It is 2 am. Tired mind. So for my first diatribe against ye Matrix naysayers (hehe) let me lay on ya some quotes I agree with 300%:"The Matrix is a shamanic journey in dramatized form,
fit to stand up alongside Alice in Wonderland and destined, perhaps, to someday overthrow The Wizard of Oz as the ultimate cult-psychedelic movie.The Matrix is all this and a fair bit more, but it’s also undoubtedly not for everyone." -"The Matrix as Shamanic Journey"
http://www.wynd.org/matrix.htm"The sci-fi thriller is a veritable "Where's Waldo" of religious and mythological symbolism." -Lori Tharps "God is in the details"
http://www.ew.com/ew/features/990514/matrix/index.html"Question from Starr22: Are all the religious symbolism and doctrine throughout this movie intentional, or not?
WachowskiBros: Most of it is intentional."
