The Film The Matrix

837 Words4 Pages

Throughout the film the Matrix, there are moments that scare us as humans because that is what our future could look like if we don’t start to be more careful with energy sources and the development of technology. This movie can take two sides, it can definitely inspire us with the technology that is present in the movie like the holograms that show the sentinels progressing to the ship to damage it and kill the people inside it. The side I am choosing is to do with the warnings tied to the movie, what I mean by this is how in one of the scenes Morpheus shows Neo the world at the time of 2199. This warns us about the amount of solar power we consume and we need to reconsider that. The message in the Matrix is nothing new, we have seen it in …show more content…

In the film this quote is true. In the Matrix there are very dark scenes about what the real world will look like and be like if we don’t find an alternative sustainable primary source of energy. For example, the scene when Morpheus says “It was us that scorched the sky, we were too dependent on solar power.” He also says “throughout human history we have depended on machines to survive.” This scene has a variety of different camera angles, like when looking up at the sky it gives it a lot of authority. We have lightning and thunder. This signals an intense amount of danger and also to be aware. This is a message that is heavily spoken around the years and that we have to be aware that there is a limit when we should stop. Stephen Hawking made a quote that is closely related to the topic of the Matrix and artificial intelligence. “The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race”. This message is not only conveyed in movies but by one of the greatest physicist ever. This is one of the many reasons that the Matrix is trying to make us caution of the decisions that we make instead of trying to give us ideas that motivate …show more content…

We have Morpheus, the person who was there from the beginning. He saw everything unfold. Morpheus described the world as a dark and gloomy place outside the Matrix. After him we have neo, the solution. Neo didn’t know the world as well as he thought he did. He was a computer hacker at night but in the day he was know as Thomas Anderson. He is the solution to this problem, and everyone but himself believes that. In the Matrix the main colours of the movie are black and green, this hints that it is not just a normal world but the world inside a computer. The Matrix is specifically on a computer which gives the concept more of a real life feeling instead of being hooked into a futuristic time portal. This is what makes the movie intimidating. Another scene is when neo decides to take the red pill, Morpheus gives him a choice to either wake up into the real world or stay in the world he knows. The colours in the film that the siblings choose are amazing. The red colour of the pill can stand for danger and taking a risk while the blue colour is soothing and calm and signals that everything will be fine. This scene is highly linked to the world we know today; we have to take risks to be able to gain knowledge or a skill that we didn’t have

An individual’s life journey is linked to the process of enlightenment, which can be achieved when one realizes the world they have been dwelling in is an illusion and is not under their own control. The science-fiction movie The Matrix, Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave”, and Golden-Globe award winning film The Truman Show all have the same underlying theme of escaping an artificial reality. “The Allegory of the Cave” is a dialogue that criticizes human perception. In the dialogue, prisoners draw a parallel between the dwellers in the cave who believe the shadows on the walls are real to humans who believe in perceptions based on empirical knowledge.

5. CONCLUSION Having analyzed the variety of themes used in The Matrix, it is still hard to assign the trilogy to one particular culture. However, its strong correlation with English-speaking society structure allows us to evaluate the extent, to which the artifacts in the trilogy are linked to the ones in the English-speaking countries. We can find a variety of religious and cultural themes originating or largely present in English-speaking countries: from biblical themes and Christianity, through English literature, to references to intelligence agencies in the United States.

David Parnas’ “The Real Risks of Artificial Intelligence” focuses on the unseen negative aspects of Artificial Intelligence. He argues that AI programs can be untrustworthy and even in some cases, destructive due to the programming approach that programmers take. While Parnas is negative about the concept of Artificial Intelligence, Eldridge see Artificial Intelligence in a brighter light. Both authors present their arguments differently in terms of tone, level of diction, examples and organization.
