The Matrix is everywhere, it’s all around us, here even in this room. You can see it out your window or on your television. You feel it when you go to work, or go to church or pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

 

Morpheus – The Matrix

Even for those who are not computer geeks, the Matrix story resonates on psychological or spiritual level. It asks a fundamental question that somehow connects deep in our psyche.

For some, it may be the Cartesian philosophical question, for others it may be the idea of an interconnectedness that binds us to each other and the universe. For others still, it may be about a hidden organisation that secretly controls the world. Of course, there’s always those that like it because it’s a kick-ass action movie with superhuman characters and cool martial arts scenes.
