Upon first watching
this movie, it became obvious to me that there was a lot more to it than Keanu
Reeves as originally thought. The Wachowski Brother’s have buried countless
philosophical references amongst spectacular visual effects, a superb
soundtrack and a fascinating sci-fi plot line.

The following is an excerpt from a November 6th on-line chat with Larry and
Andy Wachowski (the writers/directors of The Matrix):
Question from Starr22: Are all the religious symbolism and doctrine
throughout this movie intentional, or not?
WachowskiBros: Most of it is intentional.

Interesting, highly detailed document that
discusses the various facets of the Matrix, from the religious allegories to
the literary references. A well-formatted and easily understandable piece. A
must read.
Predominantly visual observations from the
movie, with some interesting insights into the colour themes of the movies and
many other interesting points to look for in the movie.
Relatively simple table comparing the life
of Jesus to that of Neo. Not as detailed as the Matrix FAQ, but still provides
a decent insight.
Critical piece about the Matrix which
raises some rather interesting points, however does tend to be quite difficult
to read.
