Neo-Christ: Jesus, The Matrix, and Secondary Allegory as a Rhetorical Form.

The Matrix can be view in this the religious way. Most of these views were focus on the Christians audience. The allegory makes a great connects between the symbol and the referent. It has many metaphors that connect into Christianity; this article focuses on two types of allegory which are traditional, secondary. One he similar points that they have in common with the traditional allegories is the immediate postwar period. They most portray that the reason of this movie was to impact the Christian audience using a bible pretext they were two views on the allegory one was the traditional approach  which they would compare it to a focusing lens in the other hand post modern approach view saw it as a refracting prism. The author also states that the constructed message shared strong bonds with ideological pretext. The movie the matrix bonded with both approached because it understands both in their images and resources. Most of the images and symbols showed in this movie have multiple meanings as in ideological, philosophical and religious point of view. For example in Buddhism speaks to the matrix using the text of Plato or Socrates they both use similar stories and pictures as to show and prove their comparison. In the Christianity view point is a little different. They see it as retelling story of Jesus Chris using his gospels such as Matthew, Luke and Mark. There is much evidence towards this. The author expresses also the function of the second allegory, “it occurs when the audience appropriates a text that is structurally a postmodern allegory and interprets it in a traditional fashion", meaning this was based on Jesus Chris but in order for other people to understand it; it is put in the modern perspective and view. They compare Neo in many ways to Jesus: they both become enemy of their own death, the point of the one, the savior, the messiah, the one that is to come and that are waiting for him in order to save their "world", that they both come out of virgin wombs to save or free people of born evil. One of the points that surprise me the most was the point that Trinity is put to represent the Holy Spirit, the author shows the evidence that she guided Neo through questions and to awaken him of knowing is uniqueness and his divines just as shown in Matthew 3:16-17 and as the "Holy spirit guided the ministry of Jesus". Most of this is found in the New Testament of the bible.
