Religious themes within the film The Matrix. film directed by The Wachowski Brothers

religious themes within the film The Matrix <Tab/>Within the 1999 sci-fi blockbuster movie of the year The Matrix directed by The Wachowski Brothers, it is evidently shown that religious themes are portrayed. Christianity is seen as the central theme although; other religious customs play an immense role revealing a prestigious amount of footage. Non-religious themes also contribute and appeal to the effectiveness of the film. The basic plot of the movie …

…way everything comes full circle (as Shakespeare would say) and all relates back to a religious theme. In conclusion I believe that the concept of the film was to relate the religious theme of Neo and Jesus, so it would be clear to the audience that Neo was being viewed as the Messiah. And to also make the viewers think harder and give a total different perspective on the world that they think they know.
