The movie is about how select people can see what's going on isn't real, and break free from the false world around them. Neo, who is the main character in the movie, is the only one who can break down this matrix by seeing past the illusion. Neo and a few other characters take the journey to be free from

From the readings of The Matrix, Plato and Descartes, there are a number of similarities and differences that can be noted. The stories talk of a world that is full of illusion and deception.

In the movie, The Matrix “the matrix” is a computer engineered

Irony In The Matrix "Throughout human history, we have been dependent on machines to survive. Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony" - Morpheus, the Matrix.This quote is an example of one of the most important topics in The Matrix which was made in 1999 by Andy and Lana Wachowski.

They use theories from some of the most established philosophers who

When a Movie is Not Just a Movie: The Matrix as Philosophical Paradigm, Sociological Fiction, and Mythological Allegory During the past 15 years scholars have studied and analyzed The Matrix1 against numerous contexts, not the least of which is super-cool, groundbreaking, special effects, like bullet-time 2 and computer-generated Kung Fu moves. Beyond introducing revolutionary cinematographic techniques, I believe this film has become part of the historical contextual record in at least three significant

in a state of blissful ignorance? This is the first question raised in the film ‘The Matrix’ by Andy Wachowski. The film is based around the hacker named ‘Neo’, and his journey to knowing the awful truth about the state humanity and himself were actually in. While doing this his perspective on everything was warped as he realised the things he believed in, were no longer true. Neo’s adventure through the Matrix was not the ideal environment for the average human being, and because of this it made

The Matrix was a sci-fi action film that came out in 1999. It was sensational, not just for its (then) state of the state of the art special effects or fight choreography, but for the reality-bending questions—and struggles—of its characters. The Matrix told a the story of a person (Neal Anderson) who realized a startling truth; that they were living inside a virtual reality; that all life as they had known it was an appearance. More startling was to realize they were enslaved by programs, machines

The hacker and computer programmer, Neo, after knowing the truth is drawn to a rebellion against these machines with other people who have been freed from the “dream world”. The creation of super-smart hackers

The most evident similarities between the motion picture The Matrix, Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and Descartes’ Meditation is that these works question and inquires the truth of the World around us and raises doubt about the legitimacy of our feeling of recognition. In other words, all three pieces of work question what is real and what reality is. The Matrix is a film that goes up against the genuine and the part of a convoluted, fake digital reality. Before Mr. Anderson (Neo) revelation of

Throughout the film the Matrix, there are moments that scare us as humans because that is what our future could look like if we don’t start to be more careful with energy sources and the development of technology.

The side I am choosing is to do with the warnings tied to the movie

The Matrix (1999) is an excellent movie that explores various important philosophical values. These values include: The true nature of reality, whether a person is considered to be their mind or their body, the truth about “free” will and what a meaningful life truly is.

The Matrix is a 1999 film directed by the Wachowski Brothers. It is the first in a trilogy of otherwise terrible movies, however the first, The Matrix, is an excellent, symbolic and theme heavy film that asks some important and though provoking questions about life and existence. One idea in the film that interested me was the idea of man and machine being very much alike.

fiction films that we have watched in the class, I have noticed that there is a huge overtone of religious elements in most of them and just like the other films the Wachowski brother’s Matrix is ripe with Christian symbolism. In this journal, I intend to explore the film from a religious perspective. The Matrix is deeply insightful as it conveys some interesting thoughts and facts on philosophical and spiritual levels.
