The matrix was originally written as a trilogy, the writers wanted to shoot all three at once, and release them within a couple months of each other (like they're doing with reloaded and revolutions) byt the studfio big wigs wouldn't have it untill the first movie proved itself at the box office.
My brother in law is a university prof, and he used the Matrix as a primer on postmodernism, considering that all the actors who were in the movie weren't allowed to open the script untill they'd read "simulation and simulacra" and a couple other books which were groundbreaking in philosophical circles for their thourough grasp and explanation post-modernism.
the movies were written thematically,
#1 post modern
#2 judaeo christian
#3 not sure
this is just what I've been able to glean from the limited info I have.
I'm interested in seeing the matrix2 several times, I'm assuming that like the first one it'll have layers of depth beyond the surface story line.
