Matrix Review

In The Matrix there many idea or themes that come across. Some might be religious themes or Philisophical. A religious theme that comes across is jesus. Neo in The Matrix is considered as the One or the savior, like jesus was to his disciples. Trinity plays a major role in the movie but her name can signify as being anything that has to do with three things or people. Like The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. In The Matrix Neo dies and ressurects just as jesus did. Neo can also be compared to Socrates a philosopher in 500B.C. Socrates a wise man whos questions alot of people. Just as neo did when he was reborn or ressurected the first time he was brought into the real world, Neo did not know anything. Socrates went to an oracle and asked if there was someone who is wiser then him. the oracle replyed and said that he is the wisest there is no one wiser. Socrates then left in search of someone wiser and found out that he is the wisest. Neo had a familar experience when he went to see the oracle, the oracle said that he wasnt the one. Neo went on believing that he's not that one, and later finds out he is. Socrates and Neo doubted themselves but proved themselves wrong later on. The Matrix can also relate to Socrates Cave. When people are chained in the cave forced to look at a blank wall where behind them is only a small fire. Between that fire is a walk way where the people chained would only see the shadows of those who walk by. They wouldnt know who they would be or what animal might be crossing. If one person would be let free they wouldnt know anything about the real world they would be confused. Same as in The Matrix Neo was confused when he was freed from his chains. If your in the matrix how would you know if that people your looking at are real? How would you know that everything around you is real? How would you know whats real or whats not?

If i was in Socrates cave and i was chained i wouldnt know where im at i would have memories from where i came from. I would know that im chained up because for years i would b able to move restricted to one position day after day. In Socrates cave i am forced in a still position to stare at a blanket wall, and all i can see is shadows casted by people walking behind me....i would assume im in a cave by the rocky texture of the wall and how the foot steps of people would echo from the distance. i would know theres a fire behind me by how the light flickers on the wall and how a shadow would flicker as well when a person walks by.
