and if you did not understand what the hell it was, this will make more sense

Matrix, Reloaded & Revolutions Explained Here

Yes ive spammed this.. so now heres an official topic to flame!?!? If it
ever gets read. Im sick of all these idiots saying its a crap film when they
dont understand it.. and what you read below is probably only 60% of it.


Neo is a machine, kinda. He is a human with enhanced genetics, enhanced
implants, and a machine programmed mind (probably based on a "The One"
template program). That's why, at the end of Revolutions, when his body is
being taken away, he is shown as an orange glow. The orange glow is how the
machines see each other, and therefore how they see Neo. It is also how Neo
sees Smith inside Bane... he is seeing the machine program of Smith inside
Bane's mind, and therefore it is an orange glow in the shape of the Smith.

But the orange glow isn't the only reason to believe Neo is a machine.
Throughout the trilogy other hints are given, such as: "His neural kinetics
are way above normal.", "He's a machine.", " Your five predecessors were by
design based on a similar predication...", etc.

So if Neo is a machine, why was he created (as all machines must have a
purpose)? He was created by the Oracle and the Architect to be The One. As
the Architect explains to him: "Your life is the sum of a remainder of an
unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the Matrix... Your five
predecessors were by design based on a similar predication, a contingent
affirmation that was meant to create a profound attachment to the rest of
your species, facilitating the function of The One... The function of The
One is now to return to the Source, allowing a temporary dissemination of
the code you carry, reinserting the prime program."

Translated, the Architect is explaining that Neo was designed to be a
religious figure to the freed humans, thus causing them to put their faith
(hope) in Neo and to rally around him ("...sum of a remainder...". This
helps to ensure that the freed humans are focused on Neo instead of war, and
to keep them all together in one place, Zion (which was built by the
machines for this purpose also). Neo is a form of control in the real world.

And just to make sure that Neo carries out his part of their plan, the
machines programmed him with "... a contingent affirmation that was meant to
create a profound attachment to the [humans]." This, along with his enhanced
abilities and the "guidance" of the Oracle, keeps him on the intended
course.

The Architect also states that "The function of The One is now to return to
the Source, allowing a temporary dissemination of the code you carry,
reinserting the prime program." This simply means that The One program in
Neo's mind is the most important (prime) program in the Matrix, and that now
that his mission (purpose) is complete, he must return to the source for
deletion (all machines must have a purpose). The phrase "... temporary
dissemination..." means that the The One program will be used again in the
next version of the Matrix. This is also why Neo's choice of the left door
will destroy the Matrix, as there can be only one The One in the Matrix at
any time. By staying in the Matrix Neo is preventing it from being reloaded,
as a reload will do nothing without another The One for the next version.
(In programming terms he is the highest priority task, and he will not
release the Matrix program's main semaphore.)

OK, so The One is a human with enhanced genetics, enhanced implants, and a
machine programmed mind, and was created by the Oracle and the Architect to
carry out a specific purpose (form of control in and out of the Matrix) in
each iteration of the Matrix. Now let's see how The One fits in with the
entire story of the trilogy.

As is explained, the Matrix was created by the Architect, at the end of the
war with the humans, as a way to control the humans and use them as a power
source (I know, hard to believe...). The first Matrix was "... quite
naturally perfect, it was a work of art, flawless, sublime.", while the
second Matrix was redesigned "... to more accurately reflect the varying
grotesqueries of your nature." Basically Heaven and then Hell. In both
cases, however, no conscious choice was given to the humans as to whether or
not they wanted to believe in the reality of the Matrix. This caused the
majority of humans to reject the Matrix and die (" ... whole crops were
lost.".

To solve this problem the Oracle was created, and realized correctly that
the humans needed to be given a choice: " Thus, the answer was stumbled upon
by another, an intuitive program, initially created to investigate certain
aspects of the human psyche... she stumbled upon a solution whereby nearly
99.9% of all test subjects accepted the program, as long as they were given
a choice, even if they were only aware of the choice at a near unconscious
level." So by giving humans a choice, even at an unconscious level that only
0.1% are ever aware of, they accepted the Matrix.

Unfortunately for the machines, however, a majority of the 0.1% who were
aware of the choice usually chose the real world over the Matrix. "While
this answer functioned, it was obviously fundamentally flawed, thus creating
the otherwise contradictory systemic anomaly, that if left unchecked might
threaten the system itself. Ergo, those that refused the program, while a
minority, if unchecked, would constitute an escalating probability of
disaster." The machines therefore also needed a way to control the 0.1% of
the humans who chose the real world over the Matrix, thus Zion and The One
were created.

As was explained earlier, Zion was built by the machines to ensure that the
freed humans would all gather in one place, and The One was created to be
their religious figure, helping to distract them from renewed war with the
machines. Both forms of control.

But even with Zion and The One, the unpredictability of choice ("systemic
anomoly" still forced the machines to occasionally "reload" the Matrix. This
always occurs when The One reaches the Source, which he can only do after
attaining the level of power necessary for him to defeat the Merovingian,
obtain the Keymaker, etc. The One program is then temporarily reinserted
into the Source (machine mainframe), in preparation for the next iteration
of the Matrix. In the process the machines gain the knowledge and
experiences of The One, allowing them to better predict the future behavior
of the humans, and thus reduce the systemic anomolies.

So that is the situation at the start of the sixth iteration of the
choice-Matrix. Luckily for the humans, however, the Oracle does not want
them to be enslaved in the Matrix any longer, or for the freed humans to be
killed. She therefore decides to take a risk and use Neo to bring about a "
revolution".

In M1 (The Matrix) she meets with The One, Neo, as she has done in the five
previous iterations of the Matrix. Normally she simply helps guide The One
to his meeting with the Architect. Except this time the Oracle gives Neo a
special cookie, which he eats. The cookie isn't actually a cookie, though,
it's an upgrade to Neo's program. Since the Oracle created the The One
program, she can predict exactly what Neo will do in the future,
specifically how he will destroy Smith (from the inside, with some copying
from Neo to Smith occuring). She therefore includes in the program upgrade
code that will give Smith the ability to replicate himself, and for Neo and
Smith to see the future as she does.

In M2 (The Matrix Reloaded) Neo plays out his role as The One, meeting with
the Architect. However, due to his love for Trinity he chooses the left
door, preventing the Matrix from reloading. This was seen in advance by the
Oracle, as she has the ability to predict Neo's behavior (as explained
above) as well as human behavior in general (due to the nature of her
program). She therefore told Trinity that she would fall in love with Neo
(in M1), all the while knowing it would eventually cause Neo to choose the
left door.

In M3 (The Matrix Revolutions) the Oracle's plan comes to fruition. While
the machines begin their assualt on Zion (for the sixth time), Smith
continues to replicate himself throughout the Matrix. Neo, on the otherhand,
is stuck in the train station. Apparently, fulfilling his mission to meet
with the Architect unlocks some section of his program that allows Neo to
use his enhanced implants to once again become part of the machine
collective (perhaps because of the Oracle's upgrade?). He is therefore able
to sense and control other machines wirelessly. The first example of this is
when he stops the sentinels at the end of M2. Since he is not quite ready to
use his new abilities, however, his program gets stuck at the security
checkpoint of the Matrix, the train station.

In the train station Neo meets with Rama Kandra, his wife, and their
daughter Sati. Rama and his wife are both machines from the real world who
can jack into the Matrix, like all other machines, and live human lives.
Sati is a program created by these two machines out of love, which Rama
explains to Neo is not out of the grasp of the machines. They are on their
way back into the Matrix to leave Sati with the Oracle for safe keeping, as
any program without a purpose is deleted.

After being rescued from the train station by Trinity, Morpheus, and Seraph,
Neo is helped out of the Matrix using the standard jack. While aboard the
Hammer he has another vision of the future, this time of the three power
lines leading from the Matrix power station to 01, the machine city (he is
able to see the power lines due to his newfound connection to the machine
collective). He therefore takes the Logos, along with Trinity, and leaves
for 01. Along the way he confronts the stowaway Bane (who has the Smith
program inside of him), and is blinded by him. Although blind, Neo is still
able to see other machines (orange glow), including the Smith program inside
Bane, which he uses to defeat Bane. He also uses his power to control other
machines to detonate the bombs fired at the Logos by the 01 defenses.

Meanwhile Smith is replicating out of control in the Matrix, and eventually
confronts the Oracle after taking over Seraph and Sati. They have a brief
conversation in which he calls her "Mom", referring to the fact that she
helped to create him (along with the Architect) as well as Neo (part of his
program now). The Oracle then tells Smith to "Do what you came here to do.",
so he takes over her as well. The newly formed Smith then stands up and
laughs hysterically, foreshadowing the events at the end of the movie.

Eventually the Logos crashes in 01, but not before Neo gets a top-down view
of the orange glowing city with his newfound machine-vision (notice the
fractal patterns). Unfortunately Trinity is killed in the crash, and
explains to Neo that both of them have been living on borrowed time. Neo
since he was ressurected by Trinity, and Trinity since she was ressurected
by Neo. Both are meant to die and Trinity is simply happy for the oportunity
this time to tell Neo how she feels about him. (But shame on the brothers
for killing off Trinity in such a lame way. Couldn't she have at least died
trying to save the ship, not just letting it crash!)

Neo then leaves the Logos and enters the machine building into which it
crashed (the building is seen in the same orange glowing machine-vision). He
is then confronted by the Deus Ex Machina, who knows that Neo is the only
one who can stop Smith from destroying the Matrix, but still shows hatred
toward Neo (due to the fact that he is mostly human). After a show of force,
the Deus Ex Machina agrees to peace with the humans in exchange for Neo's
promise to destroy Smith. This causes the sentinels to halt their attack on
the Zion temple, the last holdout of the remaining humans (the dock and city
have already been destroyed).

The machines then jack Neo into the Matrix, since he has not yet masterred
the ability to do so wirelessly (this theme of Neo having to learn to use
his new abilities runs throughout the trilogy). Neo then confronts Smith,
who says he has seen the future, and that he (the one particular Smith) is
the one that defeats Neo. The other Smiths (all of the other people in the
Matrix have now been taken over by him) therefore only watch as the fight
begins.

After a brutal battle Neo is near defeat, but continues to fight. When asked
why he does so, Neo responds " Because I choose to.", echoing the theme in
M2 that "Everything begins with choice." (the only way humans achieve true
freedom). But even though he delivers a stunning punch to Smith which sends
him through the ground, Neo is eventually defeated. Before Smith takes him
over he pauses, however, realizing that he has seen this very moment in his
visions, and he already knows what he is going to say. " Everything that has
a beginning has an end..." he mutters confusedly. This causes Neo to realize
that the Oracle still exists somewhere inside of Smith, and that she is
partially able to control his thoughts. Taking his cue from the Oracle, Neo
freely gives himself to Smith.

Thus Neo is defeated, and Smith's original purpose, to defeat The One (which
he is never really expected to achieve, which leads to his bad temperment)
is accomplished. Smith therefore no longer has a purpose and must be
deleted. But since programs marked for deletion must return to the source,
how is Smith to be deleted? Simple, the machines send the command through
Neo, into Smith, using a burst of energy. This causes all of the Smith
clones, and the original Smith, to be deleted, leaving the original
inhabitants of the bodies he has taken over (this is a basic function of the
agent programs, that they leave their hosts as they found them, with death
being the only exception).

This then completes another revolution in the Matrix cycle, as The One has
reached the Source and has reinserted the prime program (Neo's program, his
knowledge and experiences). The Matrix is then reloaded back to it's initial
state, the late 20th century.

The Oracle then meets with Sati, Seraph, and the Architect in a park outside
the city as the sun rises over it. The Architect tells her that she was
playing a "very risky game", and she asks him if he will honor the promise
of peace. He says that he will, since he is not human (meaning humans do not
keep their promises, an insult). This means that those people who
unconsciously become aware of the Matrix and choose to leave will be freed,
and those living in Zion will not be killed. The war between man and machine
is over, or at least suspended.

Looking upon the sunrise the Oracle asks Sati if that was her doing, and the
girl responds that she did it for Neo (made the sun rise). Apparently Neo's
experience with love, which was uploaded from him to the Source, caused the
machines to show pity on Sati and give her a purpose instead of deleting
her. She is now in control of the sun. Sati also asks the Oracle if they
will ever see Neo again, and the Oracle replies that they might, indicating
that the The One program will be used again in the future, as it had been
for the previous six iterations of the Matrix. M3 therefore ends where M1
began, except that now the humans who become aware of the Matrix will be
freed (a decent compromise if you ask me).

I have seen it. Animatrix is cool. SOme parts explain the movie better. Animation of some is awesome. Like the hot chick sword-fighting with the black guy.

I am a major matrix fan, but was hughely dissapointed by the 3rd and last part of the Matrix - Matrix revolutions.

I hope they would just scrap that movie and make another one.

But Matrix 1 is still probably one of my top 5 movies of all time.
