One of the greatest movies of all time and WHY!

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 1999)

When I went to watch The Matrix I thought the special effects were going to be the selling point in the movie... gladly I was wrong. I found out to my surprise that the story and the psychological emotional elements of the story were profound and so thought provoking. The Story (psychologically) you need to think!
1) The actual idea and conception of the Matrix is really frightening to the extent that we begin to see that humans who create technology then are enslaved by it(much better than Terminator 2 in storyline). This reminds me of our present situation where computers and genetic engineering is slowly changing how we live in 1999. Science is slowly making us slaves and we are doing nothing about it, we don't even care or notice it but accept it as progress. This movie is an early or late warning signal - will anyone take notice?!
2) This movie is about the bible and how Christ saves us from the demons (the men in black with sunglasses). We see birth and incarnation, prophecies of the coming messiah and the search for this messiah. We see sacrificial love and ultimate betrayal (Judas) and people in sin but do not realize it. The fact that many people miss this plot twist in the movie makes me feel very very sad and proves that people are deluded and have not got a working or spiritual knowledge of the bible and what Christ did for humanity. The bringing down of the divine to the enslaved earth. If these points do not create any form of emotions I feel sorry for humanity in general.
Rating 10/10
PS If you liked this movie which makes you think, also watch: Total Recall(1990), The Usual Suspects(1995) and particularly Vertigo(1958) by Alfred Hitchcock and ask yourself the question; where do dreams and nightmares start and end?
