Gnostic chross on Animatrix "World Record"

I though funny to see that the Animatrix episode "world record" had many implicit refferences to Jesus and Gnostic icons...

The "father" of the protagonist begins with a nice cross on his chest - speaking to the hero about his faith on him and how he believed he would do as he wanted to...

The key he (the hero) passes to a man who's there - maybe parking cars - deserves a full moment of slow motion - just to show us the "cross" sheped of it's carving as well as the circle in the center of it's arms...

The cross as a key or the key as a cross is evident...

This "hero" is willing to sacrifice everything (including his own life) to prove the world, to "prove them wrong";

The final scene (that makes me chill, when the hero says "free") happens in front of a chross pattern wall - in front of wich -answering to the quote of the agent "What could anybody want more?" he get's up, starts to levitate, opens his hands to the cross wall and says: "Free"...

Well, it's funny and, somehow, intriguing...

What do you think?

... as you seem to be a bit "cold" about this.

Some things to warm up the topic...

Dan Davis it's running on a stadium based on the concepts from Barcelona - Spain.
The building uses lots of architectonic references from Gaudi's work - "The Sacred Family" - the cathedral of Barcelona...

The name of the guy with the face of Brad Pitt - the coach of Dan Davies who doubted of him and his power to do his "world record" is... Thomas! - yeap, this puts him near of "doubting Thomas" and, obviously, from the Gnostic side (where Thomas has a great influence);

Finally (but not least) - the woman (who's a reporter on the story) and who says that believes in Dan Davis has a hair that - obviously - is absolutelly out of the rest of the references from the episode - red hair...

Guess who was said to have this hair colour?...

Mary Magdala...

Another Gnostic one...

I had noticed the cross at the beginning and the crosses on the window at the end, but never thought about its possible meaning.

Unfortunately no one can be told what The Matrix is...You have to see it for yourself.
