The Matrix Revolutions

Morpheus warns of brain elasticity and the inherent human desire to stick with what is known. Cyprus embodies this dilemma when he puts the lives of the rebels at risk in order to gain re entry to the Matrix. He exclaims that he wants to go back and that life is much better inside. This is an ominous forewarning for Neo, whom at the end of the film declares that he is going to free everyone. The chance of rebellion is massive because the masses are not…

Introduction The media topic that I will be analyzing will be of a science fiction movie called The Matrix (1999). Without giving the movie away, I enjoyed the depth of questions, levels to ponder, and analysis that the movie gives the viewer; not just of the movie, but within their own lives. As I discuss this movie, I will use most of the SEARCH acronym when writing my Narrative analysis, then break down important questions and possible answers the movie provides that hooks the viewer into…

1. Compare and contrast the Matrix with the readings from Plato and Descartes. What are some similarities and differences? I recall watching the Matrix for the first time and just sitting there mouth wide open at the end. It was one of those films that you should re-watch several times as you will find out something new every time. Could this be true? Am I attached to a computer in a stasis pod being forced to believe in something that is false? Would I stay and fight for free will or would I…

fundamentally altered by and bounded within the subject of perception’s accoutrements and that perception can be and moreover is controlled, modified and gerrymandered by the powers that be, to alter or suppress perception in their interests. The Matrix (1999) tells the story of Thomas Anderson, a miscreant cyber-criminal under alias ‘Neo’ revealed by other-worldly intervention from the crew of the Nebuchadnezzar to be the ham-fisted Jesus Christ allegory destined to save mankind from…

Raghunthan (2011) provides a reflection from a scene in the movie “The Matrix” demonstrating a choice we all make in life. Morpheus gives Neo a choice between two pills—a red pill and a blue pill. "Take the blue pill," says Morpheus, "and the story ends. You awake in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe." "You take the red pill," he continues, "you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: All I'm offering is the truth, nothing more. Morpheus…

belief that he may be being tricked by something wicked. If something seems so ordinary such a square with four sides how could we know it was true. For example in the matrix everything that is seen seems to be so ordinary but leads to the understanding that everything is unreal. In Inception you see Cobb leaving within this “matrix” within the false reality he creates. Everything is ordinary and makes perfect sense that it is a replica to the real world. This reality mimics the real world and…

When comparing the concepts from The Matrix to the ideology in the excerpts by Plato and Descartes a common theme is the realization that the world is all a sensory illusion by which an elaborate system of deception can perpetrate individuals to a common belief or perception. One of the main points that is shared between the excerpt by Plato/Descartes and the synopsis of The Matrix is that everything around us is perceived through our senses. Yet, because each individual perceives the world in a…

realize something was actually strange”(Cobb). Statements like this are what movies like Inception and The Matrix revolve around. Throughout such movies we ask ourselves time after time, is it a dream or is it reality? Christopher Nolen the director of Inception goes even further and depicts a picture where a person goes into multiple dreams while being in one all ready. The main idea behind The Matrix is that the world we live in is a dream used to control mankind. In the duration of the movie…

Descartes, Plato, and The Matrix: A Comparison The Matrix, The Republic, and Meditations on First Philosophy all provide some valuable food for thought on the issues of reality and what we think we know to be true. Through their similarities and differences, we can explore some interesting perspectives on the age-old questions of “what can we know for sure if anything?” and “how do we know what we know?” As they have been, these questions will likely continue to be debated and explored for…
