Dwelling on top of double illumination,
strong and purposefully active,
able to illumine the inward and
also able to illumine the outward,
able to understand accord and
also able to understand reversal,
is symbolized as
a king thereby going on an expedition,
having good luck and crushing the leader of the enemy,
the captured not being the common followers
.

The true mind is like the radiance of the king;
the quality of illumination is like going on an expedition.
Illumining virtue, virtue is then illumined;
this is like having auspicious achievment.
Getting rid of the human mentality is like crushing the leader of the enemy.
Not forcibly restraining random thoughts is like not taking the common followers captive.


Using illumination to the point of illumination
crushing the leader,
then all acquired conditioning dissolves of itself
without being repulsed.
Then one is tranquil and imperturbable,
yet sensitive and effective,
illumined inwardly and outwardly,
without a trace of fault of sense.
This is illumination is that is ultimately good, without anything wrong.



from "The Taoist I-Ching", translated by Thomas Cleary

Note: I just say Matrix: Reloaded
I give it an "A"
I don't know about the ending though. It could be part of some twist for the next sequel or it might go downhill
