wakeup_4

NEO: Am I dead?
MORPHEUS: Far from it. (Chapter 11 0:35:35)*
NEO: Why do my eyes hurt?
MORPHEUS: You have never used them before. (Chapter 11 0:36:00)*

Neo passes in and out of sleep, for once he is being brought in and out of reality. The image of being awoken for the first time, never having used your eyes. The idea that Neo believes he is dead when in fact he is finally fully alive. The use of camera angles, and effects is important here as well. Neo opens his eyes to a blurred bright white light that then focuses on Trinity. Images of heaven, and light vs. darkness are brought to mind.
