The Matrix: The Theme Of The Matrix

1031 Words5 Pages

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if technology ever took over the world? In the matrix, this is exactly what happens. Technology takes over human kind and gives them a false reality. The movie is about how select people can see what's going on isn't real, and break free from the false world around them. Neo, who is the main character in the movie, is the only one who can break down this matrix by seeing past the illusion. Neo and a few other characters take the journey to be free from being bound by technology. The theme of the movie is freedom.

Towards the beginning of the movie, you see trinity running from a man who looks like he could be apart of the secret service. She is wanted by the man but at the time the reason is unclear. This man is wearing sunglasses which can show authority. Authority comes with being bound by rules and this restricts freedom. The police are also on the chase for trinity. As the camera follows the police, all of the cops are squeezed inside the shot while it follows them chasing her. They are all trapped inside the shot, and gives them shallow space. A low …show more content…

He has realized that he is free from the matrix. Neo can now bend and warp the matrix. The agent goes after Neo to fight him after he came back, and he puts his hand behind his back and acts like nothing in the world could bother him. Neo then realizes that he can really do anything and can't be held back anymore. He kick some the agent back with his foot in a inhumanly way, and watches him fly down the hall. Soon after the agent gets up, he runs towards him and enters through his body and destroys him from the inside out. After this, the phone rings and Neo goes back to reality. Morpheus and trinity now know, and so does Neo, that he is the one. At the end of the movie, he says that he will work to show others what the matrix is, and soon they will all be

The “Rap-Back” Of Tech In the two stories, “Harrison Bergeron”, and “By The Waters Of Babylon”, the world is “destroyed”, or “remade”, after a technological “break-down”. Tech can very easily lead us to our own imminent demise, none the less it’s own, but usually, it may only do so with our allowing it.

Although Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 preceded The Wachowskis’ The Matrix by almost half a century, they share many themes -- both overt, and covert. In Fahrenheit 451, the protagonist Montag goes through three phases of life: being oblivious to the dystopia, being in conflict about it, and resolving to be liberated from it. Montag’s ‘awakening’ was caused by his own curiosity and internal dissatisfaction with his life and the world he lived in. However, the actions that he took seemed to be completely subconscious, and not planned. In comparison, in the Wachowskis’ The Matrix, the protagonist Neo made the conscious decision to take the red pill, which represented his desire to learn the truth about the world.

In the article, “You Are Already Living Inside a Computer” Ian Bogost informs his audience of how technology is advancing at a very rapid rate and is affecting our day to day lives. Bogost is fearful because he suspects people are becoming so addicted to technology that they want to form into it. He quotes “newer dreams of what’s to come predict that humans and machines might meld, either through biohacking or simulated consciousness.” (Bogost 5). When new technology comes out people become excited and want the newest version right away.

When a Movie is Not Just a Movie: The Matrix as Philosophical Paradigm, Sociological Fiction, and Mythological Allegory During the past 15 years scholars have studied and analyzed The Matrix1 against numerous contexts, not the least of which is super-cool, groundbreaking, special effects, like bullet-time 2 and computer-generated Kung Fu moves. Beyond introducing revolutionary cinematographic techniques, I believe this film has become part of the historical contextual record in at least three significant rhetorical conversations. In what follows, the Close Reading and Text in Context approaches will be used to analyze the main text against the broader contexts of postmodernity, dystopian fiction, and mythological allegory. First, I will summarize the plot and characters of the main text; then provide an overview of the three rhetorical contexts against which I will analyze the main text.

Being sucked into technology is like only seeing straight ahead, and not aware that the entire world is there. When someone is so focused in their own world it makes people become distant and not aware of other people, and being aware of people starts conversation and communication, which has been lost between nearly every citizen living in their society. Montag remembers, “One time, as a child, in a power failure, his mother had found and lit a last candle and there had been a brief hour of rediscovery, of such illumination that space lost its vast dimensions…and they, mother and son, alone, transformed, hoping that the power might not come on again too soon” (5). Technology pulls people apart, and when technology is not operational, people come together again and the feeling changes the perspective from which one views technology. The technology, in addition, is creating an “illusion bubble” which causes people to think that they are safe and content, but in reality, however, there is an atomic war happening, and technology causes people to think that their “bubble” is reality; they cannot tell what is real and what is not.

This, as a result, will certainly cause humanity as a whole to lose their own instinct of independency and self-control. What will be left of society will most unfortunately be unbalanced, inefficient, and appalling. As a result, society should come to the conclusion that technology isn’t disastrous itself alone, it is the connection and reliance that we have with it that makes it disastrous. Before we come face to face with terrible and unexplainable situations, it is wise for us as a society to reach a decision to overcome this dependency and be able to function properly once again to continue to live a prosperous and fulfilling

Contemporary society is a variety of all things good and bad that one might misinterpret as perfect if glanced upon with a pair of rose colored glasses. While new inventions and scientific breakthroughs, have lead to daily life and communication becoming easier to handle and manage, as a society humanity often times fails to see the adverse effects of these technological pursuits on itself. In the dystopian novel, Brave New World, the author Aldous Huxley focuses a great deal on the idea of technology and control. He does so by grossly exaggerating many of the common technological advances of today and making them seem unrealistic and unbelievable, while in actuality are closer to the truth then far from it. Aldous Huxley showing the reader

A n alternate reality, machine takeover and a life built on lies. The dystopian genre has a habit of shedding light on societal concerns. A specific example of this can be seen through the analysis of the movie The Matrix, in which the issues of artificial reality, a word run by machines forcing conformity and human enslavement are all jam packed into 2hours and 30minutes. The first Matrix program was created to serve as a perfect utopia for the human kind, however, it was not accepted as real so they just kept waking up (IGN, 2003).
