Astounding Gnostic Wisdom!

Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2000)

The Matrix must be one of the most astounding movies I have ever seen! Pity I missed it at the cinema, but at least with the vid I could stop, rewind, and get it EXACTLY right! I don't go in for idolising actors; I'd rather I didn't know who they "really" were! Sure Keanu Reeves is spunky: so what?! He is great in this movie, which is more to the point.
I have not noticed this point made by any commenter yet, but to my mind this movie is based HEAVILY on Gnostic thought. I actually concluded that it was a lesson using the medium of cinema and the language of current Pop culture to deliver some profoundly thought-provoking teachings about the nature of Reality and how we perceive it.
The Gnostics are claiming it as a pop-statement of their beliefs. The Buddhists are doing the same. I think they are both correct!
LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!....... and YES! (check some Gnostic thought),and see it again!
