Matrix is a Buddhist film!

Ever since the beginning of the film, the movie gives various signs of buddhist beliefs. Neo, one of the main characters, was trying to find out the truth of the Matrix. Morfeos, on the other hand, wanted to guide Neo towards finding the truth about the Matrix. 
"And when I found him (Morpheus), he told me i wasn't really looking for him. I was looking for the answer. It is the question that drives us. It is the question that brought you here. Do you know the question?" -Trinity

Morpheus can be compared to a Buddha because he is the one that leads the people to know the truth about the world they live in. Neo, Trinity, and the rest of the members represents us because we are the ones who always want to find the true meaning of life.

the biblical history of Israel is interesting.it is full of death and miracles. that range from having a 90 year old woman have kids to having Moses kill the Egyptian army.
now the Jewish religious history is very similar to the christian history. mainly because there canon is very similar.
