A comparison worth comparing

Rating: Null/10 (5 December 2002)

The Matrix was an incredible movie. There were so many parallels to the Life of Christ I don't even know where to start. Neo was just like Christ, Jesus started his ministry when he was around 31, which is almost exactly when Neo was found by Morpheus. All the people on the ship were like the disciples Jesus had during his ministry. Also each one of the characters on the ship could be compared to one of Christ's disciples. There is so much foreshadowing in the movie also. In the beginning a couple people call Neo their "Savior" and also the crew would mutter "Jesus" under their breath quite a bit. The faith that Morpheus had can be symbolized to all the faith people had in Jesus when he healed them of their sickness and such. Everything that happens to Neo throughout the movie is almost the exact life Christ led. This is just unbelievable that a movie that was so popular had such a different theme than it first portrayed.
