From my simple understanding, many ways of thinking in the film refer to Buddhism, or the whole film is through the Buddhist system to convey a story that may shake all your ideas.
Neo was told by Morpheus at the beginning not to be obsessed with right and wrong. That is to say, in such a world, whether rules and common sense have a definition of right and wrong is itself the beginning of shaking. Then he began to explain the matrix. He kept saying that he couldn't give a thorough explanation and that what it was could only be seen by Neo himself. In Buddhism, the "self" is empty, and the self has no sense of security and builds a self through various external factors so that the true view is heavily obscured. Because layer by layer decomposition will reveal that this world, this self does not exist for a long time, but in the movie, it is the matrix. The little novice in the prophet's house pointed out the essence. Nothing has changed, only you have changed, and this also determines the direction of the whole movie.View more about The Matrix reviews
