Would it be fair to say that The Matrix is amongst the most important films ever made? That it is a genuine cultural artifact that is part of the wider human history and will live on as long as cinema does, perhaps even longer?

Avatar is more important, only because in a few decades we will reach the first planet outside of our solar system only to be greeted by tall, horny aliens who want to fuck us out of our semen reserves.

Matrix was the inevitable marriage between the techno-superhero mythology of modern USA, and the more traditional christian-norse mythos which originated their culture.
Avatar on the other hand is a moral re-exploration of the traditional christian symbology, if one were to maximally portray through an alien-meets-human perspective rather than a language-meets-illiterates perspective. Christianity has in most places of the world been the medium through which peoplegroups learned to read in all levels of society, as opposed to only among clergy.
The message of Avatar is visually actual aliens, but if you deconstruct the message and overarching web of relationships between individuals and factions, it becomes unmistakeable that Avatar is nothing more than the clash between Rome and Judea, seen through a similar "alien" lens as Matrix, or the gospel itself to a previosly illiterate people.
People today are literate only so far as being able to recite letters. They are still however, too visually and biblically illiterate to realize that Matrix and Avatar is flawed attempts at presenting previous stories through new technology. They of course understand that its new, but they aren't properly versed in the previous iterations in order to spot or critique discrepancies or the parallells.
It's all a circlejerk between old and new storytellers.

people are only capable of viewing things through what they already know that includes (you).
it is no coincidence that Hugo Weaving was cast the way he was in LOTR and Matrix, or that Christopher Lee was cast the way he was in LOTR and Star Wars. if you don't know the source material, you won't know why its relevant.

I know most people on this board want to talk shit about The Matrix because the directors are trannies, but I find it very hard to deny that it is one of the most influential films directed by Gen X and certainly one of the best action films to come out in the 90's.

what kind of stupid ass logic is this? this is like saying if Peter Jackson became a proud interracial cuckold that the Lord of the Rings movies were actually an allegory for big black cock
