The philosophy of the Matrix is a half-step short of religion for some people.<\/p>\n
I feel that I should be informed on pop-culture religions.<\/p>\n

So, I dragged my unwilling boyfriend down to the theater and we got into it. Since it’s a movie, and you can go see it anytime you want, I’m not gonna tell you the whole plot.<\/p>\n
I will give my impressions, however.<\/p>\n
The movie was long, but it moved fast. I didn’t feel bored or tired out by the length. So, that’s pretty good.<\/p>\n
Some parts seemed like there weren’t enough explanation. It took conscious effort to suspend my disbelief. Not good.<\/p>\n

Where did Zion really come from?
\nWhat are the motives of the Oracle?
\nWho is a program and who is not?
\nWhat change occurred in Agent Smith?<\/p>\n
All good things, for those who give it importance, to talk over and ponder.<\/p>\n
