There was a lot of very interesting Jewish theology in the movie. In=20
the first movie, the concept of the matrix itself twisted concepts=20
about the very nature of the physical world. In this movie, the overall=20
plot followed an opinion about the messiah, twisted based on the whole=20
nature of trying to escape the matrix. In the same way, much smaller=20
parts of the story also took Jewish theology and twisted them. I=20
actually enjoyed the twisting, it gave my brain questions to analyze.

It's a disappointment that it looks like the third story will probably=20
be a more Christ/Antichrist kind of deal. Notice what happened at the=20
beginning of the movie to the one person who was rescued at the end of=20
the movie. (I'd be more specific, but I don't know who hasn't seen the=20
movie)

(Writing that last sentence makes me ask: what's the proper name for=20
the guys whose minds have been freed but who keep going back into the=20
matrix to do their work?)
