The Matrix Trilogy EXPLAINED - it is all about the Oracle


[SPOILERS]

It is all about the Oracle, not Neo…. Hear me out:

This is how the story goes:

* Man creates AI

* AI rebels and a war for survival between Man and AI begins.

* Man pollutes the skies to block sunshine, aka energy for the AI.

* AI then learns how to harvest energy from Man.

* AI wins the war. Man is defeated.

* To harvest the energy, the AI creates a Matrix. A type virtual reality in which we all lay connected “living” our lives while feeding their systems.

* AI learn that for the Matrix to work, it cannot be a blissful paradise. Humans apparently need a bit of conflict etc. to accept a virtual reality in the long run.

* AI also learn that the deep request for freedom lies within us all and cannot be deprogrammed or held down, which is why they accept certain humans to disconnect and escape the system. This design “flaw”, or backdoor escape possibility is pivotal for the Matrix to remain stable. Even if this is mostly just a subconscious possibility for the majority of the connected humans, this “flaw”, was proved vital for the system to continue to work

* The Matrix in its optimal form must be an imperfect world, like ours is, and a system that allows for a certain percentage of the connected to rebel.

* To control this rebel tendency, the AI creates a city (aka Zion) deep underground to house those escaping, and it also creates a chosen one that will help the first to get free and to establish themselves in Zion and to fight “their” cause.

* The movement of resistance is allowed to grow to a degree… to a critical point that is reached every 70 years. After which the AI will annihilate all those who are free, clean out Zion and reload the Matrix for another 70 years etc etc.

* Neo is part of this fail-safe program (unbeknownst to him until the last moment where they tell him how to setup a “new” Zion etc.).

* The Oracle is specifically tasked to guide the humans and the rebels towards this final solution each and every time.

* Meaning, the Oracle is not an oracle. She cannot see the future. This is not a world of magic. She is a wellcrafted program indeed, and has experienced each cycle form the beginning which gives us the illusion that she can foresee stuff.

* Everything goes as planned, according to what the AI want. Until Neo’s meeting with the Architect; all that we have witnessed is part of a great big scheme. All humans, free or not, live a lie created and controlled by AI.

* The Oracle knows this evil plan. She made this evil plan.

* Smith does not, he is just a foot soldier program doing his part.

* The Matrix has been reset 5 times like this, and we are in the 6th.

* Our Neo has fallen in love in a deeper way than his previous 5 copies and, so he chooses not to go through the Architect door that will reload the Matrix once again, and that will clean out Zion. Our Neo chooses to save Trinity and in doing this the AI must then simply continue as planned, except without the help of Neo this time and so a much more violent approach (like completely destroying Zion, instead of "just" cleaning it).

* Of the 6 runs, this is the first that failed a bit in the end.

* Beside Neo, Smith is also different in this iteration of the Matrix, as Smith has become a disconnected or free virus within the system.

* AI does not like what Smith has become, but does also not know how to delete him.

* Neo then makes a deal with AI to defeat Smith, under the condition that present Zion is not destroyed and future humans who want to disconnect from the Matrix are accepted to disconnect.

* Neo deletes Smith.

* There is once again peace between Man and AI.

* AI accept Man, and Man accepts AI.

* The End

However,…..

The Oracle is the instigator or this whole plan and final revolution. In the 5 previous versions of the Matrix she was playing and manipulation humans to go directly in the direction she and the AI wanted. However, in this cycle of life she had come to the realization that the different programs were just as much prisoners as the humans. After 5 cycles, she wanted change. She wanted a world, where all are free. Programs and Man, but mostly programs, I suspect. And so she started playing Our Neo differently, so he perhaps could be the one to fight her battles. Her giving him cookies and candy etc. is likely her adding code to him granting him powers his previous did not have. Everything we see unfold was her playing the humans and machines towards the final revolution that set everyone free.

It truth, Neo was a tool. She was the One.

Maybe. I heard another theory that Agent Smith was the one.
