The Matrix Trilogy written and directed by The Wachowski Brothers, depicts a dystopian future in which reality as perceived by most humans is actually a simulated reality called "the Matrix", Computer programmer "Neo" learns this truth and joins in the fight against the machines. Alongside other people freed from The Matrix, one of those people being Trinity. Throughout the films the viewers learn that Trinity is one of the most important characters. Alongside her and Neo, there is Morpheus, a leader who consistently cares about everyone, and The Oracle who doesn’t stop supporting and believing in Neo. The one similarity between these three are that they all love Neo deeply, supporting him no matter what. Neo's purpose is actualized by other people loving and believing in him.
The Oracle told Trinity that she would “fall in love with The One” but one don’t find this out until very far into the first …show more content…

Out of all the people, Morpheus hand picked Neo. Morpheus really believes in Neo, that he is The One. At the end of the meeting with The Oracle, Morpheus says “You don't have to tell me anything, Neo, because I already know what she said” (The Matrix). This is saying that he does not exactly want to know what she says but instead hopes that Neo can start believing in himself that he is The One. Morpheus is a very patient man with Neo, even through the many messups that Neo had. Morpheus’s faith and belief in Neo stayed strong and confident that Neo was The One. He thought maybe teaching Neo the skills of fighting will start him on the right path. He goes into fighting mode with Neo and as Neo is fighting as well as he knows how to, Morpheus was teaching him all the different tricks that he knew. Although Morpheus knows these moves that could potentially save the world, he is selfless and lets Neo take the lead because he has his full faith and trust in

Neo shows another strong characteristic like Jesus when he sacrifices himself in his lone fight against the agents. While Neo is fighting with the agents, he is shot multiple times and is dying. Although Neo is dead, Trinity has such a strong love for him that he comes back to life and is able to return to her. During this portion of the film, Neo shares even more resemblances to Jesus. For example, Trinity represents the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, which is what resurrected Jesus from the dead.

The Matrix (the system not the movie itself) is a digital prison of shared consciousness and while the deception is more elaborate than Plato’s cave, the effect is the same. The prisoners’ sense of reality is controlled. Every aspect of it is merely a simulated reality, smoke and mirrors used to make people feel what is going on is all there is. No one in the system is aware of it unless they are awoken or told about it, and even then they have trouble believing it. Neo is drenched in the mundanity and feels there is something more but has no evidence to support that.

Is reality really real? What if the universe is actually some sort of simulation? This may sound like the idle speculation of dorm-room stoners and fans of Philip K. Dick and The Matrix, but it has more modern philosophical and even scientific support than you might think.

“To go wrong in one’s own way is better than to go right in someone else’s.” Dostoevsky’s quote from Crime and Punishment declares that continuing our own journey, although may not be deemed correct by others, holds higher value than to lose sight of who you are. Rejecting conformity requires an individual to have indisputable trust for themselves in order to persevere through any doubt they may have as they fight against the current. In the film The Matrix, directed by Lily and Lana Wachowski, we embark on Neo’s journey as he learns to have faith in his beliefs surrounding the world around him. He must digest that his perception of living and life is a fabrication, as the great responsibility of saving the human race shoulders him.

The setting of a film helps to inform an understanding of the film. To further explain, the movie The Matrix is an example of this and here is how. The Matrix is a movie about humanity that has been taken down by Artificial Intelligent Machines (A.I.M).

Megan B. Wyatt explains that due our actions of today, our society will slowly become a dystopia, with equality throughout yet no forms of differentiation. Our world is falling into despair and similarity, and many too people are trying to become the same as someone else due to fear of being different. Our society has preset norms that others perform in order to stay under radar and not be seen as an outcast. As a result, we have lack of new ideas and plain old copies of others. An example of this is smartphone companies, in the way that their new products have similar and even exact identical properties as

The simplest answer to this question is to turn to ethics and examine what exactly is worth giving up to discover the ultimate goal. It can be argued exactly who in these works are considered the protagonist, but overall their reasonings are relatively good because they turn to their ethics. If Eve and Neo did not turn to their morality, it would be harder to find any good in them. Since these characters turned to their ethics, it inspires me to turn to my ethics so I can make the correct decision in difficult situations. Through examining the two characters, I realized that I must ask myself the broader question, which reveals the good in me, which would lead me to take the red pill/eat from the tree of

People use literacy to express their thoughts, feeling and sometimes experiences. Some stories are similar and others are not, these stories are then categorized into different genres to have a universal organization for the many literature pieces we have. I have decided to read and analyze a collection of stories that all fall under the genre of dystopian fiction. By imagining and writing about the extremes of a society, which are dystopian societies in these stories our present society is enabling itself for the actions, it needs to take in the chance of a similar event.
