Preexisting condition

"You have the look of a man who believes what he sees, because he is expecting to wake up." --Morpheus speaking to Neo-- Does this mean that Neo already knows the Matrix is false, on a subconcious level, and that this is how he came to Morpheus's attention? Did all the people who were freed know that the world they were living in was false, at least on some level?

  1. they might all have some part of them that knew or believed that it was fake but ddnt reolize it or just ddnt believe it at the time. before Morphious told them of course.

  2. I dont think that Neo thinks the Matrix is false now but just getting used to it. Also, I believe Morphius was searching for Neo or "the One" for a very long time and this is how he came into his attention.

  4. Neo, an expert computer software programmer/hacker, found out about morpheus and company by searching for the matrix, which he had some vague idea of since the beginning of his life.
