There is an explanation too bad it's in the Animatrix, the least watched and most expressive form of the Matrix. They are trying to free more people from the machines. I can't remember it being specifically mentioned in the main three movies other than the Neo Fanboy saying he rescued him.
I love Resurrections the most but hoo boy, that film is a whole lot of "I'm so fucking done with this bullshit."
And people hated that! They were like "Why isn't this grim hackers fighting slick agents in suits? With warrior poets talking philosophy?!"
Dude I wasn't that big of a fan of the first movie. But the second and third on ironically made me love the series more than the first one ever did. Though if I had to pick a favorite I think two would be it
Someone said the trilogy is supposedly Birth, Life, and Death, and as much as people love the first, Reloaded really gave us so much more. Including Seraph. Gotta love Seraph. I still wonder about the guards in Revolution calling him Wingless.
You're going to laugh but The Matrix is a trans metaphor. The Wachowski sisters are trans. And when you're trans you can live the beautiful comfortable lie or you can fight for your entire life and die knowing the truth on your own terms.
That’s an awesome way of putting it! Thanks for the explanation. I knew about the trans metaphor but I guess I just wasn’t thinking things through enough. Cheers!
My house had two phone lines and we went with an ISP that had unlimited hours at one point so we could be on the net all day every day.
Back then we had a daisy chain setup where the modem came in via the serial port and then an ethernet connection to the second PC using Internet Sharing in Windows.
Joe, I hope these skeet finds you well. Early on, they went in to get info on and then extract Neo. They went back in to introduce Neo to the Oracle hoping to resolve their conflict with the machines, and again to rescue Morpheus who was captured after the Oracle meeting.
Not like a lot has changed. If you want somebody to tell you to check Google, you ask a question. If you want fifty seven people to answer your question, just post the wrong answer.
That's just it, Don. It was 2199, but to keep people like 80% docile they dropped them in the shit 90s and at any moment, with war and poverty and crime ongoing, some fuckin cop could bodysnatch you to chase an idiot in a trenchcoat and sunglasses. Like you don't have problems already.
You know what, fair play to Joe. My man wanted to know a question with a simple answer and here comes that Bite Me asshole wanting to show off how smart he was, easily the worst type of message board guy

And in 2/3 you basically find out that there's always someone trying to leave, so by the end the machines say OK people can leave if they want.
But then...

(My area didn't have cable modems yet, so I had to get an ISDN line with a repeater because I was too far from the central office.)

Neo: thank you. Happy to be here
Joe: WHHYYY??!
MORPHEUS: "Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself."
NEO:
MORPHEUS:
NEO: “Can someone other than a fuck head answer my question.”
They free the people.
To show them a reality where they have agency over themselves.
True, it’s an ugly, uncomfortable, painful reality.
But what accomplishments that are made are made by one’s self, without need of permission from those in control.
