Seriously, i have seen Matrix like 15 times and each time I understand it a little better. For instance, Neo is the One. Interesting, I never realize that if you move the letters around Neo turns into the One. And in some sense, once Neo believes, he become the One. Whether this was intentional of not, its still really kewl.
Or how about the Follow the White Rabbit scene, where the guy is buying the illegal disk from Neo. The buyer comments that he looks like Jesus F*** Christ. The trilogy is packed with religious allusions. I mean Trinity, Morpheus, and Neo to me always somehow represented the Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
But within the movies, there is enough ambiguities and things that dont quite fit together that I continue watching it over and over again. And time I watch it I get alittle more insight into the movie.
Morpheus' discussion on reality and the minds eye is like straight from philosophy class.
Truely, and I said this in past post, Matrix is one of the most meaningful movies there is. There is no other.

Well, since the Matrix Trilogy has the same general concept of any crappy B rated science-fiction movie, just with Keanu Reeve and special effects... yes I'd say I could probably name a more meaningul movie than the Matrix Trilogy (which is actually three movies, not just one.)
Try, I don't know, Zoolander. Possible theme? "A man's persistance to achieve something great, can overcome the tyranny of an influential leader." You know, something like that.
Way cooler than The Matrix's "A man decides to take pills from a complete stranger, and then three crappy movies are made."

distinctive human beings like very last vacation spot 3 better than the first 2 video clips. the 2d one is my personal customary, yet i understand the third is amazingly customary. ok no longer strictly a trilogy i understand, yet they promote the first 3 video clips as a container set trilogy (or thrillogy) Out of all the Austin Powers video clips, the third one 'Goldmember' is my maximum customary :) they are all reliable, although the acceptance cameos and jokes are TOO humorous in the third one! The Evil lifeless trilogy - the third one 'military of Darkness' is distinctive followers favourites and recognized by ability of distinctive human beings because the most appropriate installment. BQ: Hmmm. no longer some thing lately quite. attack the Block replaced into tremendous reliable although can not imagine it being a customary. BBQ: i will the cinema next week to ascertain Paranormal interest 3. i will watch the unique Manhunter on the weekend, and that i do prefer to ascertain Contagion too out of interest! Morning MJ :) (for me besides, afternoon you?) edit: reliable evening madam! :)

The movie Beaches.
It's funny, it's sad, and takes the viewer through the love and heartache of a long term friendship that reaches beyond the changes that happen throughout a lifetime.
I did enjoy all three Matrix movies and understand it's thought provoking aspects, but to me, Beaches was far more meaningful.

"Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself."
If I had to sum up my feelings about this film in a short phrase, this line from the trailer probably comes closest. The Matrix is a terrific film, one of the rare ones that successfully mixes intelligent concepts with jaw-dropping action and effects. Thomas "Neo" Anderson (Keanu Reeves) is a software designer *** hacker who is plagued by disturbing occurrences that are hard for him to merely pass off as mere nightmares. In search for an answer to his questions, he encounters the mysterious "Morpheus" (Laurence Fishburne) and his band of rebels who try to convince Neo that the world as he knows it is little more than an elaborate computer simulation, and that Neo is "the One" - a liberator prophesied to free humanity from its bondage to a malevolent AI.
From a creative standpoint, The Matrix is absolutely stunning. It is easily the most stylish movie I have seen in ages (Dark City, Face/Off, and Blade included). Despite drawing from such eclectic sources as "Alice in Wonderland," the Bible, Hong Kong action cinema, and all manners of science-fiction, noire, and westerns, the film still feels amazingly fresh. The darkly stunning visuals, terrific sound design and music all add tremendously. The performances are great, and even Keanu Reeves did a fine job, though granted, his role isn't a tremendously challenging one. If the movie fails anywhere, it is in some of the dialogue, which is occasionally cheesy, and lapses into Buddhist psycho-babble sometimes. That said, I found much of the screenplay to be very intelligent, with touches of profound truth and dry humor mixed into it.
From a Christian perspective, The Matrix is a mixed bag. The basic story is one of a Messiah come to save an enslaved humanity. However, worked in among this story is a touch of Eastern religion, a fair amount of profanity (including using Christ's name), and a heavy dose of violence. While I felt the violence was not necessarily gratuitous, be warned: it is occasionally very graphic, and parents would do well to note that this is NOT for the younger teen audience. Some might find the film's premise of a "fake reality" somehow offensive, but in my opinion, it is an intriguing idea, maybe a warning to our increasingly on-line culture, but not anti-Christian in any way. In short, I would highly recommend this film to those not likely to be offended by the language and violence. It is a piece of terrific film-making; one of the most exhilarating and interesting blockbusters I have seen. I can't really say more... "You have to see it for yourself."
The Lord of the Rings is just as deep as well as the soon to follow movies of The Chronicals of Narnia

I robot. But matrix is great. I would suggest watching a movie called, 'Lathe of Heaven'. It's Sci-fi, and equally good at questioning the collective hunch we call reality.
