'Matrix'

I thought the film was very action packed which for me is very entertaining. This captured me from the beginning. The film the 'Matrix' ties to the "Allegory of the Cave" because people that live in the matrix are tied down like the people in the "Allegory" not physically but mentally. What they see and hear is what they believe. They have a whole world behind them and in the "Matrix" there is a whole world outside of it. In the movie Neo is freed from the matrix and brought to the real world. At first he didn't believe anything that was going on, he didn't believe Morpheus or Trinity he was a disbeliever just like the people in the "Allegory". In allegory no one believed this one man that was free; he was basically saying that there was another world outside the cave. Just like Neo he didn't believe there was another world out there. In the movie Morpheus returns to free people from the matrix and Neo is the one selected because he is believed to be the 'One', the man that will be able to stop the war between humans and machines. As the film goes on the Wachowski brothers use famous lines from movies and philosophers. I believe this made the movie a lot more interesting and understandable and now that I know this it makes more sense. A couple of years back when the film was first released I didn't understand much of what was being said. I believe the movie is very much like a video game with its special effects such as the slow motion in many of the fighting scenes. Another thing that makes this film like a video game is all the fighting they do, different types of techniques used and the way that the characters are able to do almost anything they in the matrix. The music made Neo's training more intense and it also made that fighting scene when they entered the building more dramatic. I really liked the film personally after really analyzing all these readings and details that went into the movie it is a great film.
