Is Senator Obama Morpheus? |
|
Not to put a film spin on probably the most historic and important election our country is seen, but I think one of elements that is fueling the Obama campaign is "The Matrix" effect. Senator Obama shares one of the core principles of Morpheus, belief, and he is an absolute genius in sharing that belief.
The question is, who is Neo?

And I guess Hillary is the oracle (first movie) telling him he's not the one.

Morpheus went to Hades to save the soul of Persephone. (Or, was it Hermes?)
Obama will go to Hell to save the soul of America.

3. I guess Neo would be all the voters who he's trying to get to take the blue pill. |
|
Or was it the red pill? It's been a while since I've seen it.

"The oracle said that I would fall in love with the one, so you see... you must be the one because I love you."
Obama is Neo.
Morpheus must be Reverend Wright.

Its mind-blowing to have people respond like that to a politician. The bigger picture is that young kids are getting involved in the process. How is that not a good thing?

9. There has to be a Cypher: |

Maybe Hillary Clinton, or better yet, James Carville...
Yeah. Carville looks like Cypher - he just needs that little goatee...

There a whole lot of unreality going on anyway. Indulging in a little metaphysical discussion is cleansing.

29. Or it's more real than you think... |
|
...I remember the end scene of Matrix 2 when Neo confronts the Architect and images of President Insane played in the background with images of the war. Are you so sure you should be laughing?

31. Well here we are, typing in cyberspace.... |

...under assumed names with millions of bytes of data traveling throughout the world in what can only be considered an alternative universe.
Keep laughing, eventually you'll get the metaphor.
