"The Matrix" (1999) is actually more Christian world view than I thought?

Now i know the theme of these movies is rebellion (Aka realizing the truth from the system) so. Not gonna 100% base my morality on these movies or anything. Although they are entertaining ideas for movies.

But specifically. The Machines made this world called Perfect world “The first Matrix”

But it failed? Why? because people wanted to wake up from that dream? And in lots of way is kinda similar to humans rebelling against God with Adam and Eve.

It’s many years since I saw that movie. I thought that the world that people wanted to wake up from was an illusion. If so, I think there might be a parallel with Christianity telling people that the comfort of the sinful world is an illusion. I recall Neo as a messiah figure. Whether it’s about rebellion or rejecting an illusion, I would say that the movie has some parallel with Christianity but not really a Christian worldview.

One of the first movies I ever bought on DVD and I didn’t really care for it after I watched it. It had some neat special effects that have since been parodied many times over, but I’m not really a fan of sci-fi (unless it is not too far off sci-fi—things that can actually happen in my life-time).

Sci-fi Movies that I do like:

  1. “Gattaca”
  2. “Strange Days”
  3. “The Final Cut”
  4. “The Island”
  5. “Children of Men”
