I bring this up because it’s been annoying me for the better part of a week. Recently someone claimed that the window between one world and another in the 1999 movie The Matrix, as it relates to Thomas Anderson/Neo, is when he is taken into the Nebuchadnezzar, after being awakened and flushed from his vat. It is possible that I have misunderstood what was being communicated, however I don’t think that was the case.
It is a well known that the point where Thomas Anderson/Neo actually enters the “real world” in his vat of jello is this scene from the script.
It is here where the camera follows the liquid mirror down his throat, this dark passageway. Next we see Neo awaken in his vat. Another website has a similar statement.
Call it whatever you want - the passageway, the doorway, the window, the porthole, cat door, et al. It is there and not elsewhere that the viewer and Neo go into the real world. QED.
