The 1999 film, used in dialogue 73 as a partial image for the tech body. Bob takes the Agent Smith swarm as a picture of its aggressive aspect and then immediately marks the film's limit: the tech body's more characteristic mode is not assault but provision, which is why he ends on "it's a lover" rather than on the fight scene.

Supplies only half a picture and is corrected in the same breath — the film gives the tech body's aggression but misses the coddling that Bob says is the more important face

The film is credited with only a beginning — the replication swarm gets the multiplicity right, which is what makes the missing half, the coddling, worth naming immediately after.

"where Agent Smith, you know, hundreds of them will pile on Neo, that is a beginning of the aggressive part of the Tech Body."
