: The only way the ending makes sense to me is that Neo is hooked up to the machines and he's twisted them to act differently. Otherwise, it's a stupid ending.
Neo is like Jesus...He died to save everyone else, and 'ascended' to wherever...much like a certain christian figure.
Also eastern philosophy comes into play with the smith thing. you'll notice that smith blows up when he infects neo...neo is a yin, smith is a yang. or, in other terms Neo = 1, smith = -1. put the two together and you get zero. Everything is hunky dory.
I loved the ending.
