The Matrix, Plato and Descartes There are several obvious similarities between these three works. In The Matrix, the protagonist Neo is a man who learns that his entire existence has been a lie. He has been living in a computer generated dream world along with the rest of humanity. His perceived reality was not actual, he has been deceived. The Matrix has created a false reality for him. Only once he has been given a pill is he able to awaken from his dream state and enter the ‘real world’…

Books are often made into movies with the same titles and relatively the same plots, but it is rare to find a novel and a movie with completely different plots with so many similarities. Wall-E, an animated film about a robot, and The Handmaid’s Tale, a novel about a society where women are going sterile, can both be classified as having dystopian societies. In fact, they have many characteristics of a dystopian society in common. A few of these similarities include living in a dehumanized state…

With the matrix structure, it overlaps both the functional design, which is what Omidyar initially started out with and the divisional design. Within the matrix structure method, employees belong to at least two groups at the same time. For example, within the functional areas Omidyar set up initially, someone in finance could have knowledge…

The medium of film is such a powerful tool, that it influences thehuman mind in a very subtle manner. It is so accessible that one can even watch them on their phones, holding it in their hands. It manipulates our daily life in such an unnoticeable manner. It does it through advertisement, television shows and films as well. It chooses to focus on particular narratives and gives so much importance to them that the audience not only becomes more informed, but it triggers thought in the audience…

The alarm next to my bed sounded. Looking up, the clock read 6:00. Time to wake up. Time to save the world. I might not look like much. Average height, average build, and an unmemorable face. None of that matters in the Matrix though. In the Matrix, you can be anything. In the Matrix, I am the most elite hacker in the world. Hacking isn 't like what it used to be. Used to be AI sat there covered in their ice and all you had to do was run a program to break through without leaving a trace. Not…

Introduction The matrix is one of the most fascinating narratives piece of science fiction films ever been released in the late nineties, in the movie there are several distinct features that stimulates a lot of crucial questions about human existence, the world that we are living in and how we distinguish between what is real and what is not real. This piece of writing will analyze the Matrix film by means of sequence analysis, it will also focus on mis-en-scene and all elements that will…

Noël Carroll argues that for something to be considered a film it must have the essential attribute of movement. She does so by arguing the case of Serene Velocity, which incorporates perception of movement on screen from still images. This essay will explore her argument that the film is doing metaphysical philosophy due to movement, and its existence as a thought experiment, then discuss how the short film, Night Table, satisfies her argument. My aim is not to focus on the content that is…

it does not exist and is merely a construction by machines. Life inside the Matrix is similar to that of the end of the 20th century yet it is a computer generated dream world built to keep humans under control in order to change them into energy. While connected to the Matrix humans are none the wiser about the fact that what they perceive to be reality is actually just a façade. The real world, the world outside the Matrix, on the other hand is a barren wasteland, a dead earth with no sun and…

contrast The Matrix with the readings from Plato and Descartes. What are some similarities and differences? The biggest similarity among The Matrix, Plato’s cave analogy, and Descartes’ reflections is that they question whether the reality experienced through the senses is definite and real, or if it is just an distortion of reality. The Matrix is a movie about a cyber “reality” where everyone is connected to a super computer and their virtual reality is simulated (“Synopsis: The Matrix,”…

free will? In this essay I am going to explore this philosophical contention. Firstly, I will present a personally preferred definition of fatalism. Secondly, I will summarise the argument by Theodore Schick; that fatalism is true in the world of the Matrix and explain why I think this is an unsuccessful argument. Finally, I intend to discuss why I think fatalism is false in our current world providing reasons for my answer. Fatalism is a philosophical principle that states all events and…
