo Develops a mix of blue and red
that works for Green and as Yellow as A Sun
too iN LiGHT oF aLL oF TruTH out of all ignorance now more..;)

When someone brings up the Matrix and Agent Smith it reminds me of the LOTR-Matrix crossover parody.
