That was also my interpretation of the scene.  But I guess I was hasty to label the scene as unclearly told because so many others on the boards were walking away with these varying versions. One guy said Neo self destructed. I was like, "What? He did? I thought the machine leader guy pumped all the energy into him to make him explode."So, if you and I have the same conclusion, what does that mean? Does it mean that our version is most likely the correct interpretation? Or we just so happen to be two guys that have the same incorrect interpretation? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Hopefully, no one will walk in on my post and reply, "but that's what's beautiful about the films, you are left to wonder and figure things out for yourself". Now, while I believe a film shouldn't treat their audiences like dumbies, there is a balance when it comes to storytelling. If you go to far and be abstract too much, you end up like David Lynch. Who's to say what is left up to us and what was simply poorly told? The arguement that it is neat to leave it up to the viewer is okay on certian types of story formula, but it can't be used to excuse every bit of sloppy filming. (Sort of Off Topic: It used to be neat that the guy at McDonald's filled my cup for me, no I gotta do it.....)Okay, we agree on the resolution of Smith. I don't what these other crackpots are thinking....but I think you and I are right. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  Heh heh heh.I still think its the weakest of the three films. There wasn't enough drama or emotion to feel like a climatic ending to a trilogy. Dialogue was still bad and the ending was still very uninteresting artistically. Odd, considering the style of the whole trilogy is the visual style. That being so, the visual style of the ending scenes were the most boring and un-artistic.</blockquote>
