I feel called to suggest you try watching again the Matrix series (at the very least the first 2 movies) with a new set of eyes which does not focus solely on the violent aspects of the movie, but rather on the philosophical content and meaning behind the overall plot. It is my belief the violence depicted in the movie, although superfluous, played an important part in its success on the big screen. That being said, the heart of the movie, its deeper meaning, will only be perceived by the seeker/watching who is aware of its existence in the first place. And the same could be said of countless other movies, novels and artistic creations... or life in general. We see what we want to see, we see what we are ready to see
