Neo,
"I know Kung-Fu."
Morpheus,
"Show me!"
Let's start with the basics. If you've seen The Matrix, you know all about the surface story - how Artificial Intelligence created
a computer construct (The Matrix) of OUR present day world and, through a hardwire
directly into the brain, fed it to us humans who were, in reality, kept in incubators and
used for their energy output as a power source for the Artificial Intelligence. In other
words, our "reality" exists ONLY in our minds. Everything we
"experience"; everything we "do" - it's all just a dream! But a small
band of FREED humans live in the real world and fight against the subjugation of mankind
by the machines. Their ultimate goal is to destroy The Matrix and end the domination of
the machines. How do they go about doing this? They find a man within The Matrix
(Thomas A. "Neo"
Anderson) who develops the ability to defeat the Artificial Intelligence within the
Matrix and begin the process of restoring man to his rightful place as THE sentient
species on the planet. The Matrix is a very fine high-tech, futuristic, sci-fi action
flick. But,.....look deeper,.....there is so much more going on in this film ........
Here are
the parallels
between Neo's life story and the life story of Christ some 2,000 years ago!
( 2,000....hmmm....isn't that the amount that Choi paid
to Neo for that disk?! )
