Tex -USMC- 0 Posted June 2, 2003 How on earth does the plot of the matrix parallel with Christianity? In the world of the Matrix, humanity is in deep biblical shit, so to speak. By our own greed and arrogance, we've sinned our way into total enslavement of body and mind. Now, our only hope is the One, who can operate in the Matrix (and now, apparently, the real world) with what can only be described as God-like powers. A prophet foresees his coming, and he has to die before he truly becomes 'The One'. He died for our sins, and then rose again to save us. I don't know how to make it any more clear.

Col. Kurtz 0 Posted June 3, 2003 Does this make "The Architect" Satan? Probably would, since he appears to be the controller of the matrix which some could look at as been hell, just with a nicer face lift. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tex -USMC- 0 Posted June 3, 2003 Does this make "The Architect" Satan? No, just a role that definitely should have been played by Donald Sutherland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tex -USMC- 0 Posted June 3, 2003 So Keanu Reeves is Jesus....hmmm...."whoa"we're in trouble.... Luckily it isn't an exact interpretation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col. Kurtz 0 Posted June 3, 2003 Whether he is supposed to be Jesus or not, he is certainly rich if anything stated here is true, although it could quite possibly be false. Quote[/b] ]Keanu Reeves has become Hollywood's highest paid star thanks to the success of the Matrix film series. According to press reports today, his contract pays him 15 per cent of the movies' box-office take - giving him a paycheque of $US206 million ($A313.79 million) so far. That amount is before the final film in the trilogy The Matrix: Revolutions comes out in November, not to mention further income from videogame, DVD and TV sales.

Gollum1 0 Posted June 4, 2003 Just bought "The Animatrix" DVD, and it´s great. I particularly liked "The second renaissance", it was really touching. Some of the atrocities committed in Pt.1 were really disgusting. At least the machines get a kind of revenge in pt.2... I also liked "matriculated" which had some stunningly beautiful, yet playful and imaginitive visuals. I didn´t like the animation or story in "Kid´s story", though. And "the final flight of the osiris" (the 3D, Final Fantasy style animation)is just a pointless, boring and unimaginitive action sequence. Still, if you´re a Matrix fan, rent it/buy it!

Die Alive 0 Posted June 11, 2003 Egypt bans US blockbuster movie Matrix Reloaded Quote[/b] ]The director of artistic censorship, Madkur Thabet, said that "despite its excellent technical level, the film was banned because it deals with subjects like human existence and creation. "And these are questions linked to the three monotheistic religions that we respect and which we believe in," Thabet added. "These questions have in the past provoked crises and tension." Well I'll be, I'd figured Utah whould be the first state/nation to ban this movie... -=Die Alive=- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tamme 0 Posted June 24, 2003 I'll reply properly later, but just to avoid confusion, i mean actual dreaming. Not regular dreams, lol, yes we can verify that by sleeping. Millions of people can testify to becoming aware in a dream, as aware (if not more so) as in waking time, and with memory of the waking mind, able to mainpulate the dream environment, not a nightly occurence for most people. Some people actually pay many thousands of dollars at established institutes to reach that state. That is the observation of millions..so it must be... I didn't know that becoming aware in a dream is so special. Happens to me often (but not every night) It's a cool feeling. You sort of wake up but remain in the dream world able to manipulate it. I also have these strange deja vus. Like "I've seen this in a dream" It has happened to me often. Don't know how many other people have them.Apart from me my mom is the only one I know that has them.
