Remember when you were watching the movie and you felt some anxiety
about what will happen? You laughed at some parts even. And there have
been other movies where you may have gotten sad. Yet none of these are
real--they are movies. Were your feelings real? What is real when it
comes to what you experience?

Well to my understanding feelings are emotional thoughts the people
such as my self experience at one point or another. I my self was
experiencing some feelings tours the end of the movie when Neo was
defeating the agents,i felt the feeling of how this men who could of
barely defend himself tours the agent thanks to the kiss of a women
who is in love with him was able to wake up from death and get 10x
stronger then the agents then selfs, then it goes out how neo kills
the agent and saves the day.

As I was watching the movie, I believe that my feeling were real
because I indentified myself as the main character of the movie in
other words I wasn't anymore watching the movie but I was in a movie;
by the matter of the fact, it wasn't a movie anymore but it was the
reality. The real things when it comes to what I experience are my
feelings, the things I touch and everything iI interact with.

no my feelings where not real because when i watch any movie, in my
head i know that i am watching a movie and most of the things there
are movie tricks, we are all humans and there is a part of the brain
that controls our emotion, and as long as we are we are watching a
movie that has scene of emotion in them, we are bound to feel it. i
feel real is just a state of the mind, you take what your brain
translate to you.

My feelings where real because i was feeling it as fit was the truth.
i felt like if i was inside the movie and i had the need to feel sad
at a certain point, in others i felt nervious. It is real when i
experienced it because am living it at the momment and your mind and
body feels the need to express it out. i didnt had the chance to
watch it during class but i saw it home and i felt the need to eat and
sort of ignored everythig from the outside.

yes i felt very anxiety when Neo got killed but after Trinity kiss Neo
i felt release that he came back from death and killed the agent so
easily. But after all the movie was very funny and interesting
throughout even though it was fiction.

my feelings to the movie was exciting becuase it was so entertaining
to me to see something totally diffrent.The only thing that caught my
eye was the last scene when Trini was dying and Neo gave her his last
kiss and that kiss was so emotional that it brought her back to life

None of my feelings weren't real. Except for the funny parts. Because
the things that Neo did were so obvious that anybody could've known
what would happen next or in that exect moment. When it comes to my
experience, real is something that you have been through, what you can
feel, taste, smell, what happens now or before. Of course movies
aren't real. But it gets us an idea about how the world will be from
an different angle and it also shows us the way in what we think about
each other.

Well i did felt alot of anxiety while I was waching the movie. Yea,
movies are not real but the feelings we get while we watch a movie are
real because you could feel when your anxious, happy or sad. For
example i felt when emotional when Trinidy kiss the dead body of Neo
and than he survive from dead i think is was a really touching escen.
I think ma feelings are real when they come to an expirience because i
could feel them.

When I watching the movie, and other movies with the kind of story
like this one, there are times when I would laugh and most times, my
emotions would be awaken. The things you are looking at will wake your
emotions to the extent that even the real seem to be unreal. It
happens to almost all humans to thre extent that some people cry ,some
some become excited and others experience fear.Movies of this type
often awake the emotional side of us.

when i was watching the movie in class.It really did not have affect
on my feelings to the movie or the emotion because i knew that the
matrix movie was just a movie and was not a true life story, but i
could say the way they did the movie was cool meaning the graphic
parts was the best ever and was nice.

Yes my feelings were real.What is real is that to every action there
is a reaction,so when i was watching the movie if it was something
sad i will feel the sadness, if it is funny i will laugh so yes my
feelings are real even though the movie is made up.

I knew that my feeling were real when i watched the movie because i was able to connect to real life. When Trinity kissed Neo i was able to relate because i felt the same was when i kissed someone that i loved and I anticipated what will happen next.

The feelings aren't real because I know it's all fake. That's what I want to really happen but in the real world it would never happen the way it happens in the movies.

I cannot see how Trinity's kiss can connect to real life because when I kiss people, they don't come back to life in this world or another one.Trinity's kiss is a fairy-tale kiss.

I agree with Spicy Mama, everyone else seems to be trying to take a literal approach to the feelings of the movie. Her kiss brings him to life in the movie yes, but I dont believe you need to bring someone to life with a kiss to relate to it.

Its is only what you make of it. If there is something there there is something there. When Trinity kisses NEO she brings him back to life. Sometimes a kiss in the "real world" can inspire someone to do better and in terms save their life.

Claim: No question about all movies just kind of acting, on the other
hand, Something beside the acting, the technologies, every movie has
some messages send out to the audiences. Which about the real world
that we are living in. this is real. Reasons: If we have not
experienced the things that the movies were showing us, I don't think
that anyone of us will feel being touch by it. Therefore, in the real
world we must have the same common in that point, which lead us to the
realty to feel and think about.

I got lost when I saw your response.
According to the Bible,"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not
envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor
others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no
record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the
truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always
perseveres. Love never fails..." Even thought each of these just a
symbol of love, could not represent love by itself, but when you see
them you will know is love. Same as, In " The Matrix" Neo sacrificed
himself for others was a sight of love for friend. Even more you don't
think your parents spend time and working hard for you is not love?
Unbelievable. Give me some examples... please...

I agree with your opinion. It is hard to believe that something you
never see, hear and experience in your life is real. I think our brain
can't go further right now. So, our brain will tell us this is just
the movie that creates for us to watch. However, it is good for us to
ativate our brain.

I totally agree with you Franklin because I'm one of those people that
can get into a movie but always have in mind that its only a movie.
There might be some emotion in it but you should only believe what you
have seen and what you can back up with facts. Neo made a decision of
taking the pill without knowing EXACTLY what it would bring

I agree with you Doctor X because a kiss does not connect you to real
life or changed to different world. Also I believe that scene of the
movie appear because to make us believe that was the end of Neo
suddenly he lives. Therefore he wins the battle against the matrix
agents and demostrate he is the one to save the humanity.

"The Matrix" made me think a lot about our world. I had mixed feelings
during watching that movie. I know that is the fantastic film, but if
we will look on many movies which were filmed in the past which were
than seen as a fantasy, we can realize that now they become sometimes
partly or even in full true. I mean situations from our current world
which earlier we saw just in movies: for example about terrorist
attacks, natural disasters making huge damage on continents, or even
computers, robots. Lets just look on situation with WTC which was
earlier in some movie and nobody believed that could happen.
Disasters? It's enough just to check news about Japan were was the
earthquake again. Robots? People are able to program toys to do some
things which can be used for children, computers can do every day more
and more, calculate for us, do tasks, who knows when they will start
think for us. Yes that what happened in "Matrix" movie. People
invented machines which on the way to protect us, they read code in
wrong for us way and started to control us, because sometimes to
protect is easier to imprison somebody to do not let do bad things.
Nuclear war was started by people so robots in way to protect us made
the perfect imagined world, not perfect for us - perfect for machines.
Sometimes during the movie I feel anxious, because even I know that is
just the movie, but I start to think from where creator of the movie
took that idea of the world. Maybe he has just huge imagination
or ....maybe he found out something more about the world what nobody
knows yet? Maybe he think that world is not ready yet for some
information and the movie will be kind of preparation for future? Who
knows... maybe one day we will find it out... :)

I think in "Matrix" they show us this too that love never fails, it's
stronger than everything else. Even death can't break real love. That
what they have shown in the movie, that love will survive everything
and can break even the biggest adversity.

When it comes to living an experience of any kind, a fiction book a
musical, or a fantasy movie, it is real what you get from it, no what
you could see. Watching the Matrix I had different kind of emotion
trough the whole movie. At the beginning very i was confused, then
exited, at some point sad, and a lot of fun overall, but they all were
real for me because I felt them. One of the movies that has cost more
tears to the audience in the history of the Hollywood's industry is
the Titanic. Millions of people were deeply touch by the film. I
remember my sister crying like if one of our relative had died, but it
was because Dicaprio had died. Beside the example of my sister, many
people were disconsolate because the had feelings for the story even
if it were fiction.

I think Dr. X that "what is real?" is like paraphrasing. Is there for
you
to see it, but you will have to put it in your own words (what you
perceive is what is real).

Guys,
I think that message of the famous "kiss" is that
what Trinity believed base on what the Oracle told
her. The movie is about a war of persuasiveness........

back alive and did what he had to do. which was killing the agent. he
become poweful than ever and defend the enemies of the movie.

When I started to watch the movie i was tired from a long day of work
and school, and because I watched it a long time ago I forgot how
interesting this movie is. But it caught my attention since the
beginning of the movie, I got really excited watching it. It helped me
to forget about all the stress that I had that day. As I am a fan of
fiction, action and fantasy film "Matrix" is part of these categories.
I felt very emotional when I was watching it, as I was one of them.
The part that i loved the most was the agents kiss that makes Neo
become much stronger than he was before. I thought that it was funny,
how a woman's kiss can make a man so strong and confident.

I agree with you. My feeling is real, too. When I was watching some
scene which was about Neo went to the real world, I felt sad because
the world became a desert. And people there were not borned by
people. They growed in the ground like plants. And also, when they
were babies, they were fed with electric water. It sounds really
terrible. I am really worried about it will be truth in our life one
day.

I think so. It only happens in the movie. In the real world, dead
people are dead, and they cannot come back forever. In "the Matrix",
Neo cannot die, becase he is the main actress. If he died, the story
could not be continued. They use Trinity's kiss to save him, because
they want to expand Neo's heroic personerlity.

died by agrent shooted then reborned by triphy's kiss. I laughted and

scene was a different field of reaction for me.

reason: in the movie it was different scene and mood changes at every

killed trying to svae the world from peopl who wanted to corrupt it

claim: when neo was kissed he came back to life. trinit's kiss is like
a kiss of an angel.

reason: this feeling was more on the romantic side because she kissed
neo and he came back to life and felt more stronger than ever.

evidence: by her kissing him he came back to life and save the world.
when super human or hero get kill or hurt, they always have that
person or thing that brings them back to life and makes them even more

I agree since what is real depends on the person and their life
experieces because what I believe
to be "real" can be different than another persons idea of whats
"real".

Evidence would be christianity believing in 1 god,buddhism believing
in no god,or hinduism believing
in many gods.

Claim: My feelings was not real when I watched the movie because
most of part were not the real thing same as the human.

Reason: The reason was that " The Matrix" was born someone creating
to become a human. One of them were hate about their reality because
there was not exit their lives. They could follow what they believe
and moved forward.

In my perspective, feelings are part of you and a human being is made
of bones, flesh so they are real. They are part of our mechanism.
There is a study that our feelings not only originate from our hearts
but chemicals and partially our brain. Our experiences tend to be very
diverse and in an instant we can seem to not know what is real, a
dream or unreal. For example in the Matrix we see this when in diverse
occasions. His experiences didn’t quite match his experiences. In the
beginning of the movie we see that all of these things are portray as
a dream and he even gets to think that are only dreams until he is
found and proven that is real. Some things are need to be proven real
for us to feel it in that way. When it comes to experiences, it is
easy to know what reality is or not. Most of the time we notice things
from other people such as Neyo with Morpheus and Trinity, the constant
communication and questioning made him doubt and realize there was
another world. Morpheus question make us doubt and belief that we are
the only ones that control and are able to know what reality is.

We answered the question “what is real” in psychology; I answered this
question by explaining in detail how our five senses work. My
conclusion was anything we can see, touch, feel, taste or smell is
something real. My response to this question was shot down in very
beginning of The Matrix. Although I still believe that something real
is something able to be experienced by the senses. The Matrix
constantly asks the question “what is real” in the movie I think Neo’s
first life was reality, simply because “The Matrix” is unrealistic.
The morphing that the agents do in the movie will never happen in the
“real world.” Although the ability of machines taking over is very
possible the odds are extremely slim. Therefore, they cannot claim The
Matrix is what is real in life. The whole movie was just, in my
opinion, really horrible science fiction. In Aesthetics, we learned
about the Paradox of Fiction. The Paradox of Fiction is the phenomena
of crying when a character in a movie dies, but not being emotional
about real-life tragedies. This is explained by the author creating
this connection between yourself and the characters to where you
almost feel like you know them personally. I don’t think these
emotions are real and pure, I think they’re staged. It’s not like you
cry for days about a movie.

What is real? Real is what we see. Even though we may know that what
is going on in the movies isn't really happening in life we are
experiencing it. Like, in the Matrix to Neo it was all real because he
was experiencing everything. Even though it was in this world, that he
knew all along or in a world that he was new to, they all were real
experiences. Experiences are what make reality. If we were not to
experience or have evidence that we could visually see we wouldn’t
really consider it real for the fact that we are not sure of it.
If we see what is going on we can consider it real. Reality depends on
each individual because not all individuals have the same experiences
or experience a different way that changes their reality.

To answer the question what is real, one would have to know everything
there is in the universe. Which is clearly impossible. But that
question is probably the hardest question to ask an individual because
there is no solid answer.

Even though what was in the movie was an imaginary world, doesn't mean
that our feelings aren't real. The movie itself is but not it's
contents. I don't even think there is a such thing as fake feelings
(unless you pretend to feel one way, when you really dont). So to
answer the question, yes, the feelings towards The Matrix were real.
What is real in terms of what you experienced? I would have to say
reality. What you learn, see, feel, smell, taste, touch, hear, breathe
is all real. But how would we know if this is really reality? We
don't. What you imagine and dream MAY become real in the future, but
it is not reality.
In the Matrix, Morpheus asks Neo "what is real?" What's real to
Morpheus may not be real to us. He thinks that this computer world and
being able to teleport different places is reality because it's all
hes ever known. His reality is an imaginary world to other people who
aren't immuned to what he sees, feels, hears, tastes, and smells.
Morpheus thinks that people can teleport through a phone line, or have
a computer download skills into your brain; so that Neo and him can
fight kung-fu. Or when Morpheus and his team fight, he thinks that
going in slow motion in the air is what consists in reality.

In my opinion, your reality is rooted in two core factors.
First, your level of consciousness, awareness or knowledge and
secondly your experience (physical, emotional).

Addressing the first factor, without the knowledge that there is
more to your world than what you are presented you are left in a state
of bondage or blindness that you alone cannot escape. In the Matrix,
until a person was "unplugged" they had no idea that the world they
knew was simply a computer generated program. Without the hope of a
person already outside of their "world" rescuing them from this
existence, they were hopelessly trapped in this space. Without
providing another option, the computer generated program was their
world and all they knew, therefore their reality.

As for the second factor, I believe what a person experiences
physical but more so emotional dictates their reality or perception of
reality. For example, though we as the viewer may have known that
Neyo's memories, experiences, essential his entire life was an
illusion, the emotions that connected him with his "past" still shaped
his reality. Even onces Morpheus unplugs him and shows him the truth,
Neyo has a very hard time accepting it. Even with the presentation of
concrete truth and evidence, one's emotions can be so strong that
their "incorrect reality" becomes no less real than before they were
provided with the knowledge of the truth. Neyo's life, as he knew it,
was his reality and until he chose to relinquish those emotional and
physical links to his "past" he would not have been able to accept the
truth, which would have essential left his reality unchanged.

WHATS IS REAL? is the recurring theme in the matrix. My claim is real
can be whatever we make of it. Isay this because to us we would say
our lives are whats real, what is personally, emotionally or
physically effecting us. When Neo sees blood in his mouth after
leaving the matrix he says to morpheus that he though none of it was
real..
Morpheus: Your mind makes it real
Neo: If you're killed in the matrix, you die here?
Morpheus: The body cannot live without the mind
I couldnt agree more with morpheus. For example people who suffer from
mental illness live in a whole other reality for ours, we call them
crazy but for them its reality.Its what they know so it is considered
real to them even though we try to explan that there is not "imaginary
friend" or "white rabbit". Through out the movie it is stated numerous
times that what you believe can become reality. For example the roof
jumping or the dodgeing of bullets is made possible because his mind
made it so. also, a good example of this would be the little boy with
the spoon. he says "Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that
bends, it is only yourself." I interpreted this quote as a refereance
to the mind and its abilty to create the perception desired.

Neo: I thought it wasn't real
Morpheus: Your mind makes it real
Neo: If you're killed in the matrix, you die here?
Morpheus: The body cannot live without the mind

This is a very philosophical question. There's no answer to what is
real because many things influence people as they grow up and every
influence will lead to a different answer. Peoples parents, friends,
culture, where they are from, things they put in their body, the media
around, and many more all are influences that may make one persons
answer different from another. Many responses to this question might
appear similar, like twenty people mentioned touching and feeling and
they're not wrong, but if you go in depth with them they'll have a
different answer eventually. Anything you feel spiritually and
physically can be viewed as something real. Most people think anything
they see is real but believing something is real can be taken into
consideration. The emotions you have with a movie that has un-real
events can cause emotions because it somehow relates to our
experiences even if it’s not straight forward. One example of the
Matrix is when Neo has to defeat the agents. I’m sure we can all agree
that he is breaking the laws of physics but it is rather fascinated to
watch. His movements are un-real in the real life but it can be viewed
as real to others if they can relate to it. For instance boxers and
martial arts students can see the moves Neo does as real, only
difference is the high velocity.
