Then there is the idea where "brains over braun" and "mind over matter" tend to meld together (where all the sfx come in).

Every time I watch it I just have to look around the room, and say to myself, "What is real anyway?" Any movie that can do that is just plain genius. I can't wait for the sequals (Reloaded and Revolutions), it's gonna be so awesome!!!
Yup I agree. The matrix trilogy influenced me more than probably anything has (as far as philosophy and view of life). I would say the second movie with the "causality" discussion was the most influential on me. My english teacher doesn't like the movie because he "doesn't understand it", but yet he introduced us to Plato's allegory of the cave and Brave New World. I recommend everyone read the allegory of the cave, Brave New World, and Descartes' meditations (probably what the wachowski brothers got most of their influence from to make the matrix).
