How the matrix fits Plato's Allegory the cave  and monomyth

As we now plato's the cave describing a group of people who been chained and live in the cave for long time and just watching on the shadow that projected on the wall. they believe the shadow rather than the truth
In the movie matrix , the main character Thomas Anderson who is one of the" prisoner" of the plato's cave in the beginning of the movie. The cave here describe in this movie is the real world that we familiar with, which they call that is the matrix which known as an illusion that the computer set in the human brain. Thomas Anderson plays two role in his character one is the ordinary worker in a company and the another character is the hacker , Neo. Neo who believe is the real self of him, from my perspective Thomas Anderson doesn't like what he do in his "ordinary world" he pretending what Thomas Anderson should do. Then he came out with another characteristic --Neo. He search alot of information of Morpheus. and seek for an "answer".Then a woman -- Trinity came to him she told him that he is in danger and ask he to come along with her. Thomas Anderson received a call from Morpheus to seek for the truth. then Morpheus tell him the truth that the world he familiar with is not the real world. then Morpheus give Neo a chance either to get out from the fake world to seek for the truth or just go back to his ordinary life -- (back to the cave). Neo choose to get out from the cave and seek for the truth, then the hero's journey began.
Neo undergoes with several of trials, he accept a lot of training to encounter the challenge. Then he met with an old woman Oracle(means the predictor) . She foresee the future of Neo, she soothsaying that Neo wasn't the one and he will make a choice either Morpheus or Neo will die. Neo came out with conclusion that he will change the fate.
In this movie, there is one character that alluded the "prisoner" that couldn't accept the truth and want to get back to the cave, which is Cypher in the end he betrayed his partner and request to get back to the fake world. he said that he choose to live in the fake world is better than stay at the truth he choose to forget everything about the truth. He attempt to kill the one who dragged him out from the cave who is Morpheus. He blame atMorpheus that he willing forever stay at the fake world is more "real" than the real world.
there is another creature in this movie that plays the role in the plato's cave which is the one who projecting the shadow to the prisoner -- the sentient program. They play a role of controlling and protect the ecosystem of the matrix. the demolish the traitor --Morpheus and his company.They transfuse the fake information and conceal the truth from the people.
In the end of the story, Neo successfully transformed himself and change his fate to become the savior the Morpheus believe. Neo choose to believe the true world and begin his journey of the savior.

Morpheus -- is the god of dream in the Greek Mythology, He an take any human form appear in dream. The name is suitable in this character of Morpheus, he is the one who call Neo and bring him to the dream which is not a dream.

Neo--In greek ancient νέος mean new, young and fresh.
