Awesome Movie!

Have you ever noticed how the Matrix has many scenes that parallel to the Bible? I have been studying this movie in my school and there are a couple main parts i wanted to point out that i think parallel to the Bible.
First of all, the movie talks a lot about Neo being "the one". Throughout the Bible Jesus is also known as the one. Matthew 1:21 says," She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." Jesus was going to save us just as Neo was to save the people in the matrix. Both were also trained. Neo was trained by machine and Jesus was trained while being tempted in the desert. (Luke 4:1-2). Another similarity of Jesus and Neo is their resurrection. Neo was shot and he died but rose again by the kiss you trinity. Jesus was crucified on the cross and rose again (Matthew 28:7).
I think that Morpheus is like John the Baptist because they both wanted to prepare the way for the messiah. John baptizes Jesus and Morpheus flushes neo out of his tank and in a sense they are both born again. People thought that John was "the one" and he was only preparing the way for "the one". In the same way everyone thought Morpheus was the one where he was only preparing the way for Neo.
Cipher is like Judas because the both betray the one. They up the real thing for the fake world. They fell for the temptation of riches and fame yet both end up dying right after they betrayed the one (Matthew 26:47-49).
These are parallels that i see in the Matrix to the Bible. I find it quite remarkable how similar they are. The Matrix was an exciting dramatic movie though it was very confusing at times. I thought it was very well made.
