Ok, maybe it's just so obvious no-one is mentioning it, or it was missed in the deep Eastern Religous Philosophy:
Big healthy honking helping of Western Religous Philosophy.
Matrix 1 had the obvious death and rebirth scenario. Heck I can't imagine a better Judas than Joe Pantoliano. Check the cabin numbers, it goes on and on.
Matrix 2? Beats me. All I've gotten has been a possible reference from the Merovingian. (I'm TOLD that this is an old family nobility that's suppose to have decended directly from Jesus.) We do no he comes from an earlier revision of the Matrix... moving on.
Matrix 3: I won't smack you in the face with it, just do these substitutions and rethink the movie and the supposed 'aimlessness' of the plot.
Revolution=Revelation
Zion=Heaven (It's all good.)
Machine City=Hell
Matrix=Earth
Squiddies=Demons
Zion Residents=People that have left their mortal life on earth/angels
Neo=Jesus (again)
Agent Smith ("his polar opposite")=anti-christ
Oracle=God (Possible trinity of Oracle as the father, Neo the son, and the source the holy ghost).
Architect=Devil
Guesses from the not-well-versed in new testimate (me)...
Trinity=Mary Magdalin
Morpheus=John the Baptist
Final battle ya-all.
From this perspective (and the liberal dash of Eastern religion we are talking deep layers and a story that probably couldn't play out any other way). Mind you I still think the final wrap-up and vague ending SUCKED. I don't believe that good needs evil to survive.
Btw, I think Sati is a Color Management program (notice no more green cast in the matrix at the end.) Whatever that means.
Anyone with more insight than my limping excuse for analysis? I never took a comparative religion course (and missed 100% of the Eastern references).
