Faith, Film, & Philosophy, ch. 5

I remember watching the Matrix at the theaters in college. Walking out of the movie, I was convinced that it was a Christian movie. I have since been disabused of that position, finding it to be existentialist and Gnostic. This chapter builds the case for Matrix being Gnostic and takes the evidence point by point. After the second Matrix, I did not bother to see the third. So, I felt a bit lost in some of the assessment. A work as epic as the Matrix trilogy leaves a story-line difficult to follow, even if you have seen it.
