The life of jesus and socrates are compare to the matrix because in the Matrix neol is very important he was "the one". He was chosen by morpheus who was more of the leader and teacher for neol. Morpheus was the one to help neol or show neol how to believe. It was more like if neol believe that he was "the one" then he can do anything and the people behind him could believe that he was the "the one" and spread word to othe people so they can follow him. Socrates the chosen one was the man that got the opportunity to get freed and see the world and he can spread brand new news about what he saw in this new land and to explain the true meaning behind the fire and the shadow. jesus story was very similar because jesus was chosen from god to spread the word, "truth" to the people so they could follow spread his teaching throughout the world. jesus was trained to understand the true meanings of gods teachings and to make sure he could believe. Another similarity in the matrix was when neol died and came back to life. he came back to life to finally believe that the matrix is real and he was the chosen one and that he understand what he have to do. the matrix was soemthing that only he could understand to know if it was real or night. Scorates it was more of a miracle that that one of the slave got freed and that he was able to see the real world and understand what he saw to back and tell the others. He did not get kill but it was more like a rebirth to the slave.
The matrix suppose to mean a world where everthing exist only if you believe and not just because it is there. It was computer rise world that was created from machines. The matrix would not be safe if Mr. Smith was able to destroy it. Mr. Smith was more like the devil. where neol was the one that suppose to stop his negative spreadings. jesus was to spread the word of god words, positve ways of live and treating each other. In socrates knowledge represent good and no knowledge is evil. The Cave in Socrates was like a world which has no knowlegde of the outside world and what goes on. the cave was hell. visual information the matrix gives helps us understand what neol was searching for and what answer he get.
The matrix cold be a great commentary on film because the matrix is more of philosophical, science fiction movie with a lot of action and question that was not answered until the end. It is confusion but, you would have to watch it more than once to understand.
