The Matrix Review

The Matrix was a very good film, to those who watch it without the naked eye. Its symbollic and subliminal messages conveyed an idea of what may be going on in the world today. For example Neo, the chosen one, and Morpheus, leader of the resistance, form a message in there name. This we know by Neo which means new, and Morpheus, who has the word Morph. Morpheus trained his soldiers, and taught them the truth of what the matrix is, this can be why he is known as Morpheus, for changing the mind of a certain individual. Neo which stands for new, is one of the most powerful soldiers in the resistance, his name symbolises humanity changing, possibly cause he is the only one strong enough to fight the machines, so he has an advantage of starting a more civilized and new species.





As an ordinary being within the matrix, Neo is Thomas A. Anderson, a computer hacker with a serious talent for what he dedicates his pass time with. This we know when he sells a disk to a guy for 2,000 dollars, after the transaction neo reminded his buyer to be discrete of what they had done. It is not explained why Thomas A. Anderson is The One, but it could be because, he resisted the matrix, by being a great hacker, so he basically fought the machines, or retaliated against the matrix while being a hacker. Before he sold his disk for 2,000 he received a message, hinting him to follow a certain symbol which was White Rabbit.





This here is also another simple message that The Matrix uses. White rabbit is a term used in Alice In Wonderland. It most likely represents faith, in Alice In Wonderland, Alice followed a white rabbit, and fell to a hole, where she then encountered a world full of rare animals and peculiar sightings. Neo also followed the white rabbit, and was then guided like alice to gather information about the matrix. In the beggining of the film, cops are chasing Trinity, Agents then come, and order the cops, meaning cops are controlled by the agents first hand. The agents also give a huge appearance to the look of any normal C.I.A. Keanu Reaves confronts one of the agents in the precinct, that means that these agents play an important role for the security of the matrix for having more privilages then cops do. These agents are the defense for viruses withing the matrix, such as the resistance, the same way C.I.A is the defense of foreign affair for america.

The Matrix reminds me alot of imperialistic nations, such as Rome. A nation that for a period of time, its main objective was to gain land. This nation could not have been succesfull without its people. The same way the matrix succeeded with the energy of its people. Basically its message is that, a government should organize with the peoples decision, only that the government in the matrix blinds people from knowing how its imperialistic nation was formed and governs.
