The Matrix

For my primary research, I accomplished two tasks. I noted how many violent actions there were in the movie The Matrix, and I gave a survey to see how violent movies affected teens. The Matrix research will be discussed in this paragraph. I tallied the number of violent acts and a brief description of each violent act. The results will be discussed in the next paragraph. During the 2 hour long movie which was made in 1999, there were 40 instances of violence and I wrote a brief description of…

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…

After reading many books from some of greatest philosophers such as Descartes, Plato, Chuang Tzu, Thich Nhat Hanh, Wachowski Brothers the director of the Matrix and so forth, my mind is wondering with one big question that has been always rotating above my head during my philosophy and film class. That one big question is to define real, how do we define real? Is it merely real that we want to know about? How about the meaning of a true real? How do we know that we are really being in this world…

In the matrix when Neo is being chased by agents trying to get back to the real world or Luke trying to get off the death star. This is the point where if the hero has not gotten past his fear he will be faced head on with it to make it back. The eleventh part is the resurrection, which is normally when the hero is faced with death and survives or in the case of the Matrix, Neo dies and then comes back to life. This is like a transformation…

not all media response was positive. Numerous shootouts and murders were alleged to have been linked to the release of the film, most notably the devastating Columbine high school massacre in 1999 just weeks after the film was released (Does 'The Matrix' Inspire the Disturbed). The media not only has its tendrils firmly wrapped around the message of the film, but the narrative following it. In this way, it controls the mental capital, the very desire to consume media. When Neo takes the red pill…

and machine-made illusions? Well look no further, for “The Matrix” has it all. From living in a basic world people are trapped in, to being transported into a mechanical world that ends up being a huge prison everyone is oblivious to living in. “The Matrix” stands out greatly through its creative exploration of philosophical themes, and is a innovative head trip you absolutely want to take. Directed by the Wachowski brothers, “The Matrix” involves a variety of philosophies centered on the theme…

facts about the values demonstrating to anything that appears to be genuine. The second autopsy pursues to reveal what is eventually genuine, regularly giving solutions in severe difference to the daily knowledge of the universe. From the movie “The Matrix,” the storyline behind its filming lies behind the philosophical point of view. The movie leaves the audience with lots of questions in their minds. For instance, the movie hoovers around the theme of metaphysical like when Neo asks, “what…

The film The Matrix follows the character Neo as he is thrust into a new reality much different than what he thought was true. In this new reality otherwise known as the real world it is revealed that the world that Neo was living in was actually a computer program known as the matrix. This program was created by robotic machines who harvest bodies (of the people in the program) for an energy source. The film follows Neo and others who have been freed from the matrix, as they rebel against the…

Resisting the Matrix Resistance is a mental state. The Matrix is designed to make it easy to accept what it tells you, and to make it hard to filter the Truth from the lies. Resisting the Matrix requires understanding its operating principles and assumptions, rejecting them, and helping others to do the same. The Matrix is fascist, the Matrix is deceptive, and the Matrix is bureaucracy. The Matrix is essentially the rule of the institution over the individual…

symbols in “The Matrix” enhanced how the movie was to be perceived, often of the difference between reality and an illusion. The most striking part of the main characters within the Matrix is their sunglasses, which are worn by those in the Nebuchadnezzar and the “agents”. These sunglasses, which cover their eyes (a symbol of understanding), symbolize their state of sleep or ignorance. As the crew, who are asleep, wear the sunglasses to represent sleeping and being in the matrix, the agents wear…
