"Follow the white rabbit." One of the early scenes in the movies. If you've ever watched Alice in Wonderland , the original cartoon of course, your childhood was awesome and you'll get this reference right away. White rabbit in Alice in Wonderland leads Alice to the Wonderland itself. In this case, it leads Neo to the Matrix world.
Some say the movie has some religious elements in it. Let's have a look at the characters.
Neo, Morpheus, Agent Smith, Trinity, Oracle, Tank, Dozer, and Cypher. The story behind these character names are related to a couple theories; classic mythology, Greek mythology, The Bible, Latin, and even anagram. "Neo" is actually an anagram of "One" and his given name in the movie "Thomas" which in the bible is a man who doubts Jesus. "Trinity", the number three is a powerful number in many stories and traditions. "The Father, son, and holy spirit" from the Bible is related as well I believe. Morpheus as the "father", Neo as "son", and Trinity as "holy spirit".
As you can see, the characters, the scenes everything in the movie seems to be carefully thought and meaningful. which is difficult to find these days. There are more things that I can list out, but I'm afraid I've gone to the rabbit hole a little too deep.
