Yeah, even tho he is "out" of the matrix, he still was playing his part in it, while believing he was seizing control of his life. I thought that this swap of hand was foreshadowing of some sort.

It could just be me overthinking a simple reflection. Maybe unintentional, but still very cool nonetheless.

In a sense yes, but Neo also went off the path and chose Trinity over Zion, which never happened before.

I might be going to far in my interpretation, yes. But it does seems like early symbolism about the illusion of choice. Blue, red, left, right, all the choices that Neo thinks he have without a clue that his path is already set before him.

This scene is marvelous indeed. Love it!

I believe the movies follow a sequence: the first he believes (erronously) that he have a choice. In the second, he finds out he never had one. And in the third, he makes one.

I believe the movie makes a good point about the difference between choice and control. At the end of the movies he have no control. But he makes the choice to save Trinity. Choice, withouth control. "What will really break your mind, is what would have happened if I had'nt said anything".

Not consciously, no. But he still believes in a bigger lie that is control and choice. Choice by the way, he never had. He was always meant to be the one. As the oracle says: "It seems like you are waiting for something".

In this scene he picks the red pill to wake up, but only later on the movie (after his death) he trully understands the reality of the matrix. Until then he just takes the red pill to have control of his life. So he changes one lie for another, in a sense.

In a sense, he picks the red pill to keep dreaming about the illusion of control. Thus the reflection "hand swap". He picks the red pill to keep dreaming.

Edit: Idk man, once I though a little bit about it, it seemed so obvious.

I'm desperate to find anyone else that found the same conections that I did. It's a very fast scene so most people don't really look into it. I'm trying to bring attention to the topic to see what else people thinks of this. Maybe I'm over analyzing, but my intuition says it's deliberate foreshadowing.

Edit: To awnser your question, I found nothing on this topic. Nothing!

I now, I'm just pointing out that Neo takes the red pill expecting to obtain control of his life, only to fall into the unpredictable and uncontrollable machinations of fate. Thus, the "reflections swap". He takes the red pill expecting to wake up, only to find out that the "dreams" goes deeper than the matrix.

I understand the reflection is correct. I'm actually talking about the symbolism in the reflection.
