Morpheus' last line in the movie is "Is this real?" People have taken it and run with it. That coupled with the Oracle's explanation that choice was the key to the current matrix's success led people to believe that both the matrix and "the real world" are matrix instances and that the only way out would be to realize that fact and then reject the system wholesale. It also explains why Neo's abilities still work in the real world as well. And again, explain the fucking batteries line.

Thanks. It's been awhile since I watched the second and third movies. I just knew it ended without clarity and being open to interpretation. Which I guess allows me to project my own story onto it where humans are basically being preserved as organic life forms. Or even don't exist organically at all. I enjoy writing that allows for that open ending.
