I looove, the Matrix movies. In fact, today I watched all three of them with one of my friends.

But, I've always had some trouble understanding the entire story line.

Would anyone here be willing to explain it to me?

I don't quite get Neo's involvement with the real world, why the machine's stopped, what Zion actually is, who the oracle is and how she knows what she does, and why the hell is Trinity so ugly and why didn't Neo dump her for the Vampire Persephone chick?
