MATRIX

Chew Bert Zian 1105245


The Matrix is a movie that talk about future, which human are being control, and living in a simulated reality that created by a machine. This film concept is somehow like Plato's cave theory, where people are imprisoned in  cave, and only can know the outside world by just watching the shadow that drop on the wall, but they don't know that, the shadow that drop on the wall are not from human, it just from puppets and fire pit. The prisoners in the cave never gonna know the truth if they dun stand a chance to walk out from the cave.
In Matrix, the human who under control of the system is just like the prisoners in the cave,they were lived in the simulated world since birth, so they will think that the simulated world(cave) there are living now is real, and will never know the true real world and the reality that are being control by a system( shadow & fire pit).

Neo's journey in the Matrix are fit to Monomyth, the hero's journey steps. He is the hero in the movie, he leave his ordinary world, which is the simulated world, by accepting the calling of his mentor, Morpheus to cross his first threshold with a red pill to the real world, and get know with Morpheus and his crew. During this time, he learn the rules of the real world. After that, he face with ordeal, the dead of Morpheus's crew members, betrayal of their ally Cypher, Morpheus being captured and his death, but he is being revived by Trinity's kiss, and gain a new power to perceive the matrix and destroys Agent Smith. The ending of the movie, Neo making a promise that he will demonstrate the people that imprisoned in the Matrix.( return with elixier).
