If anyone was blown away with the only-message if non-duality in the movie The Matrix, there is another movie that goes way beyond the non-duality the writers of the Bhagavad Gita could imagine.
The movie is the Fight Club. The Fight Club gives us the EXACT SAME message of the Bhagavad Gita but unlike the Gita its message is pristine and pure because it is unpolluted with any moral, social, divine or religious values.

The message is the same:
In the Gita: Krishna: Arjuna, I am your hallucination.
In the Matrix: Tyler Durden: Narrator (Ed Norton), I am your hallucination... so everything I do is also your hallucination, and if you understand that then you will realize that if something I do affects you then you must be a hallucination too.

If only Krishna knew how simple the message is, but only if social values, morals and ethics do not pollute the ONLY message of non-duality: there is no other, not even Krishna.

-- the Hallucinating Hallucination of “there is no other,” Now.

If Krishna was alive, I think he would have liked the Matrix (=

Where did you pull that quote from the gita? The nineteenth chapter?

Actually Brad PItt was playing a hallucination. Ed Norton was Tyler. That's why the bartender, for example, reacted the way he did. It was always Ed.

I feel sorry for you. Why don't you read Gita again and understand the gist of what the author is saying!!! I can argue that the Matrix does indeed has a gist of what Gita said.. But the way you put it, was horrible.. I'm sorry to say that...
Anyways.. try reading again and understand it more clearly.. Good Luck..
