What was so hard to understand about the Matrix?

>>7077948
you should have seen the first one.. first

too deep for you

>>7077964
I did. I understood most of it right up until the Architect, then my mind unravelled.

The future is virtual reality.

>>7077968
Christ, that is so unfunny.

the humans cannot defeat the machines and the machines need the humans to survive. So it's all a fucking waste of time.

Maybe that's what was supposed to happen.

I could never really wrap my head around it either. Too many loose ends I thought were important, I guess.

Still don't understand why Trinity had to die.

Zion and "the real world" is just a second layer of the Matrix, it was created for those who "free" themselves from the first layer. This also explains why Neo can see the code in the "real world".

Nah see, the Matrix movies made perfect sense. They were both entirely Dependant on each other, Humans needed the Machines, and than the Machines needed Humans. The revelations of 'The One' was a mathematical mistake that could not be rectified by the architect, despite trying countless times, the same anomaly kept recurring, thus changes in the Matrix had to incur. These changes was to make it more life like, more real, as to what we conceive life to be now - suffering with a chance of happiness. The problem though, was that the anomaly of The One also arose simply because of humans willingness and un-suppressing ability to break free from slavery, from their reality to find truth. Therefore, The One served a purpose to simply renew the cycle, as there was no way to defeat the machines, and the machines could not annihilate the humans because it would destroy their energy source ( they were scared that to destroy the One, could destroy humans willingness to live etc in the confines of the Matrix)

Thus The One's purpose was to renew Zion's existence, and restart. This had been going on for hundreds of years. The one difference though, was Agent Smith. A rogue program who had broken free of his bios, and eventually wreaked havoc on the Matrix by pretty much creating a virus that would destroy all humans consciousness in the Matrix ( therefore killing all humans and the machines energy source) Neo was the only solution to the problem, as he manifested powers beyond anything else, his powers were exact same as Agent Smith

He had the powers to 'hack' the Matrix, which essentially is all he was doing, something which all but one machine was uncapable of doing as it was not in their bios, their structure, their construct

Therefore, in concluding my essay, Neo made a bargain to save the Matrix to allow Zion to continue to survive, and allow them to free any humans wanting to be free, while the others lived in virtual peace.

If the machines had the energy to feed humans and run the matrix, they could have used that energy to just power themselves.

B+

>>7078397
Humans create a shit load of energy, more than what came from supporting the Matrix.

>>7078462
>implying the opposite of entropy

>>7078462
The machines don't need that energy, the ones in Zion don't need any human farms at all to run and the big bad machines surely would have the knowledge of Zion technology.

>>7078516
Zion was small time....like really fucking small times, i am guesstimating that their source of energy was extremely limited, but yes i don't think that was said in the movies

>>7078214
Then what if you break free from zion?

>>7078610
You become the Matrix.

>>7077948

Me neither.

Okay, so it's the end of the movie (it's on TV right now, I assume that's why this thread was made) and I'm just not geting it. I missed the middle chunk, but still.

Explanation? Interpretations?
