Yes, it's been done... and done... and done... The BBC has jumped on the bandwagon, attempting to devine whether this years new "Matrix" installment carries hidden biblical meaning. Perhaps I'm a sinful heathen (oh wait... I am a sinful heathen), but I find the philosophical underpinnings more interesting, especially the obvious comparison with Plato's allegory of the cave (an artical in Sunday's Strib has a rudimentary discussion of the philosophy behind The Matrix). As the BBC artical points out, most of the biblical parallels are plot points, with little or no reference to the ethical or philosophical ideas of Christianity. As most screenwriters -- wirters of any stripe, actually -- will tell you, there are very few new plots, just more or less interesting elaborations on the classics. If you've seen one messiah, you've seen 'em all.
