The themes and emotional connections of The Matrix have allowed it to continue.
Lana Wachowski talked about the choice to go back to the Matrix in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, which will be published on December 22. Wachowski said that art is a mirror.

The idea of seeing the two actors who played the roles in the movie coming back and fighting to have their love again just wrecked me.
