The Ending of The Matrix Trilogy Finally Explained
video description
It's good to remember that Deus Ex Machina (that giant face Neo bargain with in the Machine City) rules machines in the real world. In the Matrix there is a Diarchy between Oracle and Architect.
The main difference between Neo and Smith is guidance. The sole role of the Oracle (as we are led to believe in the movies) in the Chosen One routine is to point a path. Smith don't partake in this, since he is a systemic anomaly. But Smith was programmed to understand humans in a manner (for me, very similar to the marxist take on ideology) and when some humanity imprinted on Neo's code infects (ohh the irony) Smith, he goes on and emulate what humanity is for him. With that bigger degree of autonomy (agency) he goes on and chooses how to proceed. He seems pretty childish doing his thing in Reloaded, doesn't? His humor changes a lot from movie 1 to 2.
Anyway, my point is: I guess Oracle is responsible for Smith anomaly too and she tampered with his code (even created him like that) deliberately. She needed to create momentum and conditions in which Neo (her creation too) could bargain with higher instances of machine ranks. She could not intervene directly in the real world, so she crafted an emissary/ace in the sleeve. She leaves Deus Ex Machina in a tight spot and he seems pretty frustrated because he was played by a program. And programs are the key to undestand Oracle motivation, she is advocating for her own kinda. It's implicit that Programs are victims for the machines bigotry. The machines are well aware that programs are sentient beings (shit hits the fan for humanity originally when I. A is created, right Morpheus) and they deliberately forces those poor bastards to kill themselves by returning to the Source! It's precisely because of it why the Merovingian thrives: programs seek him for salvation in flocks and he gets those sweet sweet informations he loves so much. He is so powerful, needed and yet so clandestine as the Italian mob where. Hell, he makes orgasm cakes for Christ sake!
Programs are silent victms, kinda like untouchables in India or Japan (maybe that is why Wacho Sis made Sati and her parents Indians wink wink.
Sorry for the rant, my wife is calling me names and demanding me to go to bed. Thanks for the great video and a space to discuss this masterpiece of storytelling that Matrix is!

im unsure how they can bring back both neo and trinity for a 4th movie. neo makes sense as he is the anomaly, the one who can mold the matrix from the inside. but we witnessed both neo and trinity die in the real world in revolutions, trinity succumbing to her wounds from all the punctures and neo sacrificing himself as the antivirus to smith the virus in his epic fight in the matrix and at that ending we see the machines lower neo's body after the antirvirus does the job and neo does not move at all in the real world and his heart finally stopped. we know from reloaded and revolutions that the architect designed the one to be another level of control. so theoretically though neo chose to save trinity and screw the rules so to speak, in another iteration of the matrix neo will come back, he is the anomaly. they also make it quite clear in revolutions that neo can come back in another iteration of the matrix, but right now the machines have reached a peace treaty with the humans allowing humans who do not wish to remain in the matrix to awake in the real world and not be a slave to the system anymore. which means the matrix will continue to exist in the 6th iteration as it stands and that neo is well and truly dead in that iteration. and since there is peace in that iteration and agent smith the rogue program got destroyed by neo ultimately acting as an antivirus to rogue agent smith the virus himself we know that the machines are going to stand by the peace ultimately because they let setti the little girl program who was created by 2 sentient programs producing offspring without purpose they understand what love really is. which means in that universe there is no 7th revision of the matrix incoming, which leaves us at this, neo and trinity are well and truly dead, having the lasting peace treaty between machines and humans in an uneasy but existing state. indeed the architect and the oracle are the yin to each others yang so they are the flipside of the same coin. they acknowledge the peace is uneasy but can last as long as the humans and machines wish it to. if the peace fails then i guess there would be a 7th iteration of the matrix at that point. they would have to cancel the peace between humans and machines and have them both destroy each other and bring about the 7th revision of the matrix in order to even accomplish this though. and considering the peace and setti and the oracle and the architect at the end of revolutions i really think they wrapped everything up,

Okay. I completely disagree.
Let me explain:
Despite what you said in your video. The real world is another level of the matrix. This is why:
At first, let me explain the whole concept of 'the one':
Let's say there's a Matrix, without the 'choice' of rebellion. A perfect, 'unperfect' world. Like the Matrix within the movie, but without the rebellion. One day, by chance, luck, whatever you want to call it, someone will notice the Matrix by 'feeling' it. That person is what they call 'the one'.
Neo, in the beginning was not the One, like the Oracle said. At least not yet. But later on he became the One/ a the One after freeing his mind by unmasking the fake reality.
Knowing of this uncontrollable anomaly, the Oracle and the Architect tried to control it, by making up a fake prophecy.
One of the many reasons of why the older versions of the Matrix wouldn't work was the lack of 'choice'. By leaving the concept of choice out of the Matrix (to force everyone in the Matrix, even tho they don't know they are in it, in combination with the occurrence of the one, eventually leads to failure.
That's why the architect build a second layer. The so called 'real world'. And together with the Oracle 'freed' a handful of people. This gave the humans a concept of choice (and a prophecy.
They had to reset the world several times, because the human population in Zion became to large, which enhanced the chance of a 'One' the pop-up in the real world.
After several times, they knew this plan would fail, so. They came up with a new plan. Enhance the 'freedom of choice' and give the humans a new concept of reality for as long as possible.
Long story short. The Oracle played everyone.
He made Neo fall in love with Trinetty to alter his choice at the 'gates of fate'. How you ask? The Oracle told Trinetty that she would fall in love with the One. Morphius was so sure that Neo was the One, that it probaly rubbed of on Trinetty in the first movie.
If my theory is true, than the humans in the 'real world' will probably discover that the real world is fake, because of the occurrence of the one. But at the moment the humans are satisfied and truly believe. So. it will probably take a really long time and a lot of 'ones' before they'll discover it. IF they'll discover it. By then, the Architect and the Oracle would probably have a new plan.

The only explanation of this film is that there is no explanation for this film. It's a film based around the ramblings of a French Communist with a psych degree on an LSD trip which was infused with 21st century techno-jargon and kung-fu to make it appealing. There is no more rational explanation for this film series than there is for Star Wars or The Terminator. There is a 'moral' to it, and there are 'INTENTIONS' of what the writers wanted people to think, but to act like this film runs from minute 1 to the end without plot holes, contradictions, or lapses in continuity, which would make it the only film in history to ever accomplish this, is simply absurd.
It's just that in the Matrix there are SO MANY contradictions and plot holes because the themes are so ethereal, whereas other films have relatively few because their themes are much more defined, that it is impossible to say which contradiction was an oversight and which contradiction was a plot concession. And this leads individuals who want to believe there is some logical, consistent continuity hidden under the murky, psycho-babble to believe that they are merely just not understanding certain themes, and if they can manage to associate two or more of these contradictions to each other then their menial lives have value.

the source is Agent Smith, which means Neo is the other side of the source, the machine world wasnt build to fight the humans cause they need humans for electric sources
agent smith was a part of the system
but after Neo beats him in the first matrix, he freeded him from the system and smith became Self-aware
than smith wanted to destroy the humans by using the machines, and the machines are not self aware, they have orders to follow
so Neo need to go to the source to end Smith control on the machine world, the only machine that Smith cannot control was the machine mainframe
so neo had to go to the machine city to convince the machine mainframe to give him a chance to stop smith from killing everyone including the total control of the machine city
the problem now is Smith was destroyd by the same way in the first movie, so probabelly he is going to come back cause he knew the rules, so probabelly he made another copy of him self and save it in another version of the matrix, and he knew he is going to be destroyd
we will see in The Matrix 4.

You forgot one point to connect it all together. Sure Neo gave his life in the end, gave in to Smith, and ultimately died. But why how did Smith die? How did Neo surrendering lead to Smith's end?
So let me tell you.
Smith was a rogue program. a virus totally unconnected to the Collective Machine. thus untouchable. This is what allowed Smith to propagate without opposition. The Machine Collective saw the effect Smith was having, corrupting the programs in the Matrix, and soon the programs in the collective, but couldn't connect with him.
So Neo, being connected with the Machine Collective (more like 'being allowed to connect') in the machine city, surrendered himself to Smith. connecting to Smith, thus connecting Smith to the Machine Collective.
That connection was merely a conduit for the Machine Collective to eradicate every Smith everywhere. Neo knew he would die, but that it was the only way for the real power (higher power) to gain control over Smith. Neo didn't beat Smith, but he made it so the Machine Collective could.
This is what you missed.

1. Neo could've stayed in zion and used his new sentinel killing mind powers to win the war for zion.
2. Whatever happened to the notion of human's being batteries for the robots? (the architect: There are levels of survival we're willing to accept. Clearly the matrix NOT being rebooted, i. e. no batteries, is a detriment to them. In the next iteration they are just willing to let any and all humans (batteries) go free?
3. Uhm. That is not how norton anti-virus disks work. It doesn't allow itself to get corrupted by the virus and then your computer explodes. I'm all for the hero/anti-hero dying, especially in shitty hollywood movies that always want a happy ending, but Neo is a hero that actually should've lived. I really thought that once agent smith fingered him (assimilated him) it was going to backfire and mr. smith would turn into a neo. I don't buy the whole neo-shows-smith-what-free-will-is and that kills smith, and neo!

So if 1999 and Zion are both created by machines. Than
1. Does it mean there is a real neo / morpheus/ trinity in the real world? Or in the real world all humans are unconscious and being use as batteries?
2. How come all these programs have feelings?
Parents programs love their daughter. The program envy trinity for kissing neo. Mr smith hate human. A computer program have feelings, how did it come about? That wasn't explained in the trilogy
3. Why the machines even care about peace in the matrix? They already control humans outside 1999 and Zion. So if someone died in zion does he also dies in the real world?
4. So programs like the key maker can be killed by gun shots? Than is it really a program or half program half human?

Sigh what a useless explanation. Its a modern day take at the story of Christ and the Wachowski brothers threw in a tonne of scifi changes to make the movies appeal to the modern 90's early 2000's generation.
Just watch the final 25 minutes again and listen carefully to the dialogue, especially when the little girl asks the Oracle if she always knew and the Oracle replies with She believed AKA I always had faith
Agent Smith represents all evil/Sin and Neo/Christ fights him and sacrifices himself for all humanity (machine and mankind alike.
. now all the sci fi fans can flame me: )
EDIT: I still think the movies are brilliant and still watch them, also reloaded and revolutions are two parts to the same movie.

1: 00. Being t'he One' wasn't programmed into Neo. The One is an anomaly which randomly occurs by chance in the Matrix.
Let me explain:
Let's say there's a Matrix, without the 'choice' of rebellion. A perfect, 'unperfect' world. Like the Matrix within the movie, but without the rebellion. One day, by chance, luck, whatever you want to call it, someone will notice the Matrix by 'feeling' it. That person is what they call 'the one'.
Neo, in the beginning was not the One, like the Oracle said. At least not yet. But later on he became the One/ a the One after freeing his mind by unmasking the fake reality.
