The Matrix vs. The Lord of the Rings (country, single)

PhishFood · 08-09-2005, 10:16 PM

The first movie The Matrix is completely one of my favorites, and i'd pick it over any one of the Lotr movies, but since we're stacking up trilogies I have to go Lotr

i agree and everything they said in reloaded happened in revolutions so if you got that, then there really is no need.

This sums up the Matrix movies for me.

'OK in the first two movies we`ll do this , this , this , this & this , it`ll be great.'
'Cool , but how do we resolve it all in the last movie'
'Who the hell cares , they`ll watch any old **** after the first two anyway'

Oh yes. We talked bout that in school for more than three months.
And it's true: The names ("Neo" is an anagram for the "One", btw), the dialogues, the objects, the colours, the score... I heard at least 12 presentations bout that topic. I could show you mine...

I think its more acurrate to say that The Matrix is not so much based on The Bible Specifically, but more a composite of various archetypical and mythological themes from various world religions and belief structures including Judaism and Christianity.

Yes, that's true, but the majority of parallels is from the bible. So that means Jewry and Christianity.

Ah, I need to search for it...
But, for example:

The name of their ship is "Nebuchadnezzar", it's from the book of Daniel:

Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of the Babylonian Empire, was the epitomy of evil. He would dine on the heart torn from a living rabbit, and it was his army that brutally destroyed Jerusalem, burned the Temple of Solomon, and exiled the surviving remnant of Jews to Babylon.

And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
