Bravo!! You are correct. The war has been over for a long time. Humans are lost and the machines rule the world. Zion will never be saved, and the only relevant reality is the Matrix. That's why each movie title has the "Matrix" word in it. This is a story about a battle between the Oracle and the Architect. It is only a small story within the greater context of the continued existence of the Matrix. The story is told from a human point of view, because that is what we want to see. We are human, we project humanity and human qualities on everything we conceive and contact (including our gods) We wouldn't accept the movies the same way if the story were told from the machine or program standpoint. Humans are but a tiny player in the overall mix. We are just a tool used by the Oracle to win her battle with the architect. The matrix may have begun only as a method to control human minds, but has become a thing unto itself, with programs running wild. The world wide web, and Internet are our real world examples of this process. I'm glad at least someone else out there understood the real plot. Thank you.
