The Matrix is a really good movie, it's just such a boy movie. In class was the third time I've ever seen it, and both prior times were for school. It's not a movie I would opt to watch on my own time.
What I thought was really interesting in the film was how for Neo's entire life, he was actually in a gooey future pod, and his mind was just living in a computer generated world. But every human was in a gooey pod, and they were all living in 1999. So, my question is, if Neo had a best friend- we'll name him John- was John in a gooey pod, experiencing the same Matrix, making Neo his best friend? Does everyone experience the same Matrix?
If so, that's pretty impressive. If not, that's also impressive because that's a whole lot of random cyber people to make up. My eyes would hurt after staring at a computer screen for that long.
My favorite part of the movie was when Neo met with the oracle and he broke her vase. The oracle told him "what's really gonna blow your mind later is wondering if you still would have broken it if I hadn't said anything." I think that's a great line because it's so true-- people are constantly wondering "what if?"
I think your perception of the matrix is very interesting and it is a perspective i had never thought of before. The idea that the matrix would be different for everybody is a cool concept to think about. Perhaps the computers let everybody see the reality that the human wanted to. The whole "what if" aspect of the movie i also find interesting because if Neo was simply "the one" then the movie would not be as interesting because there would be nothing to question.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't classify the Matrix as "a boy movie". It's a Sci-Fy film that anyone can enjoy. I did. And I personally think that it is maybe one world that everyone is living in because to have billions of different computer generated worlds made specifically for each person would be a lot. But that is very interesting to think about.
