Of course, Reeves used images of Buddha to get his point of reference on. There is an ecstasy experience. To me I have always looked at Buddha and saw this, so Buddha's realization represents to me such intense elation beyond what most people access on a daily basis.
Yes, this is the same look I get in the am when I first wake up
and see myself in the mirror.
PS. Reeves character in Matrix movie is "Thomas " Anderson . This name was chosen intentionally by the Wachoski bros. The character Thomas is a spin off from the gnostic Gospel of Thomas. Gnostic Thomas is said to be the "twin brother" of Jesus. After "the doubting Thomas "was gone, "Thomas" name turned Neo and is given the key of knowledge that opens the Matrix/ Mind. Enlightenment happened as did Jesus disciple Thomas. Their are many Buddhism, Gnostic, Christian themes and a thousand more running through the Matrix Movies -especially the theme of dependent co-origination and the ones who were able to recognize the false nature of reality.
