Neo - A New Level of Human-Evolution

Rating: 3/10 (20 May 2003)

SPOILER ALERT!!! Yeah, I know, it sounds crazy. I watched the movie on its opening night and I didn't like it: too many corny lines and too many lengthy and useless scenes. However, the more i think about it, the more questions I have. So I watched it again tonight and I think this explanation is the best I can think of. Here it goes. Let me give out the end first: Version 1: All machines and all humans are dead and destroyed. The Matrix is destroyed as well. Neo is the only survivor, but he is not "human" anymore. He finish another level of evolution a higher "being". In the dark, he says, "Let there be light." Then there is light, and he thinks it is good... Version 2: All machines and all humans are dead and destroyed. The Matrix is destroyed as well. Neo and Trinity are the only survivors, but they are not "human" any more. They finish another level of evolution and become a higher "being". They make love on the ground and they call the place Eden... Both are acceptable endings, I think.
Here is a more detailed explanation:
The relationship between human and machine in the movie is really a metaphor for the relationship between human and the God. After listening and thinking twice about the lines of the Oracle and the Architect, I am more and more sure about this.
Human created God first for their own comfort just like human created machine first for their own ease. However, human became intellectually restrained by the God just as people became dependent on machine. Then God took over and "controlled" human just like machine taking over and "framed" in the Matrix. In essence, it is a procedure of self detachment. Human detached "mathematical perfection and logic" from "human nature". the first part became the God and machine and the second part became "chemical responses" and "emotional instability". But in fact the were and are supposed to be unified.
Therefore, the level of human, is constrained by this constant conflict between "mathematical perfection (logic)" and "human nature", which is generated by a self detachemnt (creation of God and Machine)
In order to end this conflict and the eternal incarnation generated by this conflict as narrated by the Architect, Neo has to re-unify the two. There are two solutions: the first is a peaceful unification and the second is destruction of both. However, since first it doesn't look like all the human in Zion are going to have the ability to understand this (considering the rave scene and Morpheus's "belief") and second the machine is not capable of breaking its original purpose (and thirly because they are making a movie), I predict that they will all die with the destruction of the matrix, which is a metaphor for the break of human-god relationship. Then human, as a being with mathematic logic and primitive nature unified again, will evolve to a new level.
Ok, enough bull***t.
BTW, one of my endings is inspired by Neon Genesis Evangelian
