i can see how the creators came up with the thomas name, but do you think anderson was intentional? I mean do you think they really understood its meaning? if so that is truly amazing.

Almost EVERY line, word, number and name in that movie has double and even triple meanings... that is what makes the movie so amazing to me, it is layered throughout :-)

Another hidden meaning the author of the article missed with regard to religious references, Nebuchadnezzar also pertains to people refusing to worship a false religion and then being rescued from destruction by a savior.

Relating to the "twin" or "double" theme, you constantly see Neo twice... in mirrors, reflected off windows, computer screens, sunglasses, even that spoon. Neo's metamorphasis takes place with a shattering of that mirror or "double"... that enormous mirrored building rippling and then exploding to fill the screen.

The whole movie is constant levels and layers, it's fascinating and you catch something different every time you watch LOL

What I liked about it wasn't that it was just Hong Kong wire kung fu fighting only. There was something for the mind other than eye candy. This is as deep as a movie can get and be entertaining which is why I think the "Philosophy for Dummies" critique is unwarranted. The movies are visual mediums and thus visual short hands are the only effective way of putting forth any meaning.
