General clarification on work content. I had thought this was an example for Reloaded instead of Revolutions because of how awkwardly structured the example's wording was


* The climax of ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded'' is The Architect presenting Neo with a SadisticChoice: either Neo can save his love interest Trinity from certain death, or he can save the rest of humanity from certain extinction. Neo rejects this dichotomy and saves Trinity (literally bringing her back from the dead using his powers as The One), then insists he'll find a way to save humanity afterward, anyway. Then, in a blatant case of a TwoPartTrilogy, that plot concludes in ''Film/TheMatrixRevolutions'', set just hours after ''Reloaded''. Neo and Trinity travel to the Machine City in order to save humanity--but Trinity dies en route, and this time Neo can't bring her back. (Ironically, proving The Architect was correct that Neo couldn't save both, but wrong about how each option would play out.)
