The Matrix: The Wachowskis

My final rating of the movie is three out of five stars because the sound effects were pretty good. The camera movements were good. The fight scenes were realistic and the characters didn’t fit their description but played their part

The Matrix is a science fiction movie about artificial intelligence computers replacing mankind. I believe that this movie is a common type of display from the media is common paranoia so that they can get a reaction from people and sell their story. In the case of The Matrix, the movie dazzles people with awesome special effects using modern computer technology, which I find ironic. I find it self-conflicting and hypocritical for the media to use modern computer technology for their own good to show people how bad technology is. Amy Bruckman and Howard Rheingold would probably find this movie interesting in that it disagrees and agrees with certain aspects about their beliefs about the use of computers.

In the Wachowski’s action film “The Matrix”, many different philosophical ideas and theories are explored, including the idea of Free Will versus Determinism. The movie’s main character “Neo” (Portrayed by Keanu Reeves) is labelled as “The One”, and is used as a catalyst to represent these philosophical ideas. The Oracle is used as a representation of Determinism, whilst Neo is used as a symbol for Free Will. These representations in turn relate to thefamous philosophical theories ofby philosophers including William James and Arthur Schopenhauer.

The Matrix is a scientific fiction film, that was officially release on March 31,1999. It displays the conflict between the power of technology and the use of artificial intelligence involve in our culture. "The Allegory of the Cave." presented by the Greek philosopher Plato compares the idea of both stories being different but sharing similar ideas and key points that can be analyzed as one of life’s greatest mystery of all time, what is reality? what is real?

The Matrix takes place in a dystopian future where reality is actually a simulated reality called the Matrix. It was created by sentient machines so they can use humans as an energy source. Thomas Anderson is a computer programmer and also a hacker known as “Neo”. He feels that there is something wrong with the world around him. Trinity contacts him telling him about a man maned Morpheus; he exists and so does the Matrix. However, the Agents are preventing Neo from meeting him. Neo eventually is able to meet Morpheus and he gives Neo a choice. Either Neo say in ignorant bliss (blue pill) or learn about reality (red pill). Neo takes the red pill and when he wakes up, he is in a liquid filled pod and connected by cables coming from his body leading

The Matrix was made in 1999, is an American-Australian science fiction movie that was written and directed by The Wachowskis. The movie was made to portray a not so good future where humans actually see it as a simulated reality. The Matrix was created by a sentimental machine that would reduce the human population while the body heats heat and electricity are used as an energy source. Computer programmer Neo, learns the truth and is drawn into a rebellion against the machines, involves other humans who have been freed from the so called dream world. The matrix is known for promoting a visual effect of what is known as “bullet time”. The Matrix opens with a shot of a computer screen, where a phone call is being traced and the viewers can overhear the voices on the phone lines talking about whether or not they have found ‘the one’.

The Matrix by the Wachowskis brothers was a movie about a man named Neo Anderson who is chosen to be ‘The One’ where he is told that the reality he is living in is actually a computer stimulation called the Matrix. In the movie he fights three men who are known as ‘agents’, because these agents desire the secret of the Matrix and believes that Neo has the answer.

The saying “Things aren't always as they seem” plays a big role in this film. The matrix is a computer simulation that makes humans feel like they're living out normal lifes on earth. In reality they are really be used has a power source pretty much like batteries. This brings up an argument from Descartes from the first chapter of meditations. It makes us question what we know based on what we've experienced (Falzon, Chris. "Philosophy and the matrix.") How can you be sure that you are not dreaming all the time? How do you know if something or someone is just creating this illusion for your brain? The matrix makes direct references to this idea. In the movie Morpheus says to Neo “Have you ever had a dream you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake up from that dream? How would you know the difference between the real world and the dream world?” The movie also connects Descartes idea about an evil being creating a illusion for your brain. In the movie when Neo

In The Maze Runner the opening scene sets the feel of the entire movie, creating an atmosphere full of tension and the unknown. This is common for the director, Wes Ball but he constructs an urban, post apocalyptic aspect to the common thriller to differentiate it from the rest. It stars the handsome Dylan ‘O'Brien who is prominently known for his role as Stiles in Teen Wolf, meaning his die hard fan base helped boost the box office. His glamorous award winning co-star, Kaya Scodelario, gave the movie a great plot twist meanwhile gracing the crowd goers with her radiant beauty.The Maze Runner is by far a Suspenseful expose thought provoking film. A basic plot line is that teenager wakes up in an elevator with no memory of who he is, once

Not the movie the Matrix, but the Matrix in the movie, The Matrix. The Matrix is pulls on the problem of perception. Humans are grown in fields, harvested, and then their brains are hooked up to a machine that simulated life while their energy is harvested. The problem is however, when your senses are being perfectly spoofed and you are in a near perfect simulation of the world- you will not know that you are not living the real life. The movie makes some interesting parallels to the idea of dreams. We have all had those dreams that seemed very real when they happened, only to wake up the next day and think about how ridiculous they were. The idea of the Matrix is to be close enough to the real world that the human mind doesn't catch on. This raises an interesting question though. If the humans are really grown and harvested and the Matrix is the only thing that they ever know, why did the Matrix have to simulate the reality that did exist. Would it not be equally possible for the simulated Matrix to be completely different in physical laws and color spectrum and general makeup from the world that humans are accustomed too? The Matrix was extremely successful, in my experience, with illustrating this problem that we have. In the movie, there was someone there to clue the main character into the fact that he was being deceived, and there was an easy way out- the real world was but a phone

The Matrix, if the name doesn't entice you I don't know what will. The Matrix is a movie that broke the figurative wall setting it apart from most movies at the time. The use of special effects and sound shined a new light upon the sfx world. The warping between the real world and the Matrix was something new that a lot of moves did not bring into perspective. A scene that really made me question that this movie was not made in 2016 but in 1999 was when a worm like creature swiveled his way into the protagonist Neo’s stomach through Neo’s very own belly button. A scene that left me in awe and shock. Not surprised where The Matrix earned its R rating. Keanu Reeves portrayal Neo left a permanent link in my mind between the two for example when

The Matrix film describes a world in which the reality that is perceived by humans. The Matrix which is a reality that is established by malevolent machines. The machines then overcome and appease the humans so that the devices can get a source of energy from their electrical activity and bodies’ heat (Schmerheim, 2015). In this film, Keanu Reeves plays a role as a computer programmer lives a double life as a hacker known as “Neo.” Neo receives cryptic messages on the monitor of his computer after which he begins searching for the person behind the messages called Morpheus. After finding Morpheus, Neo is told that

Movie critics and philosophers alike agree that the movie “The Matrix” is indeed based upon certain Platonic themes from Book VII of The Republic. In this story entitled "The Allegory of the Cave," he describes a dark underground cave where a group of people are sitting in one long row with their backs to the cave's entrance. Chained to their chairs from an early age, all the humans can see is the distant cave wall in from of them. The shadows of statues held by unseen ‘puppet handlers’ reflect on the walls from the light of a fire that is also out of sight of those in the cave. The theme of the allegory is that their reality is a poor copy of the real world. According to Plato, our world is nothing but

From my perspective, they did a very great job using all these special film techniques, especially in a movie that's all about magic and strange things. There was a scene where Doctor Strange was endlessly falling and it feels like a rollercoaster if you watch it on a big screen, and it was very enjoyable. There was a lot of nice architectural designs and different ideas of unique universes and realms that open up your mind about our universe itself. There was a great choice of music that pulls you in and puts you in a certain mood depending on the situation, whether it was dramatic or a certain plot twist. Overall, they did a great job producing this film and the special effects worked very

For Descartes, the only absolute truth is that we are something that exists and thinks. “I think therefore I am.”(Soccio pg 163) All other things that we are human, male, female, have a body, etc. could be just an illusion created by a dream or a deception created by a demon or God. The only thing we can be certain of is that we are some sort of thing and that we think.
