Ok... I have to admit that I have been obsessing over the movies The Matrix... especially after the second one where some odd things happened. Agent Smith was replicating in the matrix, Neo was "feeling" and stopping the sentinels in the real world, Agent Smith copied himself into a human in Zion.
Now I normally don't obsess over movies... I usually just watch them once and then move on... no big deal. But this time I have been trying to figure out all of the odd things about The Matrix.
I wanted to throw my theories out for everyone to examine and see what you all think...
Here goes... remember in the first movie when Neo went to see the Oracle? She told him that he was not The One, and then she added: "maybe in another life". Neo later did die. But then something happened. He came back alive. Walla! He was all of the sudden The One with all sorts of powers.
In the second movie when Agent Smith copied himself into Bane, this told me that it was possible for the machines to send a new program into a human body. It also reminded me of what happened to Neo when he died... along with what the Oracle told him. She said that he was not The One. What I think happened was Neo did in fact die, and was replaced with a program... just as Bane was replaced with a clone of Agent Smith. This new program, as The Architect put it, was the sum of the remainder of the program equation needed to balance the equation.
The Architect did say that Neo was human, but he also kept referring to The One as being designed. This would make sense if The One was a program inserted into a human body. This could also explain why Neo was able to "feel" the sentinels in the real world... he was a program that was part of the system.
While The Architect was talking to Neo he told him that if he did not choose the door on his right, the Matrix would crash. I was wondering why this would happen... then I remembered how Agent Smith was replicating himself everywhere. I'm thinking that this is what will crash the Matrix if not stopped. Smith will essentially saturate the Matrix with nothing but copies of himself.
Now let's also look at what the Oracle told Neo about rouge programs. She said that when a program needs to be deleted, they are supposed to return to The Source... which is why Neo needed to return to the Source... his programming... and the remainder of the equation that was the flaw, needed to be deleted. As we know, Neo did not return to the source to be deleted. There is also the matter of Agent Smith. Just before the big fight in the court yard, Smith told Neo that he knew what he was supposed to do after he was killed in the first movie, but did not. This made Smith a rouge program that avoided deletion by not returning to the source. Smith also told Neo that he was now free... but not really... because he was now trapped in the Matrix like everyone else... like many other programs that avoided deletion.
The Oracle talked about how there were many rouge programs in the Matrix... this means that there are a lot of very unhappy programs that are getting tired of being controlled by the Matrix. Just as there are a lot of very unhappy humans that are in the Matrix. Here is my theory on what the third movie, Revolutions, will be about. I think that the rouge programs and the humans will join forces to defeat the controlling forces in the Matrix... in essence... giving everyone the choice to stay in a matrix that they can form to their liking... being able to create their own personal paradises. The reason the first Matrix failed was because the people were forced to be in it, but now they will be able to choose to be in it... which will in turn mutually benefit the machines by providing them with the energy they need.
