I was watching the Wizard of Oz today with my girlfriend while listening to the Pink Floyd album, "Dark Side of the Moon" and something occured to me. No, not the similarties of Wizard of Oz and Dark Side of the Moon [that's another thread, though pretty well known], but that the Wizard of Oz is similar to the Matrix. Go with me on this one, if you will:
Both the inside of the Matrix and Oz are green.
Neo and Dorothy always had the power to change, they just had to believe what they were shown.
The Matrix and Oz were both created by old, white haired men.
Kansas and earth are dark, bleak and offer little hope.
Agent Smith and the Wicked Witch wear black and show up always unexpectedly. They are also both looking for away out.
Neo and Dorothy hate their life in the real world and are looking for something better.
What does anyone think, worth investigating for more similarities...?
