- The
Matrix (1999)
- One particular theme I noticed can be summed up in a passage of scripture which states in so many words "No weapon formed against thee shall prosper." Morpheus tells Neo that he should free his mind. And he tells him about the agents and the fact that noone has ever defeated any of them. Morpheus begins to tell Neo that where everyone else has failed, he(Neo) will succeed. Neo's questions Morpheus if he's trying to say that he will dodge bullets. Morpheus says"I'm saying when the time comes, you won't have to." At the final battle scene, Neo rises from the "dead" and bullets are fired at him. He stops them; all the bullets fall without ever harming him. In the end, Neo not only survives but he transcends the boundaries of the Matrix and life in general. For me, this is one of the things that God is trying to show His people. Our faith in Him, our dedication to reading and doing His word---this empowers us to be the sons of God and to therefore free our minds from the boundaries(tests, trials, tribulations, temptations) of this world. You don't have to dodge bullets. Be assured that they are coming, but because the power of God is in us, we can look at those bullets, stop them in their tracks, and make them of none effect.
