The Matrix is a movie that describes the future. The movie is about how Neo thought he was in the real world, but it was just an illusion and that the Matrix is reality. At first I didn't understand the movie, it was confusing. After reading Allegory of the Cave I understand what the movie is about and what they are trying to say. It also had religious themes.
The Matrix and Allegory of the Cave are similar. Allegory of the Cave helped me understand the movie a bit better. It is about a group of prisoners who lived all their lives chained up in a cave and they never had seen the light or the real world. Neo went through the same thing, he was like a prisoner who never saw the real world, the whole time everything around him and the things he did was an illusion. Once Neo broke free from the cave, he saw the reality which was the Matrix. Socrates and Neo both question a lot and they seek for answers. The movie also had religious themes in which Jesus was the one to spread the word and Neo was the one to end the war in the Matrix. Neo also resurrected from the dead as Jesus arose from the dead.
Morpheus believes that Neo is the one and he helped him see reality. After watching this movie i wonder, are we in the Matrix? When we die, does that mean we got unplugged? These question go through my head now.
