Neo/Christ Parallels
It's 1999, and Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) is living two lives, one working at a software company, the other as computer hacker alias Neo. When he sells a bootleg piece of software to an acquaintance, he is asked to come to a club. Hesitant at first, he goes to the club, and befriends a woman by the name of Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss). She speaks to him about the matrix, knowing that he is in pursuit of the answer. The question: what is the matrix? A few days later, He's contacted by a man known as Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), and asks him to meet. They eventually meet, and Morpheus brings Neo into his world, the “real world.” He reveals that the world Neo knows is merely a software program, called The Matrix, designed by machines to distract humans while they're used for fuel. The program perfectly simulates everyday life, creating an alternate universe down to the smallest detail. The Matrix is protected by Agents, programs whose purpose is to kill all who rebel against the machines. Morpheus believes Neo is ‘the one’ who can save mankind, destroy the machines and free the world from the virtual imprisonment. Morpheus brings Neo to the Oracle, the one who knows all. She (the oracle) tells him exactly what he
The Bible states this about John the Baptist: “The next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is He on behalf of whom I said, 'After me comes a Man who has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me'. And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God (John 1:29, 30, & 34)." "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel ", which translated means, "God with us" (Matthew 1:23). Christ was also referred to as: the "Son of Man" and “The Chosen One.” The name Thomas Anderson (Neo) has special meaning. "Thomas" is linked to "Doubting Thomas." Neo didn't fully believe he was "The One." He had to see for himself that he was "The One." "Anderson" is a name which means "Son of Man," a the name in which Jesus was often referred. The name "Neo" means "new" or "change," and is an anagram for "One," Change is exactly why Neo was there; he wanted to change the world!
