_The Matrix_ has been considered by many as a "message" film. What do
you think the film is trying to tell us about what is wrong with our
world? And, should we care? (or maybe we shouldn't).

According to me the theme iof the movie matrix is based on illusion and reality.The movie matrix is basically created to make the humans realize about the world in which people are bondage as servants with out knowing it.The world of matrix it totally computer based which makes the people to stimulate the human civilization which is now destroyed by the nuclear war.The world is created by the creator,but it is being arranged by the man.The world is some how covered with a layer of evil influences.The persons who love to live in this world denies to see beyond the boundaries.And who have seen beyond the boundaries have found the real truth.Many great philosophers have said that if you love the world you can't love the creator at the same time.If you truly want to worship him than you have break the ropes of lie which are tied as knots in your feet.In every generations of human life some extraordinary personalities are send to present the darkness of the world into a transformation of a glorious life of reality

The movie is trying to tell us that our world is being destroyed by
ourself. We should think about what we have done to the Earth such as
over deforestation.

That makes sense--the "desert of the Real," as Morpheus calls it. Is there any particular moment in the movie that makes you think this?

I totally see the "we are destroying the planet" theme when Morpheus
says "We torched the sky". Environment vs. Technology are common in
dystopian visions.

I believe the Matrix is a message film, but not to the world. I believe its more a message about the US government. In the movie, the machines let people believe they have a say in their own lives but work behind the scenes to keep them in line. The government does this in the same way with certain laws. A person is to believe they have certain rights, but are then limited on how much of those rights they are allowed to exercise.
I think this is something everyone should be concerned with. Laws like anti-abortion law, are bad for this society. This is because of the concept behind the law. Abortion has to do with the right to do what you want with your own body. If a woman doesnt have the right to decide to remove a fetus from her own body, what right do you have to decide whether or not one medical treatment is better for you than another?

Claim: The Matrix film is trying to tell us that we are slaves on our world.
Reason:The film is telling us that how the corporate is running our life daily.
Evidence: Suits or agents are trying to run this world as the see fit. And we don't have a saying on it.
Like on Wall Street, Only them run the econony of the financial world. Regular people don't have a saying on it.

I believe that Matrix trying to tell us that world has been destroyed by people. However it says that robots is going to take power and they will control people in the world. Maybe another message could be that we have to take care of our world. Otherwise as Matrix shows we may lose our world. Because people who live in Matrix, don't care about each other and they have limitted freedom, however there is violent in this world. Today we are getting there step by step. We have been changed a lot since we met technology.Now we spent a lot of time with our electronic divece such as computer or I phone, and maybe one day they may lose this control and we may be controled by a computer.

no differences between the people.Its the people who comes to this
world and starts to mark a difference among themselves.The human
beings are destroying this world .The matrix just is a medium to let
the people realize the faults.

cliam: baristuncer, I agree with your idea. I also think the matirx
trying to tell us the world has been destoryed by people. If we do
not care each like people living the matrix. we will lost ourselves.
since we created technology, it really change our life. it let our
life become more convenient. somepeople say computer are smarter than
people. but, computer do not have emotion. we have. if we become
more selfish, we would like computer do not have emotion for
anythings. I think the matrix tell us people shoud contorl
themselves, no control by computer which are people created them.

Hello, Dr. X, In my point of view Matrix is a critical movie that show
us how the future could be if we continue to relate more in technology
rather than us as human beings. We are in a critical times as the
natural resources have been over exploited to a point that one day
what is showing in the movie can be real.

I do agree with you baristu...@hotmail.com, technology is
influencing our world pretty much. It had progressed a lot in the past
years. The way we see the world now would not be recognisable to
people of a few generations ago. Who knows, in the future we might
have technology taking control over the world.

Joaucino, you bring up a very interesting point, and you are correct
when you say the film tells us that we are slaves to this world.
Basically the film gives us clues about whats wrong with our world,
just as Neo opened his eyes to the reality of his surroundings, the
film should be a wake up call to all it's viewers. This is serious
think about what Morpheus said when neo asked what the matrix was,
Morpheus replied the matrix is all around us you can see it, when you
look out your window or when you turn on your television, you can feel
it when you go to work or when you pay your taxes. It is all around
us, it is the world pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
The matrix is a prison that we cannot smell, taste or touch think of
it as a big dome or stage that has been set. The world that we live in
is the matrix, all i will say is that our government and this world is
not what it seems. That's why this films message is so important and
for those who pick up on that message it becomes a wake up call.

Very true. Claim: At the end, we are just the slaves in the world that
we are living in and we willing to do so.
Reasons: We do what everybody is doing. And nobody ask why and care
about where it lead us to. Nobody seeks the truth.
Evidence: Neo has a well pay job, do whatever his boss needs him to
do. Somehow, he knows there is something worng, but it is hard to let
himself to believe what has not showing by someone.Or it is more
easier for him to believe that the things he always do is real than to
against it. For example, like abortion, If we cut a baby apart in
front of our face it seems very sick, but why there will be a
different when doctor is cuting it inside one's womb? And we seems
fine with it. Sometime, it needs more courage to believe in the truth.
Like when Neo has to chose pills, one is a big challenge and other
stay the same.

according to my knowledge this movie is based on reality and choice
that should be made to move on into the illusion of reality and how to
survive and coupe with the decision that you make to be a better
person. for example, me making life decision help me stay focus on
doing what i decided to do to keep me on the right path. in the movie,
neo had to make a choice to take a red pill or blue pill. he made the
choice to take the red pill. the red pill is a pill that will move him
forward in the reality world and deal with real life issues. this will
help him be a better person and also know how the real world is.

claim: the matrix is based on knowing how to make real world decision
and movind forward with them in your life.
reason: the matrix is telling us how the world can be destory by our
wrong decision.
evidence: the world is being run by agents and they try to control
everything around us include us.
for example, the economy is ran by people who make how laws and say
how much taxes we should pay on certain products. people of the
comunity dont really have a right or say to make their own decision on
what the government wants to do.

and the matrix like robot will do everything such as human do. The
Matrix was not real human being and someone created the real human.
What they believe that they are same as human being. They do what they
can and exit. One important thing is choosing the thing must be ture
and control our mind. The body does not exit and only the mind
controls our feeling and mind. We can follow our mind and find out the
real world that we believe in.

I agree with you that this movie is sending the message how hard we
work and
how we can avoid to be slaves on this world and work with dignity and
in a regular way.
I would state that the reason on this movie is to demostrate what
other ways we can obtain to save the world.
And the evidence is that they try to get their purpose without care
about others. In the daily basis we have a salesman, or any marketing
representative and they do not focus on the interest of others. Most
of them try to follow a protocol in order to complete his or her daily
work.

Claim; I strongly disagree to rebekah in her point of view.
Reason: i believe that the goverment should take control of the
resources instead of worrying about the abortion law.
Evidence: our planet is being affected from all the new technologies
implemmented, from the deforestation to the global warning, animals
species are being eradicated. The combustion of gases is exploiting
the ozone layer, it has been said all over the news, all the emisions
of these gasses make the ozone layer to let the sun unltraviolest come

I agree with you, that one day we can be controled by the computers.
Everything goes in that direction. We use cell phones every day, every
few minutes checking something when we have a little bit of time. I
wonder what will happen in 10 years when technology will be more
developed. The problem is we put more effort on creating some new
technology "toys" insted of taking care of our planet. We are able to
destroy it to get some new generation electronic device. Can we call
it as a progress?? in what? technology? or the way to achieve ...total
disaster.

Reason: I believe the movie make us aware of the possible situations

I strongly agree with you. This is like life is. We do not stop for a
moment to organize our lives.
The point you mentioned is very valid, for the following reason: we
are in a rush evey single day and we do not stop.
Especially working parents work, taking care of our homes, and no
sufficient sleep. It should be organized in a better manner

I dont think the Matix is just NYC Dr.Smith,I say the half of the
world is the matrix,
because matrix itself shows how civilization is being controlled by
machine.
Evidence would be that world need technology for everything like
airplanes to travel,
rice cookers used in Japan,ipods to listen to music,telephones/
cellphones for

film. I think that the film is trying to tell us about what is wrong
with our world.
Reason: We believe in The Matrix to get the real world and find
out the truth what we want to know.
Evidence: Morpheus told Neo that what the Matrix exited and if he
wanted to find out he had to take red pill or blue pill. He must be
believe by himself and what he had done. He wanted to stay the real
world; he needed to take the red pill and found out the real world.
He felt what he believe in his mind and could get the real world. The
body did not exit and only the mind exited what he was believe in and
wanted the reality.

I agree with most of what you are saying about mankind is destroying
the world because many of us are losing touch with world. Many of us
are brain wash with technology because we can't lie without it. Don't
get me wrong it became a big help with everyday life but too much is
to much. A lot of people is not taking care of this earth we live in,
this is our home but many of us don't see that or not doing nothing
much to change that. I shrongly believe that we are being control at
this very mintune. It may be hard to believe and thinking of right
now? Yes we use technology every day and all day long. Technology is
making A LOT of money off us. If you do your reach you we see they
have the POWER because of we our people keep buying and buying a
better phone and smaller computer, i-pods, mp3, mp4, I-touch phone,
and the list keep going on and on and on. But we are so AMAZE by it.
We can't live with out them...don't you thing it's something worng

can do things faster and better.

Claim: The Matrix's message is to reach out to us and have us question
the way we precieve things. How quickly is it that we accept something
that we are told. Are we content with just seeing things as they are
presented to us or do we have the rationality to question if there's
more to what appears on the surface. I supose this due to the
similarities I've seen between the Matrix and Plato's allegory of the
cave. Plato's allegory of the cave illustrates humans precceding from
ignorance to the bliss of knowledge. As men are chained in caves, in
the Matrix Neo is trapped in a false reality, he's released by
Morpheous. After knowing the good, Neo returns to battle the evil that
casted the spell of ignorance on humans.

"Claim: I would take the blue pill. Reasons: because I like my life as
it is, Morpheus could be a crazy liar, and who know what 'real' is
anyway? If it feel real to me then it is!" You may choose to add
evidence from the movie as well (a good idea!).
"Claim: I believe The Matrix movie is definitely a Warning, a wake-up
call intended to make us realize that we are living in an irreal
world. Reason: because as we can see in the movie; Technology is very
advanced, and convenient, but there is no respect for human beings nor
the environment even worse people is about to loose faith, Love and
respect to a Supreme being."

I like your point on what you are say the movie is based on illusion,
reality and something more. I also believe every thing around us is a
illusion also on what we see and think. So many things are man made in
society and almost every thing is a computer based which I don't like
because I can see what it is doing to the people around me & it's
crazy. In the move matrix, it was a part in the move where he show
the guy what the world really looks like but, we just can't see it or
so many of us is unaware about it. You see this beautiful city with
people, cars, and build's & all of a sudden it change into something
that look like hell & so dirty and no life. Just seeing that had me
thinking this is what it might really look like, the real world or
what we think is real to us anyway. The city we live in is so
polluted and our is minds also. Like you said people who love to live
in this world denies to see beyond the boundaries. And who have seen
beyond the boundaries have found the REAL TRUTH...real truth to what?
As I see many of us can't handle the truth, THE TRUTH IS UNBELIEVABLE.

The Matrix is a computer generated dream world that is built to
control the human beings. They believe that we are slaves on Earth and
we have not yet got a real glimpse of reality. From their perspective,
and “their” meaning the people who control the Matrix, believe that
cyber space is reality. The film also asserts how we are being run by
our government and that we have limited rights; one will find that in
the Matrix the agents are trying to take over, this is Familiar to how
the government controls us. I also believe that the Matrix is trying
to us that we humans have destroyed our world and so technology is
there to better us. Now-a-days we use technology to get away from the
real world and fill our minds with an illusion sense of reality. I
believe that this is true and we humans should take part of this
downfall; we should really snap back into reality (the real world) and
fight for our rights. It would be the same thing Neo did as he won the
war against the agents.

What is the Matrix? The Matrix is a combination of different
components, but I think it centers around this bondage of the
individual. It operates on different planes, one being an internal
conflict, and the other being external to the individual. On the
internal plane the Matrix ingrains doubt, disbelief, and fear into the
individual, simultaneously creating a paralysis of growth. This is
mentioned by Morpheus in the scene of the jump program. He mentions
these three things specifically (disbelief, doubt, and fear) as a
means of imprisoning the mind. The matrix is a type of mask that is
fitted onto the face of every person, disguising the true reality.
The matrix operates on the level of the mind, deceiving the individual
what is real. Morpheus states this same remark in one scene with Neo.
"Your mind makes it real" cries Morpheus describing the Matrix.
The matrix exists on another plane, the external. It reveals
itself in the form of agents, or more specifically authority.
Authority intrinsically holds power, which can either guide or hinder
an individual. In the case of Neo and the matrix, authority is
represented as an oppressive force. There exists in the matrix power
structures that hinder or bondage an individual. Neo before, joining
the forces of Morpheus and co, worked for a software company. The
scene of his boss reprimanding him for not following company policies
is an example of the power structures that have authority over us.
My final claim has no evidence, but I suspect that the agents
symbolize the internal and external factors that imprison us from
seeing truth, or what is real.

The Matrix is a computer generated world. Where you can stop bullets
in mid-air. This movie takes you on fasicnating trip through an
alternante world where if a phone rings and you pick up your
automatically taking out of the matrix and put back into a kind of
real reality. The rason that his is true is because in the part of
the movie after the sinisters shoot neo to death he gets up, like
nothing has ever happened to him before. I think that the movie is
trying to tell us in a few years machines are going ot have total
control over the world. And we are able to prevent it, but we dont
have the advanced technology that they have to defeat them. Being in
the Matrix doesnt men that you are effected as much as a regular
person/ We on earth are not mentally and pyhsically prepared. If the
machines and came over they would destroy our lives. Without taking a
deep breathe in mere seconds it would happen.

I think that there are two messages that this movie is trying to send,
one of which is that we humans continue to revolve our lives around
technology. We are essentially becoming slaves to technology. What we
created is taking over the lives of humans and will soon develop a
mind of its own and the machines will run us as we ran them.
Another message I believe this movie might be sending is being
destroyed by us humans. We live in an illusion that the world will be
fine the way it is, as we continue to treat it and each other,
horribly. I believe it is trying to tell us that until we come to the
reality of the destruction of the world by its own inhabitants, we
will forever be in suffering. We will not know peace until we will
continue to live in the illusion that the world is fine as it is.
