The Matrix Scene 17 Summary

  • And now it's time to put Neo's newfound knowledge to the test.
  • Tank loads a training program in the construct and Morpheus and Neo go at it in an old-school dojo.
  • Neo is, well, better at kung fu that you would expect a computer hacker to be, but he struggles against Morpheus because he doesn't understand that he can bend and break the rules of the program. It's just a simulation after all, and he isn't actually bound by things like real world physics and physiological needs.
  • Finally he starts to get the hang of it, but when Tank loads up the jump program, let's just say Neo falls a little flat.
  • Oh, and heads up; if you die in the Matrix you die in the real world.
