Caid Ivik Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 I was taking some interesting conversations with some people studying eastern religions, and it every time turned into polemization about famous sci-fi movie Matrix. Altough infilitration of hindu and buddhist sects is real from 1960s, the Matrix, with its all popularity is most influental, because its thinkings are hidden under sci-fi cover. How many people dreamed about that mysterious red pilule to find what is it all about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjCiD Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 I'm still curious as to what would of happened if he (Neo) swiped both pills and swallowed them ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muad dib Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 After I saw that movie I did question a lot of things, but the matrix might come true after all of these wars are over I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emprworm Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 actually the matrix is chocked full of biblical references. there are numerous websites linking the christian faith to the movie and showing all the parrellels. the authors, when asked about biblical references admitted they were all intentional, (though did not confess how many of them are in there)...all the way down to the number "333" on the room where Neo makes his final call. there are dozens upon dozens of them.the "matrix" is the world we live in now, we are blinded by naturalism and forget the reality that we are engaged in a supernatural war of good and evil. now please understand, I am not endorsing this movie as a biblical movie, I am just saying that it has many parallels.http://awesomehouse.com/matrix/parallels.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurlyPIG Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 It's a very deep movie. No doubt it has parallels to many, many situations in reality. That's why it was so populare. That's why it's so intriguing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude_Doc Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 And that's why it is soo good... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inoculator9 Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 I don't think you should read so much into it. It was a great movie, but I don't think it's gonna give us much insight into life, lol. Also, I don't think the sequels will be as good as the first ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caid Ivik Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 The known scene, were Matrix agents fire on Neo, but bullets stop ahead of his face and fall. Wasn't that also from last Mara's seducement of Buddha, when he fired at him thousands of burning arrows, which turned into flowers due to Buddha's sugestion?

Acriku Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Not necessarily Caid, he just manipulated the program he was in. If it was in real world, then probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caid Ivik Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 Yes! He manipulated the unreal world, which we, normal people, call real! That's the main cause of buddhism, reprogramming the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Oh ok I see your point, man those brothers (who made the matrix) really got deep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurlyPIG Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Or maybe they didn't? Maybe innoculator is right and we're just reading into it way too much? Who knows! Maybe Mopheus. Maybe the oracle knows. Too bad they aren'd real. Damn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caid Ivik Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 Matrix was done by some hindu sect. That's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
