No one can see beyond a choice they cannot understand.

Matrix Revolutions is expectedly a movie that delivers more action and resolution than the other films. Concordantly, the first few scenes displayed the struggle that humanity had against the machine invasion, and bane prowling through the real world aspirant for revenge. The explosion of success that both prequels enjoyed, justified a dignified closure that answered many of our remaining questions. We partially got that. Some holes in the plot remained unanswered, which seemed irresponsible considering the expectation people had of this movie, but some inclusions were also refreshing surprises.
Immediately in the first scenes of the movie we feel the threat looming in the dialogue and the tension rising in various characters. The human resistance in Zion was one of my favorite parts of the movie. The vibrant desire to defend the banner of one's species was palpable. The characters demonstrated in their rendition the passion and convictions that they enjoyed in their desire to defend their species, brilliantly inspired by Nathaniel Lees as Mifune. We also get the other side of the coin by experiencing characters that symbolized peace, love, sacrifice, and devotion. Sati and her family were a good metaphor of the peace of mind that one can acquire in the abyss of loneliness by reaching a state of care and compassion. The father was even willing to lie to the Trainman and risk his chances of saving his daughter in order to help a stranger: this is the state of enlightenment.
The Merovingian--the program that traffics on the why of people in the Matrix-trapped Neo in a program without any escape. Neo got impacted by a traumatizing event, where he does not understand how he was able to stop sentinels, and, subsequently, he was trapped in a program that has circular movement. The conceptual connections are interesting.
The dialogue between the architect and the oracle is another metaphor of chaos and order. The architect is the creator of order in the matrix, and the oracle is the program that creates anomalies and chaos within the order, but also the program that its purpose is to examine human psyche. The oracle was the main catalyst for the peace between the machine and humanity to end the war. In the last dialogues, before agent smith duplicated her, she repeated continually a phrase: no one can see beyond a choice they cannot understand. The architect was never actually able to perceive the abilities of Neo and agent smith; he was never able to see beyond that. The only entity that was able to perceive the peace between the humans and the machines was the all-knowing oracle.
Agent Smith was the polar opposite of NEO. He was an agent of destruction. Neo accomplished peace between the machines and the humans by the power of love, as clichÃ© as it sounds, and Agent Smith planned to self-replicate until he destroyed anyone that crossed in his way: Love vs Destruction. Ultimately, Neo by yielding to the power of the machines and sacrificing for the betterment of humanity was able to stop the extinction of humans.
