Matrix Evolution

One of the more intriguing aspects of the movie The Matrix Revolutions is what this film represents. In the movie there is a tribe of renegades (humans) trying to combat hostile forces dominated by machines (super-cyborgs-nation). In order to infiltrate the superior autonomous race of machine, the human race had been reduced to supplying the machine world with energy resources. Humanity was extinguished due to the inhabitable conditions of planet Earth, which were caused by humans immoral consumption (by virtue of greed) destroying the planets renewable fossil fuels, as result, through nuclear warfare against the machines. In turn, the machines adopted humans as the primary energy source through use entropy, which the human body can only produce it's own electric property.

I titled this 'evolution' because of the significant changes that I see in the movie, however, subjected to my interpretation are independent therefore in no way have mention within the story. (note: Because this is my adaptation of the actual story, it serves as a critique relating to it in a positive manner.)

There is irony in the quasi-factual metaphor of a world dominated by machines, which is not stated clearly enough. In reality the film is made to make-believe that machines have the power to reverse the entire course of humanity, based on a pseudo-modified perspective that machines (not humans) are autonomous therefore have civil rights, ecetera, hitherto pertaining to laws, regulations, and all that there is in command. Essentially, the human race is nothing, whereas the weather has no implications on humanity, waging war, and have no respect to resolution or settling indifference, impartial to all human activity.

There is no after-life, as only death seems immanent remains as the one true course of all ‘rejected’ humans that live in a subterranean world called ‘Zion’. In the movie, everything is backwards given only to alienate a known non-fictional world of possibility.

In the movie the machines appear only to destroy Zion. The desperate situation is to make peace with the machines. The machines created a program where the factory of non-living sentient, benign, pro-creating humans are linked. There are agents, which the program deploys to ensure order is maintained against any hacking that may disrupt the machines system in the matrix.

Only once a hero emerges to combat the machines agents, can the program be saved from agent-Smith developing its own regenerating super-race. The matrix is destroyed once and for all, after Neo joins the machines to preserve a model of self-awareness that can save humanity. The moral of the story is the classical perseverance of human sacrifice and emotion. This allows the machines to interact with all things in the matrix being equal. The question is of blind faith, and whether or not humanity can extinguish itself, or continue to live freely in the capacity it once had established? Neo becomes part of the machine world, completely unaware of the matrix. Neo - now a part of the machine, Neo enters the matrix in order to destroy agent-Smith. Agent Smith represents an internal conflict that replicates itself as if a virus, which the external cause of humanity must overcome.
