Uhm , so writing the flow events to see if i got it right 1. Animatrix 2. Machine world creates matrix 3. Architect is the guy who does this creation 4. Yet it is too perfect for 1% who ends up finding that this is a simulation 5. They become the resistance 6. Oracle feds a prophecy that there will be the one. 7. He is neo 8. The anomaly part is a bit confusing though. 9. There is cipher who will cheat resistance 10. Smiths are the protectors of matrix 11. Neo will end up killing him in the final part by letting ex machina get control over him 12. Why would ex machina help him and oracle as well to kill Smith, is it because both the worlds are in jeopardy now?
Hi Barry, are you going to write the explanation, as part of trilogy content, for resurrections in your website? Your matrix trilogy explained content in website is the best!
Hi Mamed. I saw the first show on the 22nd and published the article - www.thisisbarry.com/film/the-matrix-resurrections-explained-plot-and-ending/ Let me know what you think! Happy to know you like the Trilogy explanation.
You stated at around 3:20 that the Oracle lied to Neo. This is the furthest thing from the truth, so please allow me to explain. Firstly, let's get this out of the way. If you think carefully to remember Neos' interview with the oracle, at first glance it may seem as though the Oracle had lied to Neo, and since when does anyone take anything in The Matrix at first glance? Certainly not Neo, especially after Morpheus had been drilling it into his head that he was the one. Go back and watch that scene, if you need to. If you take care to listen to the context of the Oracles words and let that scene sink into your noodle, you'll understand that the Oracle does NOT lie to Neo. What she says is this: "You've got the gift kid but it looks like you're waiting on something. A second life, maybe." That's paraphrased from my memory. Secondly, the reason why that was not a lie, is because: 1. The Oracle tells Neo "Sorry kid, you've got the gift, but it looks like you're waiting for something". 2. "What?" Replies Neo. Are we expected to believe that the Oracle is referring to a single gift, such as... shades that won't shatter? Of course not, that would be ludicrous. However, if one cares to examine those scenes where the Oracle is talking to Neo, and carefully explaining his own truth to him, one can glean some information which is hidden in plain sight. 3. The Oracle answers thusly to Neos' question of what he's waiting for and replies with, " Your second life maybe, who knows?" 4. Neo laments out loud about Morpheus, because at this time he has been told by the Oracle that he is not the one, but Morpheus continues to believe it. 5. The Oracle also laments, and says, "Poor Morpheus. Without him, are lost." 6. "What do you mean?" Neo asks the Oracle. 7. " Morpheus believes in you, Neo. And no one, not me, not you, not anyone will convince him otherwise". Now the Oracle offers to Neo the hard data of the actual prophecy that he was brought before the Oracle to hear. 8. "He believes it so blindly that he's going to sacrifice himself to save you." 9. " You'll have to make a choice. In one hand you hold the gate of Morpheus, in the other hand you hold your own. One of you is gonna die, and it will be up to you to decide who dies." This is the real issue. What choice will Neo make? Well, as it turns out, Neo decides - FUCK IT! And chooses a third option - to save both of their lives, which he does. CONCLUSION Once more I'll break down why exactly the Oracle is NOT lying to Neo. Oracle: "Sorry kid, you've got the gift, but you seem to be waiting for something." Neo: "What? What am I waiting for? " Oracle: "Your next life, perhaps." Neo: "He almost had me convinced." Lake: " I know. Or Morpheus - without him, are lost. " And I've already gone over the specific conversation between the Oracle and Neo. The actual conversation in which the oracle discloses the information to Neo it's about who will die, and Neo must decide. At trader value, it does seem like the Oracle is lying to Neo, until the actual reason uncovers itself in order to tell Neo why he had to have an interview with the Oracle in the first place. The specific things told to Neo by the Oracle may seem like lies, because the audience has grown to expect Neo to become the one. And for the Oracle to completely contradict that prophecy, it immediately seems like the Oracle lied to Neo, as not very many people are really attempting to translate the first conversation between Neo and the Oracle, because that would make The Matrix a thinkin' mans' movie. And men don't like to think. As she sends Neo away, and after delivering the REAL prophecy - that either Neo or Morpheus just die, and it's up to Neo to decide which it will be - himself, or Morpheus - the Oracle gives Neo a cookie. Now, it's never been said out right that things inside the Matrix, like cookies or food or other deliberate experiences, will cause changes in the programming of the human who is being kept in the state of sleeping slavery... but it's a good bet that the cookies given to Neo contained some essential code, necessary for priming Neo to make a third choice, and also to facilitate himself into the One. When Neo leaves his interview with the Oracle, he believes that she has confided in him that he is not the one who Morpheus thinks he is. He leaves thinking that he is not the fulfillment of a prophecy to become the one, based on one man who will rise up and free the humans from the Matrix and gather the surviving humans in order to fight the ultimate battle with the machines. After Neo leaves his interview with the oracle, he still has some residual beliefs that he just might have some of the powers of the One, because Morpheus believes so much in him that Neo was even beginning to believe before his interview with the Oracle. Oh, and by the way, Neo actually does rescue Morpheus AND himself from a seemingly impossible situation. Now if that ain't the one manifesting as reality, there's no such thing as the one. Despite being told by the Oracle that he is not the one, Neo still stands his ground against agent Smith and survives... An unprecedented action which had never been accomplished before. That is, Neo fought an agent and lived, when every single person who has ever stood their ground against an agent has died. Neo is the only one known to have survived an encounter with an agent without dying. After Neo survives his battle with agent Smith in the subway, he flees the underground train station until he makes his way to a room with a closed door, with a phone is heard ringing from inside the room. Neo believes that if he goes into that room and answers the phone, he will be released from the Matrix and find himself on board the Nebuchadnezzar. . . . GET READY! GIRD YOUR LOINS! TRY TO REMEMBER WHAT LOGIC IS! . . . Now! The logic behind the reason that the Oracle DID NOT lie to Neo is discernable because Neo merely need to interpret what the Oracle said at the beginning of the interview. In fact, she told him the most pure and honest truth of Neos' life. Allow me to quote the Oracle once more. "You've got the gift kid." This is the first indication that the Oracle was telling Neo the truth. "But it seems like you're waiting on something. A second life, maybe." Neo is in fact waiting on a second life. Literally. Whenever Neo was killed in The Matrix by agent Smith whenever he entered the room to answer the phone, agent Smith is there and pumps him full of lead, and Neo really does die. But Trinity whispers In his ear, "When I visited the Oracle, she said that I would fall in love with the one. So you can't be dead. Because I love you." Neos' heart starts again with a spectacularly strong beat, and Neo immediately stands up after being shot and killed. What had happened when Smith shot him was that Neos' first life as Thomas Anderson ended, and his second life as the one called simply Neo begins. Neo can see the pure code of the Matrix as the green characters which are always moving, like at Cyphers' station on board the Nebuchadnezzar. Smith and the other two agents try to shoot him again, but Neo simply says... "No." He then raises his hand and stops the bullets in midair, before all of the bullets fall harmlessly to the floor. Smith is furious with rage at his win being pulled out from under him, and he advances in order to fight Neo with fisticuffs. While agent Smith is obviously trying his best to fight Neo, one to one, Neo uses only one hand to casually hold back Smiths' attack. It is NOW that Neo believes he is the one, and that his victory over Smith becomes absolute. Also, Neo likely had a passing thought regarding the Wiley ways of the 'Truth' of the Oracle. After tiring of a one handed fight, Neo grabs agent Smith by the arm, effectively stopping Smiths' attack. Neo then kicked Smith with a very stylish side kick toward the end of the corridor, where the other two agents are waiting and then fled before Neos' power. Agent Smith tries one more charge, but Neo jumps horizontally toward Smith and actually enters his digital code, where Smith exploded and was destroyed, with several boats of Smiths coffee flying everywhere. It is now that Trinity urges Neo to wake up, because the sentinels are on top of the ship and are cutting holes in the hull with high powered laser beams. Some of them have already entered the hovercraft, and Neo answers the ringing phone just in time for Morpheus to execute the EMP weapon, saving everyone on the Nebuchadnezzar. So. If you were of the opinion that the Oracle was lying to Neo, and then went ahead and read this entire thing anyway, PROVING that the Oracle didn't lie, then KUDOS! Award yourself an IQ point!
So happy to know there are hard core fans of the movie like you. If we ever met, it would be an awesome discussion on the film and the extended possibilities. Everything you've said is the right thing. However, this video I made was for a casual viewer who wanted a summary of all three films before going into Resurrections. It's easier to understand it as a lie in the context of a summary. It had been too much of a gap since the trilogy. For the detailed break downs, I'd always recommend the full articles - www.thisisbarry.com/film/the-matrix-1999-movie-plot-simplified-ending-explained/ (You'll like this better)
It's a threat that the machines make to all the anomalies. When put in the position of choosing the lives of everyone in the world (plugged into the Matrix) vs the life of only the people of Zion, the previous anomalies picked choosing the lives of everyone in the Matrix. The One's code is used reset the Matrix as this is used by the machines to try and avoid the emergence of the anomaly. The humans plugged into the Matrix are in danger because the machines are willing to terminate everyone and start from scratch with a small set of humans. If The One doesn't agree to the destruction of Zion, it will result in the machines killing almost every human connected to the Matrix. Neo loves Trinity, so he chooses Zion over the rest of the Matrix in the belief that there must be another way.
So- the oracle program helped the architect program make the human minds believe in the matrix by introducing an illusion of choice? But the Anomalies still didn't believe and could learn to defy matrix rules? So the machines decided to let some humans build Zion in the real world? (I still don't get the full connect there but I'll just move on). This satisfied the Anomalies' need to feel full free will. And the machines predicted this whole Zion loop would continue with the Anomaly choosing to start Zion over with the 21? Or are you saying.... The Architect program CREATED the Anomalies' to begin with, starting the whole Zion loop? Now I'm really confused. But then the human-siding oracle program added the Trinity love story into one of the Zion loops, so that the free-will/choice thing allowed the main anomaly (neo) to eventually choose love, setting in motion Neo meeting the rogue A.I .program Smith at the end, for which the machine mainframe would strike a peace deal to kill? Can you please set me straight, and connect all the missing dots?
Let me try to clarify this for you. The Matrix was initially programmed in a way that people's minds didn't accept utopia after a while. No matter how accurate the simulated world was created based on human history, most minds rejected it. The Oracle was an intuitive program that was created to understand humans. She introduced the element of choice in every mind. What did this mean? Every human felt that all the events that happened in their lives in the dream world was because of the choices they were making. They felt this at a subconscious level, but that was enough to make most minds accept the Matrix programming. However, though the majority of the humans, 99%, accepted the Matrix thanks to that sense of choice, there was still a 1% population that rejected the programming. Meaning, they wanted to break the rules of the Matrix. They subconsciously realized that their choice in the Matrix was just an illusion. What was worse? Periodically, there was one human from that 1% who could blatantly defy every rule that was programmed into the Matrix. The Anomaly. The Anomaly was not created by the Architect. It was a result of the programming that lead to that 1% population that didn't accept the Matrix. So the best thing to do was to take that 1% out of the Matrix. This place outside the Matrix where the 1% resided is called Zion. What better way to do this than get the people of Zion to find the Anomaly. And get the Anomaly to extract more people from that 1% in the Matrix. This keeps the Matrix clear from the population that rejects the programming and things are otherwise in harmony. With the emergence of the Anomaly, and once the population of Zion has reached a particular size, the machines kill everyone in Zion except the Anomaly. The Anomaly is given a choice to pick any 21 people from the Matrix and restart Zion. And thus the whole cycle repeats itself. This has happened 5 times, with 5 different Anomalies. The Oracle realized that if the Anomaly "loved" someone, his "choice" would not be to pick 21 people from the Matrix, but to save the one he loves. The Oracle sows the seed in Trinity's mind. As Trinity tracks Neo, she in enamored by him. When Neo meets Trinity, he begins having feelings for her as well. Again, this is enabled by the Oracle "I can see why she likes you". The Oracle plays cupid. It works, when the time comes, Neo does not pick the 21 people in the Matrix but goes back in to save Trinity. Why did the Oracle do this? Well, she's an intuitive program that felt that there needed to be a change. She wanted the Anomaly to choose differently so as to enable change. Change is essential for every system if it wants to sustain. She understood that. Additionally, with Smith having infected the Matrix completely, even if Neo had chosen to pick 21 people it would be useless as they would have all been Smiths. This version of the Matrix has been infected by a rogue gatekeeper program and their "restart" Zion strategy won't work. When Neo offers to destroy Smith, the machines agree and allow Zion to exist indefinitely.... until of course what we see in the events of The Matrix: Resurrections. Hope that helps.

One important thing is that the oracle set trinity and neo up hoping that neo wouldn’t follow is predecessors because of love.
Good point Ross. It's part of the "dangerous game" she plays.
Beautifully done. Thank you so much for the video Barry.

My channel is not specifically focused on films but I do an explainer video occasionally 🙂
Glad you liked this one!
Thank you!
a very nice quick brief on matrix trilogy, thanks man
Cheers Hamid!
Uhm , so writing the flow events to see if i got it right
1. Animatrix
2. Machine world creates matrix
3. Architect is the guy who does this creation
4. Yet it is too perfect for 1% who ends up finding that this is a simulation
5. They become the resistance
6. Oracle feds a prophecy that there will be the one.
7. He is neo
8. The anomaly part is a bit confusing though.
9. There is cipher who will cheat resistance
10. Smiths are the protectors of matrix
11. Neo will end up killing him in the final part by letting ex machina get control over him
12. Why would ex machina help him and oracle as well to kill Smith, is it because both the worlds are in jeopardy now?
*Zion is a real place. It’s in IL 😂😭*
Great video!! Came downstairs and my girl and her mom had the new one ready to go I said hold up let me watch a recap video 😂
Ha! Thanks Nick. Did you like the new one?
