According to the inferences in our previous two articles, Neo is the Son of God (see "The Matrix" in-depth interpretation: The mystery of Neo's life experience ), and Morpheus is the Holy Spirit (see The Matrix: Morpheus is actually in the Bible Holy Spirit?! ) The conclusion is obvious.
But in fact, the inferences of the Son and the Holy Spirit are extremely cheap and affirmative in this film. So, since the Son and the Holy Spirit appear in this film, and the "Trinity" appears, the Father will inevitably appear. From the movie posters and the film, it is clear that the three persons of the "Trinity" are Neo, Murphys and Trinity. Since Neo is the Son and Morpheus is the Holy Spirit, it seems obvious that Trinity is the Father. But this result makes us panic. Why is the Holy Father a woman? Why doesn't the Holy Father have his aura? Why is the Father not as good as the Son?
First of all, still start with the name of the character. "Trinity", the English name "Trinity", means "Trinity". And the discovery of the existence of the "Trinity" theory of this film comes from the name of this character. In other words, it can be said that the existence of the Son and the Holy Spirit come from this.
Next, it is well known that the Son is born by the Father, and has a close relationship with the Father and the Father. This actually answers the question of why the Holy Father is a female image. The matrix in the film is an illusory electronic world created by a computer. The English name of the matrix: "Matrix", which also means "womb", is "the mother of the control center" and "the place where life is conceived." The uterus is a unique organ for women, and its greatest function is to breed life. It does not seem so difficult to accept the female image as the mother image.
At the same time, Trinity also took on the task of awakening the Son. In the film, although the person who single-handedly contributed to the awakening of the Son from the mother is Morpheus, it is not difficult to find that the first "non-maternal person" the Son sees in the mother is actually Trinity. And in the process of awakening the resurrection of the Son, Trinity’s kiss is actually a key that cannot be ignored. Moreover, the "feminine consciousness" mentioned in "Analysis of Dreams" clearly states that "women can lead people into the mysterious realm and perfect state". This also confirms that at the end of the film, the Son lost his eyes under the company of Trinity alone, but at the same time gained a way to see the gleaming real world and accompany him to the source of the world.
Let’s look at the definition of God again: “God is a God, and in terms of transmittable attributes, he is” “unchanging, unique, perfect, and great”; “In terms of nature of nature, God is omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent". In terms of "never change", from the beginning of the film to the end of the film, Trinity has always been a self-confident and arrogant "perfect" "omnipotent" character. The perfect composition of this film also clearly makes this character "unique". As for "greatness" is also a necessary attribute of a woman, she is willing to do anything for Neo. Her "omniscience" is for the Son. Before the Son woke up from the illusory world, before the Son saw the Prophet for the first time, it was Trinity who accompanied the Son and solved his doubts. What's very interesting about this film is the presentation of "omnipresent". The character of Trinity is a very important presence in this film in terms of her identity, not to mention her identity as the heroine. She seems to be there all the time, in any scene. But when you think about it, you will find that apart from her cool fighting scenes and her emotional scenes with Neo, she doesn't seem to have any special sense of existence.
More deadly, Trinity died at the end of the film. God is dead.
This seems to be a very shocking ending, God actually died.
And a careful audience will find that in this film, God died twice: the first time he was resurrected, and the second time was the real death. A closer look at the film will reveal that another character in the film also died twice. It was also resurrected for the first time, and died the second time. This person is the Son-Neo.
An analogy to analyze the deaths of Neo and Trinity:
In other words, it can be said directly that Trinity was "damned" and died.
Nietzsche's "God" is "damn it" because he "has constrained people's activities and spirits" and so on. Analogous to Nietzsche, you will actually find that Trinity is also "damn it" at this time. Because her existence restricts Neo's steps to find the real world, because Trinity's existence is the biggest reason Neo wants to stay in this world, and it's the only reason.
Further analysis will reveal that Trinity’s image of God is not aimed at the general public. On the contrary, her sense of existence is very low, and the public doesn't even know the existence of her as a God. Trinity's image of God is only for Neo personally, she is the most true God in the world, and the only God of Neo.
The "God" of the masses is actually Neo. To say "God" is actually slightly wrong, because Neo's roots come from people, and his closer image is "Holy Son", that is, "Jesus". He comes from people and wants to save people. The best pronoun is "the one", "savior".
It is Neo who truly realizes the death of God, and the public is expecting Neo (ie their God) to return. The public did not really believe in Neo's death.
Neo recognized the death of God, so he started to stand on his own, using his power to fight (or face) the reality of this world. But the public did not realize the death of God, because they still need a faith to sustain their lives, but at the same time they are struggling with the seemingly stubborn fate. That is, "the weak form an ant colony", and want to "conquer the strong" through "gang ethics".
And in the process of watching the movie, you will also find that the image of Neo is actually the image of "superman", he is a superman out of the masses. The "weak" actually can't really get the "superman's teaching" and kill the "will to power". "Because of the will to power" is "human", and what "superman" has to do is to kill "human" to win the "future world".
The "person" Neo wants to kill here is actually himself, and the "human characteristics" still remain in his body. "The superman who killed the will to power" will not be obsessed with his own "will to power" like ordinary people, but will choose the opposite way-"becoming humble", which is the choice of death in the film.
To sum up these three statements: God's death made Neo (son, Jesus) stand up to face the reality of this world; and Neo's death made the seeds of faith planted in the hearts of the people. Because Neo is a "superman", he has to face the reality of this world on behalf of the people in this world; and the people are the "weak", they only need a belief to maintain their own survival, to feel that they have the "strong". Backing to maintain their own survival.
It can also be inferred that the core idea of this film is that "the future of mankind is ultimately explored by mankind." Although this film is a true religious film, its core is not "god", but "man", and the huge potential that "man" can exert in fighting the predicament of fate.
The "Holy Son," "Holy Spirit," and "Holy Father" of the Trinity finally returned to their positions, and it is the human beings who will eventually face the dilemma of the world.
