The matrix is an extraordinary film that has never been easily created. If we begin to analyse the film as whole, we can easily notice a lot of Christian and Gnostic elements. I am going to discuss about them.

When we begin to think about the Gnostic philosophy, we can see the existence of its principles and structures in The Matrix. According to the Gnostic philosophy, there are always a war and a struggle between The World of Goodness and The World of Badness (opposing world) as the movie indicates us.

There are three components of a human; soul, essence and body. The body and essence belong to the opposing world – in the film it is matrix –, the soul belongs to the World of Goodness –in the film it is Zion-.

He might have chosen the blue pill in order not to struggle the difficulties that could be faced. Neo chooses the red one, rejects the happiness of ignorance and begins to struggle with the machines. This demonstrates that he refuses the needs of his body and essence. If we remember the “The Woman in Red”, that was a software created by Mouse as a way

of testing Neo’s essence. He looks that sexy woman and fails the test. That is because his essence dominates his soul so essence is the winner. On the other hand, according to the information of Morpheus, all the souls that are not rescued are pieces of opposing world – machine world-. They are controlled by the machines, that is why he fails the test.

The Matrix is at the same time a very interesting interpretation of the story of Jesus. Both the journeys of Neo and Jesus have significant similarities. Although every detail is not exactly the same, both journeys have some similar important points.

In consequence, Wachowski Brothers are good at using martial art, computer technology, and music while giving the opinions or desires about their worldview.

The first similarity that I want to explain is about the “births” of Neo and Jesus. After taking the red pill, he wakes up in the real world, in a place like a womb filled with red, sticky fluid like pleasanta. The birth of Neo was not a result of sexual relation. So he had a kind of virgin birth. Jesus, as we know, was born in the womb of Virgin Mary. Therefore it can be said that the births of two characters are similar.
