That blockbuster science fiction trilogy starred Keanu Reeves in the role of a "Neo" (actually false) Jesus Christ who rejects Christian and Western culture in favor of Nihilistic revolution to save a Bolshevik-influenced "Zion" by imposing a revolutionary Eastern "order" controlled by an Indian goddess ("Sati") upon the "bourgeois" (quoting the Merovingian) capitalist commodities inside "the Matrix."

I'd like to know the list of controlled substances this clown was taking when he was watching the Matrix movies.

The ability of the new "perpetually indignant" (a term PJ O'Rourke coined for perpetually whiny and offended leftists, but unfortunately it now seems there are plenty on the Religious Right) to find an anti-Christian agenda when none exists is astounding.

No kidding. And writing style is so turgid. Change a few words around, and this could be a screed from a Communist Party Newsletter.

The Matrix is open to many interpretations. If you lived in the world of the movie, "reality" is in the eye of the beholder. However you see it, that's the world that exists. We all live in a solipsistic universe of sorts.

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.

Yep. He was either on drugs or he never even watched any of the Matrix movies in the first place (and 'heard' about them from others).

The Wachowski Brothers made it clear in interviews (Detroit Free Press, etc.) that the inspiration for their films was Cornel West's Marxist revolutionary take on Christianity, which was itself an "innovation"/critique of Western institutional doctrines.

My first thought when reading the opening paragraph was, "this guy needs to have his medication adjusted!" LOL!!!
