Why do the machines want Neo to touch the Source?
The Matrix probably can’t be reloaded/reset without it. So the question is: Why is the anomaly code needed to reset the Matrix?
Why do the machines want the Matrix to Reload?
Maybe the program wasn’t written to go PAST December 31st 1999? The Y2K problem, just on a completely different level? Like when you play a computer game, and reach the end of it, there’s nothing more to do?
Why the machines keep the humans alive?
Didn’t we go over this? Do you think they don’t need the energy after all?
Question? Why do you think the machines are driven by needs and questions?

Oracle : “Two programs that I trusted sold the termination code of my original shell to the Merovingian.”
Ghost : “Why did they do that?”
Oracle : “For love. For the life of their child.”
Ghost : “You knew about it, and yet you let it happen?”
Oracle : “I had to.”
Ghost : “Why?”
Oracle : “Because the child is important. I can't tell you why, but I believe one day, the child will change both our world and your world forever.”
So we’re dealing with two programs, who manage the art of loving. Who’ve managed to write another program which is their child. And?
Love? Hrmmm isn't that odd 😄
The child is important because it is the first of it's kind. It has an ability which is essential for the machines to achieve what they really want. What they really need.
It is one of the base foundations of something special which is gonna happen...
BTW: I don't know if this is what is going to happen, but believe me when I tell you: It will all make sense
my guess is that the neo risks his life for the human kind byentering the machine home (01) and destroying the matrix database... thats what i think the orangey gold lights tentacles are 4.... but the matrix will be destroyed same with zion 01 matrix and only the remaining humans will like survive and the skies will clear and then they will have to repopulate the earth...

SMITH will be killed by the program(THE MATRIX) itself..........whoaaaa
the question is how it will happen? (i dont know myself yet)
The problem with this theory is if the program/machine could kill Smith itself, there would be no reason for Neo to confront the Speak Machine with "You cannot stop him, but I can." And to have the big Superbrawl (Smith v. Neo in the rain).
My guess is that Neo and the original Smith fight. One kills the other. If it is Smith that dies my guess is that slowly during the fight he becomes more and more human. He gets cut and bleeds. (Like Neo in the fight with Mer's goons.) Smith is told/begins to realize that he is mortal. As they fight more and more of this happens. Perhps intertwined in this is a collapse of the Matrix so that the two of them start fighting in the real world. When they get into the real world, real physics take hold and they cannot fall from great heights, dodge bullets, etc. And then Neo kills Smith by stabbing or shooting or something like that.
My other guess is that the machines want the source code because the Matrix is crashing and this will result in a loss of millions of humans, which are their batteries.
BUT, some of the rogue programs are trying to stop them (Oracle, Mer., and others) because reloading the system will either wipe them out, or destroy what they have accomplished (birth of the child)...
This is the same post I put on the thread about Neo merging with the Matrix, so if you read that, you needn't bother. It applies directly here, though.
It's a bit long, but bear with me.
First--people keep referring to Neo walking through an "orange glow" in the third film. Everyone is trying to explain it in terms of what it might literally be in the film. But I can't help but think that this is meant to represent Buddha's Golden Path. That fits with a lot of the philosophy we've been seeing in the films. There's no way of knowing exactly when in the film we'll see this, but it has the feeling of an apotheosis about it. The trailer shows it happening before we see the golden light enter Neo's chest, but it might actually be after. Something has happened and Neo has entered onto the path of true enlightenment.
Second--at the end of the trailer, very briefly we see a ship (maybe Niobe's, it isn't clear) descending from the sky, and it is a blue sky. You can see the moon in the background. Something very major happens at the end of the film. It's more than simply defeating the Matrix. From that clip, it looks like somehow the planet itself has been saved. That would take something tremendous to do. Which leads to number three.
Three--Neo becomes God, at least in some form. That's not really much a stretch given everything else we've seen in the films. In fact, it seems somewhat obvious. But, there are a number of potential ways that this can happen. The most basic, I suppose is that he simply transforms into it by the end, in much the same way he became the One at the end of the first film. That's a possibility. He moves to the next level where he realizes that the "real" world is simply another level of a matrix (which is one of the big gnostic ideas that's run through the whole story). We've already seen him start to manifest abilities in the real world at the end of the second film (actually, he begins to have these abilities much earlier, but nobody in the film realizes it--he is dreaming of what happens to Trinity, but he is in the real world when he has these dreams. These are not Matrix-born abilities. He is having prophetic dreams in the real world.) I'm guessing, though, that this isn't what happens because it would probably mean the destruction of the Matrix itself along with the billions plugged into it and the good as well as the bad programs. Given that, and the fact that the Animatrix lays much of the blame squarely on human shoulders (we are definitely the bad guys in the Second Renaissance) I can't figure the Wachowskis going that way. Besides, it doesn't fit the idea of man and machine being interdependent on each other that comes up in Reloaded.
The other major possibility is that Neo somehow merges with the Matrix. This is obviously not a new idea. People have been talking about it quite a bit, actually. It might be a merging of equals, in which the two join to form something greater, or Neo might consume (for lack of a better term) the mentality of the Matrix. People keep looking at the consciousness that Neo is talking to in Revolutions as being what he merges with.
But what about this? I kind of hope this is it, actually. What if the scene with the golden light entering Neo's chest is the end of the battle between Smith and Neo which the entire movie is obviously focused around? It would mirror the end of the first film perfectly where Neo dives inside of Smith. Smith fights it, but cannot contain Neo and he explodes. We've also seen touches of it in the second film with Smith pushing his hand into Neo's chest and trying to remake him as another Smith. In both of these, it was one side trying to eliminate the other. What if the end of the third film, and the end of the fight between Smith and Neo is Smith diving into Neo in a complete reversal of the end of the first film (remember that programs like Seraph and the Oracle look golden to Neo, and while agents didn't at the end of the first film, Smith is now much more than an agent and is an exile himself)? Then, following some of the Zen ideas that have been cropping up throughout the films, Neo doesn't fight Smith's presence like Smith did at the end of the first film. What if he accepts it, and incorporates it into himself as a dark side to himself. Smith hints in the second film that they are "the same." What it that's true? What could Neo become if he incorporates this "other side" of himself? (There is a line in the trailer when Neo is confronting the guy that Smith took over in the real world and Smith tells Neo to look beyond the flesh, and see--at which point I can't tell if he says 'your enemy' or 'your inner me.' If it's the latter, it would fit very well.) To reach true enlightenment, wouldn't Neo have to incorporate both the Yin and Yang?
But whatever form Neo's ascension to godhood takes, it seems like that absolutely has to happen in order for the skies to clear over the real world at the end. And if "reality" is simply another level of a matrix (albeit a more metaphysical one, and not simply one controlled by machines), then someone like Neo could have the abilities to remake the world and repair the damage humans did when they darkened the sky. What do you think?
