a platform for confusion and sometimes even denial. Plato’s “Allegory of The Cave,” and The Matrix both contain instances of people who have experience with the process of learning entirely new concepts. In the “Allegory of the Cave,” prisoners are exposed to shadows for all of their lives. This lifelong exposure resulted in the belief that the displayed shadows are the actuality. Furthermore, in The Matrix, Neo is apprised that the world he lives in is nonexistent. In reality, Neo’s life was…
explaining ‘The Matrix’ to Neo, Morpheus was flipping a handheld mirror in his hand. Further, the movie demonstrates the idea that the mind is one’s own worst enemy several times. The first time is when Neo is fighting Morpheus in the computer program.

Although Neo chose to know the truth, there are many reasons one could choose either. Neo chooses the red pill because he has felt, and seen, that there was something “off” about his life. He was curious about who…

The movie itself is about when a young computer genius Thomas Anderson, who went by the alias Neo in the computer world, gets recruited by a man named Morpheus. After the two men had met, Morpheus showed Neo the real world, and told him how people were living in a programmed system called the matrix and that the real world was run by…
