The Matrix- Jake Bradbury
The Matrix is a movie that I have seen multiple times and consider to be a favorite of mine. The western elements infused with the martial arts style of fighting makes for a good action movie. The plot, however, is not straight forward and thus gives the movie more depth than a regular action movie. The concept of everyone being in the year 1999 is interesting to me due to the fact that Mr. Smith says that it was the apex of human society. This is strange because this is the apex from the eyes of the computer and this is the boom of the dot com era. My question is how time evolves in the matrix. When people grow up and have children, because the matrix is making new children for power, how will they perceive the passing of days, months, and years. DO the robots merely reboot the system? Do the robots interfere with the everyday lives of the human minds just for fun? Also, if the oracle is a robot program, why was it made? It seems to me that the robots wanted to lose eventually if they would create software to help the humans. Furthermore, why would Morpheus trust the Oracle if she was indeed made by the robots.

I like your question about how time evolves in the Matrix. If you're in the matrix and you fall in love and have a kid... is that kid also in the pod or just in your imagination?
ReplyDeleteThat question sort of goes along with my blog post, about wheather or not two peoples matrix mind's were connecting, like in a chat room. Is everyone's matrix experience the same, or completely different?
On a somewhat similar note, Agent Smith explains that the machines once tried creating a perfect world for the humans but they would not accept the program. I find his theory as to why humans did not accept the program interesting. Agent Smith theorizes that humans did not accept the program because human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. In his view, this definition of human reality is instilled in our primitive cerebrum. I find his thoughts to be dark and profound and I feel as though they go unmentioned.
