The Matrix is a film which is both intriguing and exciting produced by Joel Silver, directed and written by Wachowskis in the year1999. In this film I’ll be focusing on the important elements such as mise-en-scene, cinematography, sound and editing, how this elements bring about life in the film and how they affect each other or rather assist each other. In The Matrix we find that there are two major characters by the name of Neo and Morpheus, Neo is by day is a normal computer programmer and…
Meditations, Descartes gives us a very solid statement about his theory on what we might call the “Matrix.” This is an epistemological argument that dares to question nature, and the truth behind everything we know as humans. Descartes began to live by this epistemological theory that much of what we know about this world is adequate, but there is no such thing as the certain truth. In the movie titled, The Matrix, we see Descartes cogito ergo sum, or “I think, therefore I am” theory come…
What are the most important similarities and differences between The Matrix and Plato’s Cave? In The Matrix, Neo was offered two pills and was asked to choose one of the two pills. The blue pill had an effect of making Neo woke up in his bed and believed whatever he wanted to believe. On the other hand, the red pill would make Neo stay in Wonderland and Morpheus would show him how deep the rabbit hole was. And therefore, Neo decided to take the red pill. Neo also fought a battle for his live…
and heavily equipped fighting machines that keep the matrix operating smoothly and free from the liberators. At least six focal events provide substance and movement for this text. First, Neo receives his “calling” from Morpheus and is given a choice between freedom from the matrix, or forgetting his meeting with Morpheus ever happened. Second, after Neo chooses freedom, and the price that accompanies it, he can no longer simply exist in the matrix; he is now a freedom fighter who ultimately…
premises of the 1999 Wachowski film “The Matrix” offers very explicit similarities to Plato’s Allegory of the Cave of what is real. The film touches on the truth and its structure of Plato’s Allegory; however, the storyline is far from Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. Where “The Matrix” has a much more intricate story thats more adapted to the modern sci-fi fan base. Neo, played by Keanu Reeves as the main character, was trapped within the falsified reality of the Matrix program that was structured…
fascinating science fiction plot never seen before, it is clear the film follows the hero’s journey. The Matrix uses biblical references and perception to bring new ideas, resulting in the evolution of the hero’s journey into a more modern version. To understand Neo’s journey in The Matrix one must understand how the biblical references strengthen the hero’s journey. For most people The Matrix is a film that tested the waters of new technology, action, and science fiction. After observing the…
the movie, “The Matix®,” (I am not promoting or endorsing the movie, nor the directors, nor their lifestyles, I only found the quote to be an example of a revelation), the character Neo receives the revelation that not only is he in the Matrix, but he is the Matrix. In a scene from the movie, Neo makes the following statement upon this revelation, “I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future.…
also helpful for companies and organizations to make data driven decisions that ultimately relate to logistics, supply chains and warehousing. Business math differs from other types of math’s because it consists of more advanced mathematics such as matrix algebra, linear programming and mathematics of finance. Thus, it is perfect to use in the business management field. Not only is Business math a very important type of mathematics but so is Financial Mathematics because they two form important…
Plato takes over Socrates work and keeps his legacy going in his writings. Additionally, the introducing of the idea of knowledge of the true forms and the necessity of knowledge of reality leading to a true self-knowledge. In the same way, “The Matrix” forces the main character, Neo to learn the reality which forces him to a true self-knowledge and an overall true knowledge of what he is presented with. Education as we know it is not true education in the philosophical form, but in fact is a…
The Mandelbrot and Filled Julia Sets The Mandelbrot and Filled Julia Sets are sets of numbers that are composed of complex numbers that do not diverge for varying conditions of the function fc(z)=z²+c. For the Mandelbrot set, the function is iterated from z=0. The filled Julia set holds c constant for any complex number to look at the behavior of the iterated functions for each value of z in the complex plane. Both sets are derived from the iterations of simple functions in the complex plane,…
