The Matrix

Over the spring break, I watched The Matrix. I've seen this movie more times than I can count, but never really gave any attention to the archetypes and connection to Greek mythology. I was aware of the symbolism of various colours and the connections to religion.I've now noticed that the Path of Neo is a Hero's journey:

• He departs from the Matrix on a journey to the Real World.
  Neo wakes up in the Real World, where he realizes that he can no longer be 'invisible' to society and now needs to take some leadership to survive (Initiation).
  
• During the Road of Trials, Neo is plugged into the Construct, where he learns various combat skills to aid him to defeat the machines.
  
• Within the first film, when Neo enters the "Innermost Cave," which happens to be a subway station, he must battle his enemy (Agent Smith), where he gains a new sense of focus within the false reality and grows physically as well as mentally where he can bend the rules of the system.
  
• Neo does not restore fertility and order in the first film but towards the end of the trilogy, he manages to establish peace between humans and machines.
  

I've also noticed various objects and colours used as examples of archetypes:

• Agents dress in black to symbolize darkness and evil. The Rebels also wear black, but this can be connected to mystery.
  
• All scenes within the Matrix are tinted green to establish an almost fake and virtual world, which is exactly what it is, and also to establish a sense of death, as "The purpose of life is to end." -Agent Smith
  
• Scenes in the Real World are blue tinted in order to show the devotion of the humans, truth of the world we live in, and for the most part, peaceful.

• The white light that surrounds Trinity is one of purity and almost angelic.
  The three main characters (Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity) actually fit within a group of three/Trinity.

It is also established that various characters have very different archetypical roles:

• Neo --> The hero of the story who phases challenged from Machines and Agents. He is also a Hero scapegoat, towards the end of the trilogy.
  
• Morpheus --> He is a mentor to Neo, who provides words of wisdom.
  
• The Oracle --> Also a mentor, but she provides more of a clearer thought understanding of what Neo must need to do.
  
• Agent Smith --> The Devil Figure of the story who opposes Neo. Cypher and the Machines also do this.
  
• Trinity --> She can be classified as a temptress because Neo falls in love with her and does literally *anything* to protect her, which eventually leads to his demise.
  

I've personally always wondered if the Wachowski Brothers (the directors of the film) really realized what they were doing when they came up with the story line. I do know that a lot of research went into the film and the symbolism, but did they really realize that the Matrix can connect to Mythology and religion at the same time?
Have you noticed other forms of archetypes in the film and have you seen any films similar? How?
