matrix, like i said, was a two hour special effect and nothing more
there is no plot, there is no deep meaning
they wanted to suck you back in for more money, and it worked everytime

I am certainly not one of the freaks above
When I say meaning I dont mean there is something going on the Wachowski Brothers arent telling us directly (the case of the matrix freaks you see in the pic

) or they are keeping a secret they know that we dont.Thats BS.They took elements from teachings from philosophy and religions and impemented them in the movie.The movie is a parallelism of these teachings.Perhaps if you ever tried to think about the things happening around you, spent some time with some books(Platon, Socrates etc) and even a few science books, the whole movie would have seem totally different to you.
As for the money part tell me what movie doesnt want to be a money magnet.If I were the directors of the Matrix or any other movie my thoughts would have been "I want money.But why not make a movie that has my beliefs and knowledge that I ll enjoy making and others will enjoy watching?"
Thats exactly what I see in the Matrix.Its not a movie for everyone.I accept the fact that many saw and loved the movie because of the effects.I accept that many saw and loved the movie for the action scenes.I accept there are Matrix freaks(pic above) that find excuses to make the movie sound as if "ITS DE GREATEST MOVIE EVER PEOPLE!!OPEN YOUR MINDS AND FREE YOURSELVES FROM DE MATRIX" shit.
But there is also a group of people that noticed how well different teachings were implemented in a parallel form in the movie.Some probably didnt like the way they were paralled becuase it was too excessive for their tastes.Some of tese people liked it because they dont mind the science fiction.There are also some people that loved the style of the movie and the way they paralleled things in the movie.
Personally I like the mangish feeling(no other movie seemed to manage this feel so well), the sensation of the movie and the parallelism.Also what I like in this movie is the fact that it lets people have their own interpretations of th eplot independently from what the directors wanted to show.And thats how art works and surrealistic poetry.
