Christianity in the Matrix

Rating: Null/10 (30 September 2002)

There was many similarities between the Christian faith and The Matrix. Perhaps it was completely unintentional but there was quite a few parallels. Many characters in the movie corresponded with characters from The Bible, and some of the stories in the bible matched up with the storyline and the plot of The Matrix. Neo was like Jesus, Morpheus was like John the Baptist, Trinity was like Mary, and Cypher was like Judas. Judas betrayed Jesus just as Cypher betrayed Morpheus and Neo. Also the rebirth of Neo was alot like baptism. Cypher was in many ways exactly like Judas, and The Matrix could be seen as a comparison to our world. I think there was alot of similarities between The Matrix and The Bible and one really good one was how morpheus gave his life for Neo, even though the characters were different it lines up with Jesus' death on the cross.
