Neo Symbolizes Jesus In The Movie The Matrix
Throughout the movie The Matrix, there are many comparisons that can be made between the character of Neo and Jesus Christ. First off is the overlying story of this movie. The story begins that when the Matrix was first constructed there was a man born inside who was able to control and change whatever he wanted. This man set many free from the Matrix and taught the truth to those whom he freed. After his death, it was prophesized than he would have a second coming and on his return would destroy evil and set the human race free, sound familiar? According to the Bible, Jesus was born on Earth and taught truth and light to his followers, much as this man had taught the truth of the Matrix to his followers. The Bible also goes on to say that after Jesus died, he rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven and remains there until his second coming. During the second coming of Jesus, he will defeat evil forever and set all those which believe in him free and give them everlasting life. It is my hope, that I can demonstrate with many examples that the directors and writers of this film intended Neo to symbolize Jesus Christ. In the beginning of the movie, we find Neo asleep at his computer desk at home. A few seconds after the s . . .
After exchanging money for a computer disk, one of the five individuals exclaims to Neo, “Halleluiah . In the Bible, Judas set into motion the events which would lead to the death of Jesus, in comparison, the actions of Cipher set into motion the events which would cause Neo to choose between his life and the life of Morpheus and eventually to Neo’s own death. he’s fast”) they chose the words “Jesus Christ…he’s fast”, the very person that they are attempting to make Neo symbolize. One, can refer to Jesus as being the promised one. What this symbolizes is that Neo is being born into the real world. He then ascended into Heaven after giving his disciples the message to spread his word to others across the world. During the training mission in which Neo fights Morpheus, Neo begins to speed up his assault on Morpheus to which the observing character “Mouse” comments, “Jesus Christ…. In connection with the previous idea, during the final fight scene between Agent Smith and Neo, Trinity says out loud: "Jesus - they're killing him," as either a prayer or use of the Lord's name in vain - but it has double meaning for the allegory. In the Bible, Zion was the name of a fortified city, also known as the City Of David. The second clear similarity between Jesus and Neo can be seen when, after being born into the real world, Neo is retrieved from the water by Morpheus’ ship, the Nebuchadnezzar. Two, after being baptized by the water below, there is a scene in the movie in which Neo is seen being grabbed by a large steel claw radiating straight down from the center of three bright white lights located on the bottom of the Nebuchadnezzar. Also, Neos’ full name in the movie is Thomas Anderson, the name Anderson means “Son of Man”, and as we all know Christ is known as the Son of Man throughout the Bible. There are three different anagrams possible, 'NEO', 'ONE', and 'EON'. The Biblical reference stands of clearly here, for according to the Bible, the Trinity stood for God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost.
