Thread: The Matrrix: Si-Fi or pschyco-religious commentry?

I saw a lot of the philosophical/religious undertones when seeing the movie. They were definitely thinking of more that simply making a science fiction film when they wrote this one. Do I agree with the “world view” presented in The Matrix? No, but it makes for an interesting story and food for thought nonetheless.

That said, I never really had a problem with the idea that the reality we see may not be as real as we think it is.

Those elements are there, but it's greater than that.

"The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth."
