There’s the next version of that, out there somewhere, that has The Matrix and Lord of the Rings on it as well. Gets a little crowded.

It’s that, or porn – the two main bestseller genres.
Pity about the Matrix, in that Neo has no father … lol

Carl Jung. Joseph Campbell. Jungian Archetypes. The Hero With A Thousand Faces.
In short: EVERY FUCKING HERO STORY IS JUST ABOUT THE SAME. You could do this with ANY hero movie/book/comic/epic. It WORKS because of the way humans identify archetypes and the dramatic structure, thus becoming empathetic to the story and plight of the heroes. 10th Grade literature class, folks.
