Dark City (music clip)

Movies that have religious messages:
Recently, two movies, Dark City and Matrix, had plots that centered on the questions of "knowing". The Matrix was released one year after Dark City. Some of the scenes in the Matrix were filmed using the same sets. In Dark City, the central characte, Murdoch, questioned the nature of the Dark City. He and a detective confront a doctor, who explains that every night the aliens cause everyone to fall asleep in order to manipulate the city's reality to give everyone new memories and identities. Murdoch inavertently woke up during one of these transformations. Murdock has recurring memories that include that of a place called Shell Beach that survive the aliens attempt to transform him. Ultimately, he finds out that this is an illusion. After the aliens catch up to Murdoch to tap into his mind, the doctor helps him find the power to challenge the aliens. By right understanding, intention, meditation, and contemplation, Murdoch fully "awakens" to break the illusions of the aliens and create one of his own, which includes a new Shell Beach.
