For one thing: the machines are mind and the humans are body which is why they showed Neo and Trinity having sex in Reloaded. The Guy on the main page doesn't know the meaning of symbolism obviously. The "Peace" at the end isn't corny or sappy...from a literal stand-point: Neo became an Agent of the system by fighting Smith who was threatening the system, so the machines had to respect their agreement with him. From a non literal stand-point you can get alot here: what I am going to spoon feed youis that Neo has perfectly balanced when it came to mind and body... the world became that way when the Mind(machines) and the Body(humans) ended the war, for now they must work in harmony. Also the machine personality was very arrogant...and Neo wasn't and Neo was right. THINK PEOPLE THINK!

The themes of the film change as the story progresses and demonstrates many theological and philosophical terms and theorys(simulacra&simulation,sophacles[the cave],nietzsche,enlightenment/moksha,samsara,ect.)and it starts out as a mainly philosophical basis for the theme(not entirely but mainly)in order to lay the foundation to get you thinking in a manner that will allow you to understand the matrix itself. then as the story progresses it becomes more and more a spiritual journey until revolutions where Neo achieves moksha. everything listed on the main page of this site can be explained and is relevent whether the creator of this site understands it or not. You literally have to free your mind to understand this series. It isn't a stupid shoot-em-up that most were expecting...it has meaning. Neo is the One.

Freeing the mind does not lead to understanding. It leads to creativity, the inverse of knowledge and understanding.
Encapsulating the mind in knowledge, on the other hand, leads to understanding.
Understanding leads to wisdom. So quite literally, freeing the mind leads to foolishness.

Your "encapsulation" is obvious, as is your limited understanding of the collective creative thought of humanity, goose-stepper. So would you say then, that, Jonas Salk's polio vaccine, the Wright Brothers' flier, or Einstein's Relativity Theory have no basis in creative thought? Take Einstein, for example. Are you aware that he read little of the contemporary literature in his field, was terrible at arithmetic, and had music as his avocation? Surely this was not one encapsulated in knowledge, but rather one reaching beyond what is known, to what is unknown.
