A person I saw Matrix with pointed out the many Christian themes in the movie. Neo as Christ, "The one", Morpheus as John the Baptist, Trinity as Trinity, Neo "rising" as the end of the movie (after being reborn), Morpheus has a "revelation." Also the theme of the illusion of the material world, the Matrix, as opposed to the poverty of the true world that Neo will reveal. Interesting, I thought.
