If action is all you saw, then you weren't watching the movie!

Most people comment on the action or special effects when talking about The Matrix. That is not what the movie was all about though, watch closely and see what you can discover!
The symbolism in this movie is fantastic. A person has to know their history and mythology and really watch the way things are presented on the screen. I never knew that the name Morpheus is a mythological character of dreaming or that Nebuchadnezzar (the name of Morpheus' ship) was a ruler of the Babylonian empire who defeated his opponents to take over control. Every part of the movie is for a reason and has meaning. Things like this are what makes this movie great and enjoying to watch!
