"The Matrix", written and directed by the Wachowskis in 1999, is often characterized as a deep philosophical film, Platonic ideals of modernity that subsequent references praised for its richness. However, it is not only philosophy but also plays an important role in Christ.

Also, while it is the matrix, the passive body in the real world is shown in agony. After that, his heart stops beating. In the nine stops breathing. "He goes", one of the certified agents.

Although Juliet's resurrection a "pseudo-resurrection is" because he was not dead. In fact, Shakespeare's figure can not be missed on this list for the play's greatest impact on the resurrection scenes and Shakespeare's clever way the resurrection of the explicable reason for secular readers.

Comes out of the poisonous piece of apple Snow White's throat, he opens his eyes and is "alive again". Following marriage and happiness.

Again, this is God's love is that it brings back to life the figures. The data innocent like a martyr and that is good and beautiful, had to die only to overthrown by evil. Fortunately, evil is not the last word here.

Scottie had to observe a qtl- complot which has been hit so arranged by his old friend he Madeleine's "suicide" in the murder of the wife of his friend's. Judy, who had worked so as to be Madeleine, was never dead.

For Scottie, of course, the judgment confusing should be: on the one hand, he has found the love that he is unworthy of Judy's death, the woman never die, but on the other hand, he said the face of Judy who never thought they had. Driven mad by the fact that, Scottie forces Judy Bell tower. No, they accept the plan and she begs him to forgive her for Scottie loves it. However, suddenly appears a shadow tower trapdoor.

Later, Hamlet surely his dead father and that of his brother, Claudius, for the crown and Hamlet's mother, is poisoned by driven by lust Gertrud was excited was the ghost who tells him is able to speak. Since then, the ghost of Hamlet avenge his killing to eat before disappearing species.

This recovery scenario changed literature forever. Revival time's "out of joint", thus, have caused doubts in existence, and being nostalgic memory of the young protagonist's inability to work and immobility.

He finished second version of Henry's brave but pessimistic trip with Henry's success and a happy love story. Thus, exactly what Henry had been dead for 24 years but in the end Keller's readers make up their minds that the author only by resurrection and happiness.

Abused girl Meretlein, which prefaces the story of Heinrich's main story and what gets buried alive: Most of the children in the literature Keller's death gave rise to one of the characters. I literally rise from the dead, he is running around "after plenty of kids who want to catch the dead", and finally on a Chinese village from one dead-fall Last minute wreaks.
