The Matrix
Official Movie Site Questions to Consider Examination Movie Quotes	1. Neo faces decisions of incredible complexity and importance in this movie. But does he seem to really follow any sort of process for making decisions? Does this make him any more or less responsible for his actions? 2. How is it possible for Neo make morally sound judgements? If it is, then what does that say about objective truth if he could make his decisions in the real world after living in the Matrix throughout his whole life? If it is not possible, then is it right for him to blindly follow this band of strangers? 3. Some people interpret Neo as a Christ figure. However, while Jesus sacrifices one life (his own life for that matter) to save all of humanity, Neo ends many lives of others to save one person, Morpheus, from death. Does this mean that Neo is not a good moral hero? Does he maybe fit the Old Testament view of God? 4. Agent Smith describes Neo as leading two lives, one in the real world and one in the Matrix. He also asks Neo to help them apprehend Morpheus, whom he describes as "a known terrorist." Given the destruction that Morpheus and his crew seem to inflict on the people of the Matrix, there is some truth to this description of him. Would it therefore be a bad thing for Neo to help put a stop to Morpheus's destruction?	The Two Towers Memento Pirates of the Caribbean
