Hehehe.... ternyata seneng nonton film Hollywood juga ...:-) Setuju bahas
film Matrix, tapi Om Sigit duluan yang cerita. Biar rada rame milis ini ;-).

Di Interrnet ternyata juga banyak pembicaraan tinjauan filosofis berdasar
Budha, Kristen, Descartes, dll terhadap film Matrix tersebut, saya kutipkan
sedikit di bawah ini yang membahas dari segi filsafat Budha:

CASSAKANE:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been reading through some of the threads here and I keep seeing people
mentioning the philosophical implications of The Matrix. If you are truly
interested in exploring these implications then I suggest that you read
about Buddhism. I've studied Buddhism for a few years and the things that
are mentioned or hinted at in The Matrix are pretty basic stuff. You might
be able to find these things in other philosophies. In fact if anyone knows
if you can will you let me know? It's always good too see things from every
point of view.

Anyway, I'm so amazed by how many hints of Buddhist philosophy are in the
movie, I keep seeing new ones. 

Neo: I have all of these memories from my life. None of it happened. What
does that mean?

Trinity: That The Matrix cannot tell you who you are.


I suggest that you look into Vipassana Meditation. Most other meditations
only teach you to focus and relax. Vipassana goes a step further. Everything
that you know, think, and feel is a lie. It is only a jumble of endless
thoughts that keep spinning through your head, opinions and ideas that have
been taught to you by society. You cannot see true reality because whenever
you look at anything or think about anything you see it through the
distorted lens of these opinions and ideas. It is the true Matrix, trapping
you within what you think of as yourself. 

Through Vipassana you can learn to stop the endless thoughts that are racing
through your head. To be only your true self and to see things as they
really are. 

You have always had the power to unplug yourself.

P.S. I have read Antigone's posting about Jungian theory within the movie.
I'm very impressed! As far as Vipassana Meditation goes, it is supposed to
clear out your concious and your unconcious mind. In fact it is supposed to
be a little dangerous because once you stem the flow of concious thoughts
things start popping out of your unconcious mind. Sometimes people can't
deal with those things. 

GRALHAZUL:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey, there is Buddhism and that's for sure, the kid with the spoon was
indeed a key scene, but you can also see the Torah, from Bereichit (Genesis)
to Moses' last breath. I have seen the film only once (I am now in process
of getting my Trin to come with me, she's a software programmer, think she'd
like it) but it seems the film is really full of religious, scientific and
philosophical references, quite a melting pot.
