Blog 6_ The Matrix

The Matrix is a science fiction movie released in 1999 directed by Larry and Andy Wachowski. In this movie Neo is a hacker played by Keanu Reeves gets recruited by Morpheus played by Laurence Fishburne, who offers him the chance to learn to learn the truth about the Matrix. Morpheus gives neo the choice; he offers him a red and blue pill. The blue pill is to return to the world that he knows and he will never remember anything that happen there, while the red pill will take him to the matrix and will see the truth, Neo takes the red pills and goes into the matrix. It takes time until he realizes he is not living 1999 that was a simulated reality and that instead it was close to 2199 and the world was controlled by machines. He learns all kind of abilities, techniques and movements by just connecting itself to the machine and loading all this into in his memory. A prophesy makes Morpheus believed Neo is The One, no machine could destroy him and at the end he finally start believing on himself, becomes the savior of human race and making the prophecy reality.
In this movie the gender wasn’t really important at all. Males and females had the same abilities as anyone, women can be as strong as men, had similar abilities like karate, kung fu, kick boxing, learning how to flight plane, helicopters anything, it just have to request it to the computer and it will be immediately in their memory. I would rather to live in the matrix and stop living in an illusion. I would like to live in the matrix because it’s a way I can help free the human race from the machines.
In this century machines are taking over everything, any kind of job has to be done by the help of a machine and in some cases you don’t need humans for this job. For example in the supermarket they have the self check out in which you check out yourself in a computer. Some supermarkets no longer need humans to do this job, for them is cheaper to do this, but what they don’t realize is that machines are taking over all humans works slowly and we are becoming machines at the same time. Slowly human race in becoming dependent on any electronically device like; cell phone who can live without them??? or the iPod. Nobody can live without a computer they will be disconnected from the world. We are not living in the matrix, but we will suddenly 20 years from now or 30, who knows. But the main point is that we are more dependent on computers day by day. The names that some of the characters have in the Matrix movie have a meaning, the main character Neo is definitely the one if you reorder his name neo to one and how all the characters life’s are connected to each others, I think this is the most obvious thing you will noticed in the movie.
