He is portrayed by Ian Bliss. Early in the film, Bane was in attendance for a meeting within the Matrix between all of Zion's fleet captains.
He helped to divert a group of Agents who interrupted the meeting and later was about to exit the Matrix when he was attacked by Smith, an Agent program that Neo had supposedly destroyed. Having transcended his original programming and evolved into a virus, Smith had become capable of imprinting himself on to anyone connected to the Matrix, whether they be programs, bluepills or redpills.
Before Bane could exit, Smith attacked and assimilated him, turning Bane's Matrix avatar into another copy of himself. For all intents and purposes, this resulted in Bane's death as his mind had essentially been erased and Smith was now able to use Bane's corrupted avatar to exit the Matrix and take control of Bane's body in the real world.
Unfamiliar with the sensations of the material world, Smith - in Bane's body - attempted to adjust by purposefully harming himself, cutting his arms with a knife to feel the sensation of pain. He had always been disgusted by the nature of humanity and inhabiting a human body only intensified his hatred and fueled his new purpose of destroying them.
While inhabiting Bane's body, Smith attempted to murder Neo in Zion, but was prevented from doing so as there were witnesses present. He would later board the Caduceus when it was deployed to initiate countermeasures against the Machines' invasion of Zion and took the opportunity to sabotage their efforts, prematurely firing the ship's EMP and disabling all of the nearby vessels, leaving them completely vulnerable as the Machines approached.
Bane would survive this attack and would later be found unconscious by the Mjolnir. Bane would regain consciousness a few hours after being picked up by the Mjolnir. As the only survivor of the massacre at the defensive line, Captain Roland was interested in questioning him, believing that he may have sabotaged the Caduceus and fired the ship's EMP.
For the sequels, Chong asserts they tried to force him into a fake SAG contract and refused to give a legal contract. Chong says at one point David Wirtschafter from the William Morris Agency, a rep for the Wachowskis, called Chong and threatened him to act in the movies because it was the only offer he'd get. The actor includes the image of a letter in which Warner Bros apparently falsely claim that they negotiated the Matrix sequels with Chong's lawyers.
Chong claims that Warner Bros wouldn't even answer his agent's calls during the time of the salary negotiations. The actor goes on to highlight how he was essentially hung out to dry by those around him. It's a surreal minute compilation in which Chong relates the story of his life and acting career up to and through making 'The Matrix' as well as the aftermath. It includes footage and stills from his various credits and ends with a surreal, frenzied collage of pictures from his youth, followed by screengrabs from news articles about those associated with the film.
Headlines detail how casting director, Mali Finn, died in , how producer Joel Silver was sued and dropped from Warner Bros, how Fishburne's daughter was arrested and how Reeves lost his wife in the years following 'The Matrix'. It's inescapably vindictive and includes a series of transphobic images highlighting how Reeves dated a transgender woman and the Wachowskis transitioned to women.
These are followed by a picture of Chong laughing. Whether any more light will be shone on this case seems doubtful. This year, Chong published a book called 'The Kill Off' which again goes into detail about what he says happened on 'The Matrix'.
It's likely that Chong's story will continue to be ignored, and it's not difficult to see why. They are there because they are not free.
He is no longer an Agent, he no longer has a purpose. Smith triess to clone himself onto Neo. Neo fights back. A fantastic fight ensues between Neo and dozens of Smiths. It is a scene filled with oodles of visual awesomeness.
More and more Smiths join the battle. It becomes too many for Neo so he gets out of there, he flies out. The Smiths walk away. Neo exits the Matrix and tells the team that there are a lot more Smiths in there. Back at Zion, the council requests for two captains to volunteer to aid the Nebuchadnezzar, to ascertain the fate of The One. Lock is frustrated but the council seems to have faith in The One. Captain Soren of the Vigilant accepts. Bane Smith suggests they should volunteer because Smith wants to destroy Morpheus and his team.
The captain asks Bane to shut up. Captain Niobe of the Logos is the second to accept. Merovingian and his wife Persephone are very old programs. They are from the early version of the Matrix. It is not made clear as to what their roles were.
But they are not mere programs of the Matrix. They are programs from the Machine World. Which means they had specific core functions in the Matrix. The Merovingian is shown to control the virtual afterlife through the train-man program this bit comes in the third part of the film. Perhaps the original purpose of the Merovingian was to handle deletion of programs in the Matrix. Persephone may have been a supporting program for this function.
At some point, Merovingian and Persephone faced deletion and went rogue. At the time, the two were in love. Notice how both of them display human traits. This could be the very result of their rogue nature. Merovingian enjoys fine French wine, he likes the French language. The Merovingian explains how the very nature of existence is cause and effect.
And that there is nothing called choice. Choice, as he quite aptly puts, is an illusion created between those with power and those without. For example, the rich and the powerful have the power to make the poor believe that they are making a choice but it is merely an illusion. The Matrix makes people feel that they have a choice, but they are slaves.
He taunts Morpheus and his team about blindly following orders from the Oracle to seek the Keymaker. Merovingian then demonstrates his point by sending a specially programmed cake to a pretty woman in the restaurant.
The cake is programmed to get the woman turned-on. She gets uncontrollably aroused and has to leave to the bathroom. Simple, cause and effect. Merovingian, the one with the power, has left the woman with no choice.
Obviously, because what Merovingian is going to do next. He stands up and excuses himself to the bathroom. He is going to go make out with the woman. The meeting ends with Merovingian saying that he will not be parting with the Keymaker. On their way out, the trio gets intercepted by Persephone. She tells them how in the beginning, it was all different. Merovingian was different. She tells them that she will give them the Keymaker in exchange for a kiss from Neo.
Odd right? Because Persephone sees the love between Neo and Trinity. She mentions that a long time ago she felt that love too from Merovingian. But things have long changed. She wants to sample the feeling of a real kiss. True love. Also, Persephone is looking to get a little revenge on Merovingian. She asks Neo to kiss her and make her believe that she is Trinity.
Neo does so. Persephone is happy and takes them to the Keymaker. In the processes, she kills one of the henchmen who is a werewolf. She shoots him in the head with a silver bullet. A werewolf, like the Oracle explained, is a program that is faulty and refuses to face deletion. She just wants sweet revenge. He is a rogue program that makes and has access to keys that provide backdoor access to a whole bunch of things in the Matrix.
More importantly, he has the key that opens the door to the source. This is why Morpheus and team need him. They get the Keymaker and head out. Merovingian is furious and asks how Persephone could betray him. She explains that it is mere causality. She explains it is because of the lipstick he is still wearing from making out with the pretty woman.
Content with her revenge she leaves. The twin ghosts who are also rogue programs go after Morpheus, Trinity and the Keymaker. Neo stands to fight the rest. After a lovely fight choreography sequence, he beats them all. Merovingian leaves closing the door behind him. That door was a backdoor too. Only Merovingian could use it to get back to where he needed.
Neo now has to fly back to the location of Morpheus, Trinity and the Keymaker. A long long way. This is the start of the most amazing car chase sequence in film history. The ghosts are after the Keymaker.
A bunch of Agents show up also looking for the Keymaker. They want to terminate him. A chase ensues. Morpheus kills the Ghosts by blowing up their car. Morpheus fights an Agent on the truck. Niobe enters the Matrix and heads to help Morpheus.
She catches Morpheus with her car as he falls off the truck. He gets back up on the truck and kills the Agent off. The two Agents drive head-on towards each other. All they have to do is crash into each other. They can kill Morpheus and the Keymaker.
As the trucks crash, in slow-motion, Neo arrives and grabs Morpheus and the Keymaker in mid-air, bringing this phenomenal sequence to a close. Now Morpheus and team have the Keymaker. The Keymaker explains how Neo can get to the source. He has the key to the source. But unfortunately, the building with the door to the source is rigged with a bomb.
But for the alarms to trigger, the building needs electricity. There is a power station that needs to be destroyed. Apart from this, the emergency power system must be deactivated. When they are all down, Neo will have a second window to open the door that leads to the source.
The Keymaker knows this information because he is a program that was built to know and maintain this information. The Keymaker is now a rogue program who feels he must help The One get to the source.
There are 3 teams and 3 tasks. If one fails, all fail. Morpheus considers it to be fate they are there. Neo asks Trinity to stay out of the Matrix.
He has seen her fall. Trinity agrees. The three teams start off. His team drops dead in the Matrix before they can deactivate the emergency power system. Morpheus, Neo and the Keymaker enter the portal with the many doors.
Trinity breaks her promise to Neo. She enters the Matrix to take down the emergency power. This is the opening scene of the film. She disables the power backup. Right after, she is attacked by Agents. At the portal, Neo, Morpheus and the Keymaker run into Smith s. Smith has also figured out the path of The One. The Matrix seems to be infested with the Smith virus all over now.
They attack and try to overwrite Morpheus. Neo fights them. The Keymaker slips through a backdoor and opens a door which leads to the source. Neo kicks his way through and flies into it with Morpheus. The Smiths begin to shoot. The Keymaker is shot and wounded badly. He points Morpheus to a door that will take him back to safety and out of the Matrix.
He gives Neo the key to the source and dies. Neo opens the door to the source. We have already discussed the essence of this conversation. The system expected Neo come to the source. He was merely an expected result of a programming flaw. Neo is the 6th such. Well, they are the various outcomes interpreted by the system. Neo : Why am l here? Architect : Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the Matrix. While it remains a burden assiduously avoided it is not unexpected and thus not beyond a measure of control which has led you, inexorably here.
Architect : Quite right. That was quicker than the others. NEOs : Others? How many? Neo : What others? Neo catches that faster than his predecessors. Architect : The Matrix is older than you know. I count from the emergence of one integral anomaly to the emergence of the next. In which case, this is the sixth version. NEOs : Five before me?
There are only two possible explanations.
