I remember watching the Matrix when it first came out and not really understanding it but just thinking it was cool because of all the special effects and fighting and guns, but this time around I actually understood what was going on, and why it was going on.
The special effects in this film are one of a kind and were pretty groundbreaking back in the day if I remember correctly. The thing that really set them over the edge was the slow motion of the bullets. Also all the figthing and jumping and action stuff was pretty cool but the bullets were definitely something never seen before.
After reading the article I can see where the guy is coming from when he compares Neo to Jesus. Which is pretty obvious when you think about it. Neo is the chosen one selected to save the human race. Sounds a lot like Jesus's story. Also they compare Morpheus to John the Baptist, Trinity to Mary Magdalene, and Cypher to Judas. The article also says something about the most fundamental problem according to Buddhism is our ignorance of existential reality. Which relates a lot to the Matrix.
After watching the Matrix for the second time I began to enjoy it more and more as it went on. Its cinematography really sucks you into the movie and is very well planned out. The story line is deep and makes you think. And once again the special effects and action are a step ahead of the rest.
