I liked this too. They also referenced The Wizard of Oz. It's interesting how often we use these movies in our common language (i.e. "you're not in kansas anymore", "follow the yellow brick road."). And, this movie appropriately references other movies with similiar concepts becasue those are the things people would say in those instances.

Not sure how I would've explained it to him--I guess the whole movie was more fantasy (like Star Wars) than Sci-Fi to me, so this played well into this genre for me. But, instead of prince charming bringing the damsel in distress back to life, it was the princess doing the kissing. also, I don't think we ever do hear exactly what the Oracle told Trinity, and I'm guessing that it was something like her love would save his life--so, it also plays up on that whole spiritual aspect of the Oracle knowing everyone's future anyway.
