The Matrix has an enlightening story line. The two ideas that i have formulated from the movie are unique ideals in their own kind but connect in a more broad and wide philosophy.
One is that though the movie we can see, in comparison to todays society, a world that is constructed or developed to think, believe and even act a certain way. When we compare The Matrix to today's society we can see how the media has bombarded our minds and evolution of intellect with ideals that in all actuality are of opinion rather than fact. What im trying to say is that we are fed to believe that we should connect in unison with the way we think, the way we dress, even what we eat. Now in looking at the readings and The Matrix, we see how the world is crafted instead of experienced; ordered instead of inspired.
Another thing is how people would only want the truth if it was a truth that benefitted their life in terms of quality and efficiency. If we look at the case of Cypher in The Matrix, he says "ignorance is bliss," because no matter how fake The Matrix was, it was still easier to live in a world where you didn't have to worry about danger and extinction. Everybody wants an easy life where everything is handed to you and self importance is all that matters.
So the question is are we as human beings seeking truth or are we seeking that which is beneficial to our lifestyle? Are we leaders or are we followers of something that is not our own? These are the questions we need to ask ourselves because we live in a world that is about status and accomplishments but are we really accomplishing anything? It all depends on what is true. And for a fact i know that this is true in ou society. So, you need to decide if your gonna be another pawn or if your gonna be the one leading the game.
