There is a lot of anti-US and anti-Christian bias in films,but i don't see the parallels the author is trying to draw with the Matrix.Maybe i'm just not "deep" enough.When Hollywood wants to make a political statement it's usually pretty blatant.BTW i haven't seen Matrix2 yet.I heard it's not very good.
The Matrix films were about as blatant as one can make it -- a "hero" slaughtering FBI/Secret Service "Agents" by the dozens. The negative responses to this particular item seem to hang up mainly on the quick references to the Matrix films offered by the author at the beginning. Problem is, it appears that few of the critics here seem to have actually paid attention while viewing the Matrix films, or bothered to ever read any of the numerous commentaries on the film that can be found online (where the authors actually read what the Wachowski Brothers, Cornel West, and a French radical named Baudrillard said about the movie's themes). The Matrix films don't clearly reveal the "plot" until the third film. The men behind the films, along with West and Baudrillard, have since made no bones about the fact that the films attempted to give a "revolutionary virtual cinema" adaptation of two books: one by a left-wing nihilist author (Baudrillard, who discusses nihilistic cultural terrorism in the article Neo is seen turning to in Matrix 1.0 to get at his store of digital representations of mescaline, and was the guy who popped up on some media outlets here briefly when he wrote publicly that we asked for 9/11!) and a top member of the Democratic Socialists of America named Cornel West (who has roles on the Politburo shown in Matrix 2.0 and 3.0). West revealed publicly in 2003 that the Brothers indicated to him that West's book Prophesy Deliverance (Marxist neo-Christian revolution) was a key inspiration for the film. Check out Baudrillard's comments about 9/11, and then consider that he once revealed that he rejected a request to play a role in Matrix 2.0-3.0 -- you can't get more "obvious" about what the films were pushing. They were the most blatant Marxist propaganda EVER seen widely here, complete with theme music from a band infamous for advocating terror emulating the Marxist "Weathermen."
