When viewing the movie in the theater I was stunned and had goosebumps when I realised that someone had the same weird feeling I had and made a movie about it. The scene where Neo wakes up was frightening for me. I was in a philosophical phase in that time. Right after that there was a discussion on a new book on Slashdot. The book was called "Taking the red pill" I bought it and read it. Part one of the matrix is a really well rounded movie. The book compares it with multiple religions. It even has a nice essay on if we are already in the matrix.
