The question is being asked by Joe Kovacs in connection with a scene in the new movie where images of Bush and the German dictator are displayed during a discussion of evil in the world.
A 44-year-old cartoonist Mark Szorady of Rome, Ohio, tells World Net Daily he has no idea if that's the intent of the filmmaker, but his curiosity has been piqued by reviews and online discussions of the blockbuster.
The Matrix: Reloaded continues the story of mankind's struggle against machines which use artificial intelligence to enslave the human race in a dream world. During the scene in question, actor Keanu Reeves -- who portrays the hero "Neo" - is standing in front of a large bank of video screens as he discusses mankind's history with the designer of the computer-simulated world which is called "the Matrix."
Images of wickedness begin to rapidly flash on the monitors, including photos of nuclear warfare and notorious killers. "When the architect of the Matrix describes the folly of man," Scott Bowles of USA Today says, "Look at the screens behind Neo, which show images of a historical monster and a contemporary president." The historical monster to whom he refers is Hitler, and the president is George W. Bush, as well as his father for a brief moment. The scene is also sparking chatter on the Internet about possible intended messages.
w"If the Matrix films, the most philosophically challenging movies to be produced in a generation, reveal any obvious signs of the politics of its makers, then this subliminal equation (Hitler=Bush?) is it," concludes the Today newspaper of the Philippines in an editorial about Reloaded.
