Buddhism and the matrix

As odd as it may sound buddhism is related to the futuristic movie "the matrix", because of the believe that someday we will be enlightened by knowledge. WHat we know as reality might not be what really exists. in fact some of the dialog used in the movie was directly taken from the scriptures of buddhism. In the movie neo is the main character, rearranged his name spells one, which can mean that he is the one that will be enlightened and he will save mankind.

Similar lines:
NEO: What is the Matrix?
TRINITY: the answer is out there. It is looking for you. And it will find you if you want it to. 

Buddhism Scripture: 
The truth is always there-and all it takes is for us to embrace and see it.
