Recently, Lilly Wachowski discussed how the Matrix films function as a trans-allegory, as the theme of transformation is central to the films. Without a doubt dense and complex, the explanation is true to the spirit of Wachowskis, as they love to imbue their films with symbolism and purpose. Then the universe unfolds around his choice, for, without his knowing, his action brings about the destruction of Smith and the salvation of humanity. But, by absolving himself of what happens, and embracing the moment, he does the only thing he can do and surrenders, thereby choosing despite having no real choice. In this context, actual choice is impossible since no understanding of outcomes, or even what exists beyond your perception, is possible. The exact nature of truth, or even experience, is mediated by individual consciousness, which is to say none of us can know what actually is real and what is not. Rather, Neo comes to enlightenment, or what Buddhist calls satori, by understanding that all that exists is the present moment. The Meaning Behind The Matrix Revolutions' EndingĪt this point in the story Neo stands on the verge of satori, ready to resolve the paradox of choice and choicelessness, of free-will vs fate, but that can only be achieved through an act of surrender, which only occurs after he has abandoned the perspectival nature of truth, accepting the totality of present consciousness - Lana WachowskiĪt the end of The Matrix Revolutions, Neo defeats Agent Smith, but not through brute strength.
However, before the new ending ensues, the Wachowskis disclose the meaning behind the way the franchise ends. From there, pixelated versions of the Wachowskis appear and say that instead of the original ending, the game features a new ending where Neo gets to fight his way to victory, since they see it as a more appropriate finale for an action game. When players reach this crucial story juncture in Path of Neo (a video game retelling of The Matrix trilogy where players control Neo) the story stops and cuts away to a white room inhabited by two leather chairs, like the room in The Matrix where Morpheus tells Neo about the truth of reality.

This action enables the machines to destroy Smith by sending an energy surge into Smith's code, via Neo's physical body. Neo martyrs himself by letting Smith assimilate him. In order for humanity, and the machines, to be saved, Agent Smith, who has become a virus within the Matrix, must be defeated.

Humanity and the machines come to a truce but series hero, Neo, must sacrifice himself for the alliance. The ending to The Matrix Revolutions is bittersweet. In 2005, two years after the original trilogy ended, the conversation was reignited by the video game Path of Neo as it contained both a revised ending and commentary from the Wachowskis on the ending to the final film in the series, The Matrix Revolutions. Even after 20 years fans still continue to debate and critique the films. Mixing Hong Kong style action with metaphysical musings, the series brought complex philosophy to the masses. The Matrix redefined the action-genre when it released over 20 years ago.
