Rora, Transcriber DEFINITIONS There is no male or female in Christ Jesus (Gal. 3:28). Accordingly, all textual references to Male and female point to spiritual principles and the words man and men, as well as the pronouns, he, his and him, include, woman, women, she and her. Christ Jesus is the only spiritual male. Accordingly, all powers and principalities other than Christ Jesus are identified as female in relation to him. The powers and principalities which have incarnated this fallen world (2 Cor. 4:4) are male in relation to fallen mankind, and female in relation to Christ Jesus. John 7:17-18 17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. 18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

Vitale THE MATRIX RELOADED Is an adaptation of a Transcript of LEM Message #533, Review, Movie: The Matrix Reloaded - Commentary Which Was Transcribed and Edited For Clarity, Continuity of Thought, and Punctuation by: The LEM Transcribing and Editing Team The Matrix Reloaded An Edited Transcript of Living Epistles Message # 533 THE MATRIX RELOADED PART 1 This evening we are watching the movie entitled, "The Matrix Reloaded." This is the second movie in a trilogy which is three movies. We did quite an extensive commentary on the first movie called, "The Matrix." This is basically the difference that I see from the first, second, and third movies or parts of the trilogy. The first movie was an action movie. It had a lot of deep spiritual principles demonstrated, but for people who did not understand the deep spiritual principles, there was enough action to make it a runaway best seller. The second and third parts of the trilogy, "Matrix Reloaded," which we are doing tonight, and "Matrix Revolution," which, Lord willing, we will do some time in the future is much less of an action film. Although there are a couple of very strong action scenes, the spiritual principles were so deep that I had to watch the movie two and three times to really get it myself. 1 Now, the second and third parts of the trilogy were not a runaway best seller like the first part. I think that the reason why, this is why I am telling you, the reason why is that the message was so deep. There were a couple of colloquies or dialogues, maybe just five or ten minutes in the movie of straight dialogue, especially when the architect speaks, that I could not get it from the movie. I had to wait until the video was available, and I had to put it on replay several times to get what he was saying. How could the average person go to a movie, see this once and get it? I think the reason that the second and third parts of the trilogy were not runaway best sellers is because the spiritual principles were so deep that the average person could not comprehend them. It is a very exciting trilogy. Tonight we will be watch the movie, the second part of the trilogy. I will be stopping the movie to make comments. For the people listening to the tape you can try it just by listening to the tape, or you can rent the video if you want to. I will do my best to describe the scene that I am commenting on before I comment on it, so that anyone that wants to watch the movie along with us can relate to it. That is what we are going to do. We are going to go off tape now, and the movie starts with an action scene of Trinity entering into the Matrix with a bang. If anyone has a question, if there is anything that is happening on the screen that you do not understand, just raise your hand and we will stop the tape, and I will answer you. In the absence of anyone raising their hand, I will stop the tape when I feel that the movie requires an explanation. Please feel free to raise your hand, and we will stop the tape to answer any question that you have. Just in case there is somebody listening to the tape that did not see "The Matrix," Part 1, or has not listened to 2 our commentary on "Matrix" Part 1, let me tell you that the movie is about the human race being enslaved by machines. The Matrix is a computer-generated society, and a computer- generated world, which is supposed to exist...well let me not say it that way. The machine world has captured the human race and is holding them captive in a generator. The source of energy that the machine world needs is being extracted from human beings who are actually trapped and bound with all kinds of wires and cables connected to them. In order to make this existence tolerable for humanity, the machine world has generated this computerized fantasy or this computerized illusion whereby the people are captured and bound into pods, and this house that they actually think that they are living in, in a world that looks like the world that we are living in now. Of course, there is a measure of truth to this. This is Satan's world. Satan has incarnated this world, and she feeds off of the energy of the people of this world. If you want to hear more about that you need to listen to some more of the other tapes that have come forth in this ministry. Satan and all of her hoards feed off of humanity. Just like mosquitoes that bite us and take little sips of our blood, they feed off of us. There is a spiritual truth to this movie, and that is why we are analyzing this movie because of the spiritual truth that is present here. That is what the Matrix is, and there are a group of people who have escaped from the Matrix. They have pulled out all of their plugs that kept them plugged into these pods where they were continuously drained of their energy. They have escaped, and they have a city. The people that have escaped have a city. It is called Zion. 3 There is a war between the machine world and humanity. The principle that you will see emerging in this movie is that the only way the world is going to survive, both the world of humanity and the world of the machine, is that if the two worlds make peace and join with each other and work together for a better society. That is the underlying message of the movie. Right now, the machine world has suppressed humanity, continually using and abusing, and humanity is fighting back. The hero is a man called Neo, he is the one. There is a Messiah principle running through the movie. He is called the One. It is prophesied that he is going to save humanity and the whole world from utter destruction. Neo has a lover, her name is Charity, and they love each other desperately. It was prophesied...did I say Charity? Trinity, her name is Trinity. It is prophesied that Trinity would marry a dead man. In fact, Neo was briefly dead. Trinity's love raised him from the dead. This a theme I have seen in several modern movies or recent movies that human love can raise from the dead.

The Matrix as an Introduction to Mathematics Abstract In my classes on the nature of scientific thought, I have often used the movie The Matrix (1999) to illustrate how evidence shapes the reality we perceive (or think we perceive). As a mathematician and self-confessed science fiction fan, I usually field questionselated r to the movie whenever the subject of linear algebra arises, since this field is the study of matrices and their properties. So it is natural to ask, why does the movie title reference a mathematical object? Of course, there are many possible explanations for this, each of which probably contributed a little to the naming decision.

Edited by Marcus Leaning & Birgit Pretzsch The Desert of the Real: Christianity, Buddhism & Baudrillard in The Matrix Films and Popular Culture James F. McGrath Abstract The movie The Matrix and its sequels draw explicitly on imagery from a number of sources, including in particular Buddhism, Christianity, and the writings of Jean Baudrillard. A perspective is offered on the perennial philosophical question ‘What is real?’, using language and symbols drawn from three seemingly incompatible world views. In doing so, these movies provide us with an insight into the way popular culture makes eclectic use of various streams of thought to fashion a new reality that is not unrelated to, and yet is nonetheless distinct from, its religious and philosophical undercurrents and underpinnings.

He is the One: The Matrix Trilogy's Postmodern Movie Messiah Abstract Many films have used Christ figures to enrich their stories. In The Matrix trilogy, however, the Christ figure motif goes beyond superficial plot enhancements and forms the fundamental core of the three-part story. Neo's messianic growth (in self-awareness and power) and his eventual bringing of peace and salvation to humanity form the essential plot of the trilogy. Without the messianic imagery, there could still be a story about the human struggle in the Matrix, of course, but it would be a radically different story than that presented on the screen.

But the movie has plot as well. It has characters that I cared about. From Keanu Reeves' excellent portrayal of Neo, the man trying to come to grips with his own identity, to Lawrence Fishburne's mysterious Morpheus, and even the creepy Agents, everyone does a stellar job of making their characters more than just the usual action "hero that kicks butt" and "cannon fodder" roles. I cared about each and every one of the heroes, and hated the villains with a passion. It has a plot, and it has a meaning Just try it, if you haven't seen the movie before. Watch one of the fight scenes. Then watch the whole movie. There's a big difference in the feeling and excitement of the scenes- sure, they're great as standalones, but the whole thing put together is an experience unlike just about everything else that's come to the theaters. Think about it next time you're watching one of the more brainless action flicks If you haven't, you're missing out on one of the best films of all time. It isn't just special effects, folks.

  • Born to Be On-Line: Cyberpunk, Cyborgs and the Matrix Trilogy
    Hacettepe Üniversitesi Edebiyat Fakültesi Dergisi 2006 / Cilt: 23 / Say›: 1 / ss. 257-267 Born to Be On-line: Cyberpunk, Cyborgs and the Matrix Trilogy Kader YILMAZ* Abstract Films of science fiction, such as The Matrix (1999), and its sequels The Matrix Reloaded (2003) and The Matrix Revolutions (2003), are often categorized as cyberpunk which is a subgenre of contemporary science fiction. As typical examples of this type of science fiction, The Matrix and its sequels illustrate the concern of cyberpunk to envision a near future world where information technologies reign supreme, and shape the lives and affairs of societies including the lives and the very existence of individuals. More specifically, The Matrix trilogy depicts a future world that is populated with cyborgs, or posthumans, and run by a globally networked artificial intelligence called the matrix. In this respect these films do not only speculate on a highly technological near future but also on mankind`s changed existence in this environment. Especially, the image of the cyborg serves as a means to address the issue of the human and machine interface in these films. More importantly, the cyborg, or the post-human, in The Matrix and its sequels is not only emblematic of the human and machine interface but also of man’s very dependence on this technology as a means to survive in a highly mechanized environment. This paper argues that The Matrix and its sequels subvert the man vs. technology dichotomy and speculate on the altered existence of humans by envisioning and affirming the coexistence of man and the machine in the near future.

Reassessing The Matrix/Reloaded Abstract Much has been written about Larry and Andy Wachowski's film The Matrix and on practically every angle: from philosophical precedents to the realities of artificial intelligence. Religious scholars, oo,t have thrown their hats into the academic ring, expounding on the Gnostic, Buddhist and Christian aspects found therein. But as many have discovered, the Wachowski brothers are syncretists, pulling bits from here and there and then mixing it all together in a science fiction-martial arts stew. They do this so thoroughly that when one tries to impose a singular religious paradigm on top of the film(s), slotting in the characters one-by-one, it seems to work only until put back within the context of the film(s). It is then when everything begins to unravel. Even though scholars have done it time and time again employing one religious worldview to understand The Matrix and The Matrix: Reloaded simply does not work.

This film er view is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol7/iss2/12 Pasulka: The Matrix: Reloaded If there were a postmodern messiah, Neo, the protagonist of The Matrix: Reloaded, would surely be it. The Matrix and its sequel The Matrix: Reloaded, written and directed by the Wachowski brothers, are an eclectic mix of Gnostic Christian and Buddhist elements mixed with postmodern reflection, most notably that of French philosopher Jean Baudrillard. Religious symbolism is what accounts, in part, for The Matrix's massive appeal. Neo (Keanu Reeves) is "the One," potentially a savior for the human race. In the first movie he endures a series of transformations in which he awakens, dies and is resurrected as the deliverer of the human race who is at war against an insidious conglomerate of smart computers, or artificial intelligence.
