Well, if the story is that the rebellion ITSELF is part of the Matrix, then they REALLY aren't our saviors.

That's kind of a hopeless conclusion and quite dismal.

It fits in much more with Eastern religions than the West, well except gnosticism. If the entire world is a big deception, from the POV of the movie, then the entire trilogy is a big waste.

Darth was Luke's dad, but at least all the characters' actions MEANT something. If everyone in the rebellion are fools, it renders all their actions and all their sacrifices meaningless.

Kind of like a bad series finale, where someone wakes up and discovers it was really just a dream.

I disagree. It fits in better with Christianity. Jesus came to show us that the material world is not real. That is, there is no physical law. That is why he walked on water. That is why he healed. That is why he raised himself from the dead.

Jesus did not want to be worshipped. He was the Way-shower.

Neo does the same, shows physical laws are not real, but an illusion of the clouded mind.

Buddhism does not have a resurrection.
