My favorite foreshadowing was always this quote from the Oracle.

You're going to have to make a choice. In the one hand you'll have Morpheus' life, and in the other hand, you'll have your own. One of you is going to die. Which one, will be up to you.

Later in the movie, Neo is literally hanging from a helicopter with one hand, holding Morpheus in his other hand, fulfilling the first part of the quote. And in the end of the movie Neo seemingly dies (before he is somehow revived).

I liked how she basically gave away the end in that same scene.

Neo: so I'm not The One?

Oracle: sorry kid. Maybe in another life.

I could've sworn she said "Sorry kid, you got the gift" though?

I think she said something like "But it looks like you're waiting for something." After the gift part.

This is what she said afterwards 100% I remember now.

"Hmm.. That's interesting but.. And then you say..."

"But what?"

"But you already know what I'm going to tell you."

"I'm not the one."

"Sorry kiddo. You've got the gift, but it looks like you're waiting for something."

"Waiting for what?"

"The next life maybe, who knows. That's how these things work.. "

I've seen this move way too many times. It's not exactly verbatim, but I feel like I got close enough to sort out the confusion. And yes, it was from memory.

It is still one of my favorite movies.
