That is one thing I think the first animatrix episode actually manages.
It is very much a pro-machine piece, presenting the machines as being
oppressed by humans and doing their outmost to reach peaceful
coexistence - which is rejected by the shortsighted and cynical
fleshthings.
The nice thing about the matrixverse is that it has from the start (in
the cartoons and short stories) tried to produce multiple stories and
even some competing narratives. The movies might very well have one
definite slant, but there is surrpunding stories that are rather
subversive.
