“Although there are definitive Christian themes within the film, we do not know the exact intentions of the writer and can therefore make no positive statement that Creasy is supposed to be a Christ-figure. Imposing a Christ-figure onto Creasy may result in misinterpreting the film”. - Taken from the Holy Blogles blog on Creasy.

I think you are completely correct in making this statement until class week I had never seen the Matrix trilogies as having Christian themes or interpreting Neo as a savior model. I am not sure if was the creators intention to make Neo to be a Christ a like image. However looking more and more closely to the film and script one can see the connections of the Oracle being some kind of God and Neo being the chosen one can who comes to rescues, saves and liberates humanity from conscience enslavement. All this is done however through violent means, but this formula to a greater or lesser degree can be any mono myth. Does this mean that Superman., Shane, Buffy all have to be a Christ figures, I don’t look at Superman and think of Jesus.

When I think of the Matrix the last thing that comes to mind is Christ figure, after class I had to really sit down and think about it. For me when I sat down to think about Matrix the first thing that popped to mind was Plato’s Allegory of the Cave as well as the Japanese sci-fi anime film Ghost in the Shell circa 1995 directed by Mamoru Oshii.

An excellent movie, which is very similar to the Matrix, instead in anime and the Matrix is in real life, as well Rage Against the Machine only because they are on the soundtrack (huge RATM fan). Which begs the questions is there a point in trying to fish out these Christ figure in pop culture that may not even been intended to be there, does the art then loose it face value if we do not take as it is in its most organic sense. As one endlessly try to search for something that may not potentially be there at all, do all those characteristic have to be necessarily attributed to a Christ figure, can they not just be a good writer developing their character, and just be a good story.
