BREAKING: Hollywood actor Laurence Fishburne revealed to Neil deGrasse Tyson that the movie Matrix was about Jesus.
Neo = The One
– A savior who awakens to
his true identity and sacrifices himself to free humanity.
Morpheus = The Believer
– Much like John the Baptist, he prepares the way, full of unwavering faith.
Trinity = The Faithful
– Her devotion mirrors Mary Magdalene, loyal and present through every trial.
Cypher = The Betrayer
– Like Judas, he trades truth for comfort and chooses the illusion over freedom.
