- The Matrix is one of the most
- profound motion pictures of this
- generation. Dig it -- The Evil Rulers
- of the earth have completely
- hoodwinked humanity by placing
- everyone into a huge, virtual reality.
- Only a few free humans survive -- and
- the Artificially Intelligent (and
- sentient) Machines want to destroy
- them.
-
- Enter Neo Anderson, a computer
- hacker who senses something is
- essentially wrong with the world. He
- is searching for Morpheus, the leader
- of a rebel band. However, Morpheus
- finds Neo, and through a black leather
- clad femme fatale named Trinity,
- invites Neo to take the Red Pill --
- and wake up in reality. The three go
- on to battle the Machine, and Neo
- discovers -- through death -- that he
- IS the One who is to save humanity
- from the great Lie.
-
- "Neo" means "New", and "Anderson"
- means "Son of Man". "Morpheus" means
- "He who Shapes or Creates". "Trinity"
- obviously refers to the triune God of
- Christianity. And (as an intersting
- side note), in Hebrew and Greek, the
- word for Spirit is always feminine.
- Only in Latin is "Spiritus" a
- masculine name. The first thing Neo
- says to Trinity is, "I've heard of
- you. I thought you were a guy!"
-
- Not only does this triune force of
- Creator, Son, and Spirit work together
- to free humanity, the reality of Neo
- being The One is not realized until he
- has been killed by the agents of the
- Machine. With a kiss of love from
- Trinity in reality, Neo's virtual body
- rises with a new and complete
- perception of the deception.
-
- Whether or not you believe we live
- in a prison world and need to be saved
- -- you must admit it makes one heck of
- a story!
-
- And, of course, the movie Matrix
- has absolutely nothing to do with this
- program -- or the other way around.
- This is a classic game that is
- arcade-easy to learn, and devilishly
- hard to master.
-
- Enjoy!
