Another perspective on the Matrix.

The Old Oligarch offers a most optimistic explanation of the end of the trilogy. Although the Oligarch finds in the final movie a vindication of Christian realism, what about the movie as a model of Nietzcheism. Neo is the self-defining ubermensch. He makes his own morality. His final credo is "because I choose," which seems fairly Neitzschian. Further, you have that credo following what has to be an instantiation of eternal recurrence; the movie incarnation is something like the seventh or eighth time that Neo has had to trace the maze.

I'm not saying that the Wachowski brothers decided to pen a movie trilogy based on Nietzsche, but, hey, I can play the game too.
