Having watch the Matrix series again and more properly than before I've found some very interesting philosophical references, such as Plato's cave allegory, what's your favorite piece of philosophy from Matrix?

the whole movie is a reference to psychedelic drugs. taking "the pill" is the most obvious one but all the stuff about "freeing you mind," becoming "unplugged" etc. it even directly references mescaline at some point. also the constant references to alice in wonderland, another famous drug tale.
