The Matrix

I watched The Matrix a few days ago and I discovered that I'm addicted to video games... I've seen the movie before but this fact just never occurred to me until then. See I've never taken the red pill so I guess I'm playing video games right now. Everything I do is something in a video game... I always get mad at my brother for playing to many video games and not using his imagination but he was thrilled to discover that this world is a video game. I nearly had to threaten him to get off his DS to watch the movie after promising him that he would love it. Now whenever we talk he usually says something about how this or that isn't real. I think my family made the right decision by making him watch it rather than play video games... So the ultimate solution to video game addiction is take the red pill. I am a red pill supporter. I need to make that a facebook group or something...
I always connect sort of unrelated things all the time and I did when I watched the Matrix this time. Maybe the Matrix is what happens when John Connor eventually dies, or if Arnold Schwarzengger failed to save Sarah or John in any of the movies. I do have to state that I've never seen any of the Terminator films just the excellent show Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles which I will never forgive Fox for canceling.
I guess if you haven't guessed I'm sorta into Sci-Fi (personally I think that the new SyFy is not nearly as cool as the old one and I'm really having trouble figuring out how Jason Bourne or National Treasure have ANYTHING to do with Sci-fi). The majority of my favorite shows resolve around something sci-fi or paranormal. I really don't understand how something like a soap opera could be entertaining but in their defense I've never watched one. My favorite movies are a little more diverse.
There is a lot of stuff going on in the Matrix movies. Neo is definitely a savior or Jesus figure but so is John Connor. I mean look at both of their names Neo means new and his girlfriend's name is Trinity (Morpheus completes the trinity). There you go, 3 people- the holy trinity allusion. I am by no means saying that Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus are the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit but just symbolizing them. Also, John Connor's initials are JC. Can anyone think of someone else's initials who are JC (hint: Jesus Christ). Yet again I'm not saying that this character is as important or perfect as the real Jesus Christ I'm just pointing out cleaver things people do in movies...
