Look at the Matrix again

In the past, because I didn’t know much about religion, I didn’t really understand the theme of The Matrix. I always thought it was a movie about science fiction and philosophy. I didn’t realize how good this movie was until I learned about some religious culture recently. The movie is not only full of great information but also hits the essence of life. In fact, regardless of philosophy, religion, or science fiction, no matter how brilliant they are, they are only the coat of life. What we should really pay attention to is life, because life is the essence and meaning of the universe, and Nietzsche said that civilization no longer exists without human nature. any meaning.
Today should be the seventh time I watch The Matrix, and this time I finally understand the Matrix. It turns out that the core of the film is about Christian teachings: sacrifice and dedication. The whole film is actually a combination of two cultural elements, the Old Testament of the Bible and artificial intelligence. Starring Keanu Reeves, also known as neo, is the savior who was prophesied by sacrifice, and the role of the Messiah played by Jesus in the Old Testament of the Bible. He is the son of God and the savior to save mankind. After being awakened by Morpheus, Neo realizes what the real world looks like, and understands that human beings are under the oppression of water and heat. But neo has not yet realized his responsibility, he has not really realized himself. And it was not until Morpheus sacrificed himself to save neo that neo began to truly know himself.
Morpheus is the most impressive character in the film, he is the decisive factor in this war between man and machine, and he relies on a powerful belief to find a savior and save all mankind. The scene where Morpheus sacrifices himself in the tunnel to save Neo is unforgettable. Morpheus, like Jonah in the Old Testament, awakens the Savior by sacrificing himself.
When neo slowly began to know himself, he decided to take responsibility and save others. At this time, neo began to awaken to become the savior of the world. In the duel with the firewall Smith software, neo and Smith were inseparable and finally killed by Smith, but Trinity rescued neo again through love, and the resurrected neo has the ability to program the parent system directly . This is also the resurrection of Jesus in the Old Testament. The resurrected neo has the highest power in the parent world and the ability to program the system directly, and the savior begins to save mankind.
In addition to the big cultural element of the Old Testament, there are two other cultural elements in the film, which are the theory of evolution and artificial intelligence. From Smith's dialogue with Murphys, it can be concluded that artificial intelligence is a natural enemy created by nature to prevent human beings from multiplying and destroying the natural environment. It not only reflects the great philosophical proposition of natural will, but also profoundly expresses the theory of evolution. This dialogue is truly amazing!
In the past, the most impressive thing about The Matrix was the concept of the matrix and the great philosophical proposition of whether the world really exists. It is only today that I understand that the core of The Matrix is ​​about sacrifice and dedication, and the relationship between self and others, and between self and the universe. The brutal and endless war between humans and machines symbolizes the cruel evolutionary law in nature: the natural selection of the fittest to survive. The contradictions and struggles between humans and artificial intelligence, can the real world only be endless cruel struggles?
The savior used his life to tell everyone that only love can save the world.
