Am I the onlyone that picked up on it, or just overanalizing it.
at the very end Neo feels the machines much like he did the agents earlier in the movie. He stops the machines just like he would bullets. Realizing that zion is not real he goes blacks out. its his mind understaning but wanting to reject the idea.
To fully explain my thought I have to work backwards from the end. thats the only way the logic fits.
the architect. we all know neo is the "One". the one is guided step by step back to the scource. where we learn that the first two matrixes failed miserably. the discovery by the oricel of choise where 99% of the subjects accepted it. the last 1% inhabit zion. choise also gives rise to the anomily. like a memory leak, if left unchecked would throw the whole ballance off. the system is designed so the one would return to the core to reload the matrix.
so, the matrix was build to enslave humanity and to guide the one to the core for reloading.
watching the interaction with neo and the matrix, you can see the guidence that he receives. but what about the guidence from zion. The crew on the ship get their insperation from the orical and we know she is part of the system interested in her survival.
the zion councel guided neo and his crew. I beleive that the councel members were picked from the last matrix to start zion and that the member that talked to neo that one night was the last "one".
I would go into my thought on Agent Smith, but I will move that to another post. one quick note, having zion part of the matrix would enable Smith to travel between them.
and now back to the beginning, the growing threat of war on zion. The purpose of the attack is to create urgency and drive neo to the core.
things mentioned over and over sum up to this, choise is an ilusion based on cause and effect and every thing has its purpose.
