The One

The setting: inside a hotel corridor, in front of room 303. Agent Smith has emptied his magazine into Neo's chest, killing him. Neo is down, but, outside the Matrix, in the Nebuchadnezzar, Trinity whispers to him that she believes he is the One and kisses him.

Suddenly, Neo wakes up. Like Sleeping Beauty —a reference here to a fairy tale, with Neo as principal character. 

Resurrection.

Like Jesus
Like a "savior", born again to save the human race, to redeem Zion —another biblical reference. He is the man announced by the prophecy.
Hasn't the oracle said that he would have to wait for his next life...?

Neo slowly stands up. But he does not seem very surprised to see himself alive. The ones who are stunned are certainly the three agents. There is also a man who is relieved to see the confirmation of his good choice: Morpheus.

The agents strike back, shooting at Neo. "There is no spoon", nor the bullets shot by the agents. Neo knows his power, that he can now control, and stops the bullets in mid-air. Picking one of them, he realizes how fake the Matrix is... This is the reason of his easy and ultimate fight against Agent Smith: he has been assigned a mission and no one will stop him... because he is The One.
