yeah, matrix is one of the best films i have ever seen (and probably will 
ever see). it created it's own culture, mode of looking at things around us. 
just like village people think that they are children of the earth, soil, the 
people who have seen matrix think over the *air* in a certain way.

i personally view the two example beliefs (the village-like and the matrix-
like) as two sides of the same coin. there is some sort of truth behind both 
of them.

it depends which view you take - i take both of them, and recommend to you to 
do the same.
