ok, about the movie the matrix
first, in the first movie, when neo sells the disc to the gang of junkies (remember to follow the white rabbit) the guy buying the disc calls him his savior, my own personal Jesus Christ.
2. Trinity- this one is pretty blatent as in the Father, Son and Holy Ghost
3. The Oracle- very reminicent of the Old Testament book of Judges
4. Zion- the last remaining human city, Zion- according to Judaism it was the first human city
5. he does die and is brought to life again (when he got shot in the very end of the movie, he died, then he comes to life again
6. Cypher- the guy who was a member of the crew of the Nebeccanezzer (sorry i misspelled it) (think like the apostles) betrayed the group to the machines the same as Judas did
7. The name of the ship that the were on was taken directly from the bible
The Matrix Reloaded
1. Most of the characters stay in their same roles
2. The Merovingian- here is an obscure reference, according to the book "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" the Merovingian line of French Kings were decended from the Daughter of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene.
there were also some other overt references in the second one but most of them i can't remember because it's been so long, but when i watch it again, i'll get back to you on it
