I need a movie that's rich in signs, has hidden/overt connotations, etc

[erikiksaz]

So, i'm looking for a movie that basically satisfies any of those. Right now i'm thinking of the Matrix, but it's just a collection of all the aforementioned things, i can't deduce anything from it. The archetype would be god, neo jesus, french guy the devil, his minions ghosts/wolves/vampires. All of this would be biblical references, but i'm not exactly sure what the brothers are getting at, since the other 2 matrix's didn't have any of this biblical stuff.

Do any of you guys have any movies that might work?

If you think the other Matrix movies don't have the the same biblical references you're not looking hard enough...

The problem is too many people know the beginning and the end of Christ's story, and not enough about the middle

all of the matrix movies have a multitude of hidden/overt connotations.. biblical and otherwise

 

[skace]

Wasn't Groundhog Day full of signs or hidden connotations? I think my health class did a project on that movie... I think he went through the 7 stages of something or other. Ah I don't remember.

Yea, Fight Club and Matrix1 are both really good.
