Time between The Matrix and Matrix Reloaded

**GamiSB**

How long was the gap? I always thought that it was six months has hinted at by morpheus but i've also heard that it's two years. Can anyone clarify this?

Six months sounds about right.
Morpheus: "Consider what we have seen, Councillor. Consider that in the past 6 months we have freed more minds than in 6 years. This attack is an act of desperation. I believe very soon the prophecy will be fulfilled and this war will end."

I guess he refers to the point where Neo became the One, and started counting months from there.

Any discrepancies in the timeline I put down to the Machines altering or resetting the Matrix's internal calendar...maybe it's 2006 to us, but the bluepills think it's only 2003.

well I wasnt talkig about in the matrix but the actual time in the "real world" that goes between the first two movies. We know that in the first mvoie it spans over a year and the second and third are 72 hours. but we dont know the time between 1 and 2 which seems odd.

Im not sure about this...cos he could just be generalising saying that from one point in time.((when he says this)) that they have freed more ppl ....

This doesnt mean it has been six months since Neo became the one... it could be anytime.

for example.. ""in the last siz months i have severed this many customers at work""

Hope this makes sense..its late here..

The cast & crew sayed it was 6 months in interviews.

6 months seems a reasonable time span, and is what is widely regarded as 'canon'.

2 years is far too long - both for the machines to attack Zion, for the machines to allow the One to survive, for Smith to escape deletion and find his way back into the Matrix, and for the Oracle to give Neo his purpose.

**Aquatium.**

Yea same, always ran under the theory of 6 months.

**Nicksie**

And don't forget Neo and the whole thing with him wondering what it is he is supposed to do now, and hoping to hear from the Oracle soon! If it was 2 years he might have given up on all that hope by then SMILEY

Well to me it sounds like Morpheus is refering to a change that they didn't have for 6 years. That change can obviously only be Neo.

"in the last siz months i have severed this many customers at work"
This is not the same sentence, it should be:
"In the last six months we have served more customers than in the 6 years."

Your sentence mentions a change which can be either positive or negative, while my sentence mentions a positive change (which is the same as the line Morph said), thus I refer to a point from where it has changed and to a point 'what' caused the change. Hence me saying Morpheus refers to a change that made them free more minds.
