The Matrix

First off, this movie is weird. Honestly, it probably isn't my top choice of movies to see. It is a mind wrap to try to watch it and understand the meaning. Also, it is scary. And gross. One thing I found interesting was the "trinity" in the movie, and how this can resemble Christian terms for the father, son and Holy Spirit. As a matter of fact, alot of these have Christian terms that go along with the movie. The whole concept of Neo and him being considered "The One" also has meaning to it. Basically, that is what the whole movie is about. Neo overcoming himself and and being the hero to everyone, because he is the one who has been chosen and appointed to do so. Neo is empty until the Trinity contacts him and he realizes what he is called to do. I am interested to see other opinions on this movie and other interpretations of the meaning other than what I percieve it to be. I think that Christianty can be richly related to this movie in some way, shape or form, mostly because it is about someone who is appointed as "The One" and the path he takes to overcome his challenges and defeat the "bad guys". I think this is the sort of movie that you have to see a few times to understand the whole meaning of it.
