So, in The Matrix, can I share with you all my religious observations on it?
Yes, please.
As you are a Catholic, you were raised Catholic.
That's why religion intrigues me. First, Neo, that's an anagram of the one.
He's the savior.
Right. All right. So, now watch. There are
Early in the film, he wakes up and there's someone knocking at the door. Apparently, he hacked something for them.
And so, he says, "Wait a minute." He goes back, rummages through a thing, gives him a disc.
Right.
And the guy says, "Thanks. You're my savior. You're my regular Jesus Christ."
Yeah. You're my own personal Jesus Christ.
That's his script line. Let's not stop there.
There's the part where he gets brought into the Nebuchadnezzar and there's
Joey Pants.
Joey Pants. He's just looking and then that character, Cypher, is startled. And he says, "You scared the Jesus out of me."
Yeah, that's true.
Okay, so hang on. Who betrays the group?
Cypher.
Cypher.
Yes. He's the Judas.
He's Judas.
Yeah, he's the Judas.
After the bejesus was scared out of him.
Yeah.
He doesn't have Jesus in him.
Jesus in him.
Okay, let me keep going.
Keep going.
And here's the difference. Everyone sort of decides that he's the one. All right.
He is the one.
I told you he is the one.
He is the one.
Believe it now, Trinity?
Fast forward towards the end. He gets shot point-blank
Right.
by Smith.
Yes.
Then he drops.
He keeps firing into him.
Yes.
Do you know how many bullets he put in him?
I don't.
I don't.
Tell you.
Tell me.
It requires a little bit extrapolation.
Okay.
Bullets you see,
it's like four bullets point-blank to the chest.
Okay.
We go back to the Nebuchadnezzar and you see his body responding, but if you track the rate that bullets are being fired, then we come out of the scene and there's a few more bullets.
Right.
That's 14 bullets. There are 14 stations of the cross.
I didn't know that.
In every church, Catholic church, typically in the pillars that surround the main open area
from the side areas mounted facing inward are 14 drawings painting of the 14 they're called stages of the cross.
Got it.
They're key moments
in the life.
It's a visual sequencing, okay?
Interesting.
He's tried under Pontius Pilate, he he carries the cross.
Uh-huh.
He's put up on the cross.
Oh.
He dies on the cross, okay?
yeah, yeah.
Now,
Interesting.
and he dies.
Right.
Then he's resurrected.
Resurrected, right there.
Back more powerful than ever before.
That's right.
Is that not Jesus?
That's Jesus all day.
Joining the side of God.
That's Jesus all day.
All day.
So, who's Trinity?
Mary Magdalene, right there.
And who's Morpheus in the Christ mythology?
I'm trying to
He's the Baptist.
John the Baptist?
He's John the Baptist.
Oh, because John the Baptist knows Jesus is coming.
Yes, he knows who he is.
And sets everything up.
Essentially, what the story is and why it resonates with everybody is because it's the old told in a digital format.
