Response to "The Matrix"

My views on the matrix as a whole is our so called “REALITY” is a virtual world called the matrix. They are living in the late 2000 years and computer intelligence has taken over. Morpheus and his crew members on the ship are dependent on machinery and computer programs to stay alive. In the matrix the team(Morpheus, Trinity, switch,Neo,etc)try to avoid the undestroyable agents. What I don’t understand is is if the matrix supposed to be a virtual reality why isn’t there a way to easily defeat the agents. In the movie smith is much stronger and faster than Neo. when smith has defeated Neo and kills him,trinity is able to get into his mind and he is reborn again. Its funny how the matrix has biblical ties to it. As in class today we spoke on how Neo is compared to Jesus as well as comparing Neo to Socrates. Jesus was chosen from God to save us and as written in”the Matrix and philosophy” Neo was chosen to break the grip of the matrix and free humanity with the truth. But what is the truth?Truthfully I think the Wachowskis brothers based it on more so on Jesus with a twist of their own science fiction. With Socrates he was different. He asked questions about his calling which mad e him popular “among the socially conscious youth” stated in The matrix and philosophy. I think both Neo and Socrates went by perception and illusion. What society created for them became a dimension in what they believed in making them think they where the ONE. Like professor Smith said Media creates MEDIA.
