This was an interesting fact about the Matrix I found on the internet.
quote:
On Easter weekend the film The Matrix was released as if to indicate to the world that it was more than just another special effects movie. There was a hidden meaning with depth, a powerful statement that was totally unnoticed by most viewers. Larry and Andy Wachowski, two brothers, had a vision of embracing the Bible and introducing it differently to the world.
M&M: The Messiah and The Matrix - Matrix Fans
I thought that was pretty cool.
Also some sybolism I saw that was forgotten on the first film is the red pill representing Christ's blood, the blue pill Hell.
Or Blue= world in the movie, and red= Morpheus' squad etc...

It reveals the intentions of the W. Bros, it doesn't say The Christian view is more significant, and I don't think from not adding the other religion's views in the essay, does the author say this.

It is the point of the thread, If I were to start a new thread on Buddhism and the matrix who is to say it is more significant then the Gnostic or Christian parts of the Matrix? I just thought that relation for the Bible and the Matrix was interesting, not more significant.

Ok, so next time I won't bring up any interesting things that I just might happen to see, I'll at first think that it is probably trivial, then realize that I must be slow on the uptake anyway. Thanks a lot, really opened my eyes a great deal.
