Readers not wishing to know such things before seeing the film may wish to see it before reading further. RATING WARNING: The Matrix film was rated “R” in the USA for: • intense scenes (medical, acupuncture, blood, burns, physical grotesquerie, the “bugging” of Neo, etc.) • violence (including a direct gunshot to the head when Trinity says “dodge this”) • language (19 scatological references, 4 “posterior” references, 11 variants of “God”, 7 vari- ants of “Jesus”). The film does not contain sex or nudity. I. INTRODUCTION The Matrix, a Warner Brothers film released in April of 1999 in the USA, was directed by brothers Larry and Andy Wachowski. The Matrix stars Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne, among others. (Plot summary paragraph) Mankind created Artificial Intelligence (‘A.I.’), which in turn “spawned a race of machines” that defeated humanity in a great war. Because nuclear winter has darkened the sky, those machines required a substitute for solar power. The machines found a way to siphon the heat and bioelectricity from a human body, but they needed a way to keep captured humanity docile during the process. So the machines built a vast ‘power plant’ system of prison pods where humans float in a lifelong coma, their brains hooked up to a vast virtual reality called the ‘Matrix’. The Matrix is a simulation of 1999 earth, where people go about their illusionary lives oblivious to their true state of captivity. The machines have ‘sentient programs’ called ‘Agents’ who patrol within the Matrix simulation to ensure the mental prison runs smoothly. Neo, the protagonist, is a human in the Matrix who senses something is wrong with his existence. A tiny group of freed humans from outside the Matrix extracts Neo from the Matrix simulation then physi- cally rescues him from the machine ‘power plant’. From their hovercraft, they train Neo to over- come the rules of the Matrix. Neo must then use the socket on his skull to jack back into the Matrix simulation world so he can free other humans and fight the virtual Agents. Neo masters the Matrix world and destroys an agent at the end of the film, leaving us to guess the rest as he ascends into the simulated sky. On the surface, The Matrix is a polished, thinking man’s sci-fi action flick with big budget special effects, tech tunes, and cyberculture influences. But The Matrix mainly succeeds as a canvas for conjecture. The film pulsates with religious and philosophical nuances, provocative names, cul- tural commentary, and myriad metaphors, giving the perceptive observer a mental playground. Simply put, it seems that with a little effort, one can get just about anything out of this multifaceted movie. And for a thinker, that’s fun – which is one reason why the film quickly developed a dedicated fan base. Is The Matrix a commentary on man vs. technology? Or reality vs. illusion? Does Neo represent an anarchist? Or the antichrist? Or even Christ? Is Neo a nihilistic rebel? Or is he a parable of a Christian? Does The Matrix use eastern philosophy? The answer to all these questions is “Yes”, depending on how you choose to view the film! We will glance at some of the many ways to view the film, then analyze in detail two fascinating allegories of The Matrix: Neo as a lost person who finds truth, and Neo as a Messiah figure. As DuJour says, “Come on - it’ll be fun!” -3- II. THE MANY WAYS OF VIEWING THE MATRIX (If this list bores you, just skip ahead to the allegory in part III) To give you an idea of just how many ‘lenses’ are available to view The Matrix, here is a very incomplete (and purposefully so!) list of themes and influences that people are analyzing in the film: • Neo as man who becomes a Christian and learns to walk in faith • Neo as Christian Messiah • Neo as Jewish Messiah • Christ’s Second Coming (the hint from Morpheus that Neo came once before) • Neo as Antichrist (reverse all good/evil roles in the film) • Neo as Moses who leads people out of captivity • Neo as key figure or exemplary believer for various religions, philosophies, movements, govern- ments • Neo as man coming to enlightenment (Buddhism, some eastern philosophy) • Neo as man discovering himself and/or truth (many philosophies and religions) • Alice in Wonderland (white rabbit, looking glass, etc.) • Dorothy / Kansas / “Mr. Wizard” / Oz • The nature of reality • The nature of truth • The nature of identity • Philosophy vs. Religion • Man vs. Technology • Science vs. Faith • Fate / Free Will / Destiny • Illusion / Dreams • Conscious vs. Subconscious (Jung) • Superstition (Neo sees black cat = ‘bad luck’) • Man vs. “The System” • Nihilism • Social Rebellion / Anarchy / Nonconformity / Disestablishmentarianism (a fifty-cent word!) • Control / Authority (“You have a problem with authority, Mr. Anderson”) • Greek mythology (Morpheus, Oracle, etc.) • Mind over matter (‘Spoon boy’ bending spoons, girls levitating blocks) • Metaphysics • Humanism (a future with ‘no borders’, ‘the power is within you’, ‘free your mind’, etc.) • Evolution (cf. Agent Smith’s speech

This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

  • BEFORE the PHILOSOPHY There Are Several Ways That We Might Explain the Location of the Matrix
    ONE BEFORE THE 7 PHILOSOPHY UNDERSTANDING THE FILMS BEFORE THE PHILOSOPHY I’m really struggling here. I’m trying to keep up, but I’m losing the plot. There is way too much weird shit going on around here and nothing is going the way it is supposed to go. I mean, doors that go nowhere and everywhere, programs acting like humans, multiplying agents . Oh when, when will it end? – SparksE The Matrix films often left audiences more confused than they had bargained for. Some say that their confusion began with the very first film, and was compounded with each sequel. Others understood the big picture, but found themselves a bit perplexed concerning the details. It’s safe to say that no one understands the films completely – there are always deeper levels to consider. So before we explore the more philosophical aspects of the films, I hope to clarify some of the common points of confusion. But first, I strongly encourage you to watch all three films. There are spoilers ahead. The Matrix Dreamworld You mean this isn’t real? – Neo† The Matrix is essentially a computer-generated dreamworld. It is the illusion of a world that no longer exists – a world of human technology and culture as it was at the end of the twentieth century. This illusion is pumped into the brains of millions of people who, in reality, are lying fast asleep in slime-filled cocoons. To them this virtual world seems like real life. They go to work, watch their televisions, and pay their taxes, fully believing that they are physically doing these things, when in fact they are doing them “virtually” – within their own minds.

  • MUSIC 351: Psychedelic Rock of the 1960S Spring 2015, T 7:00–9:40 P.M., ENS-280
    MUSIC 351: Psychedelic Rock of the 1960s Spring 2015, T 7:00–9:40 p.m., ENS-280 Instructor: Eric Smigel ([email protected]) M-235, office hours: Mondays & Tuesdays, 3:00–4:00 p.m. This is a lecture class that surveys psychedelic rock music and culture of the 1960s. Psychedelic music played an important role in the development of rock music as a predominant art form during one of the most formative decades in American history. Emerging along with the powerful counterculture of hippies in the mid-1960s, psychedelic rock reflects key elements of the “Love Generation,” including the peace movement, the sexual revolution, the pervasive use of recreational drugs (especially marijuana and LSD), and the growing awareness of Eastern philosophy. The main centers of countercultural activity—the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco and the London Underground—drew a high volume of media exposure, resulting in the famous “Summer of Love” and culminating in popular music festivals in Monterey, Woodstock, and Altamont. Students in this course will examine the music and lyrics of a selection of representative songs by The Grateful Dead, The Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother and the Holding Company, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, and other bands closely associated with the burgeoning psychedelic scene. Students will also consult primary source material—including interviews with several of the musicians, influential literature of the period, and essays by key figures of the movement—in order to gain insight into the social, political,

He is the One: The Matrix Trilogy's Postmodern Movie Messiah Abstract Many films have used Christ figures to enrich their stories. In The Matrix trilogy, however, the Christ figure motif goes beyond superficial plot enhancements and forms the fundamental core of the three-part story. Neo's messianic growth (in self-awareness and power) and his eventual bringing of peace and salvation to humanity form the essential plot of the trilogy. Without the messianic imagery, there could still be a story about the human struggle in the Matrix, of course, but it would be a radically different story than that presented on the screen.

  • Breaking the Code of the Matrix; Or, Hacking Hollywood
    Matrix.mss-1 September 1, 2002 “Breaking the Code of The Matrix ; or, Hacking Hollywood to Liberate Film” William B. Warner© Amusing Ourselves to Death The human body is recumbent, eyes are shut, arms and legs are extended and limp, and this body is attached to an intricate technological apparatus. This image regularly recurs in the Wachowski brother’s 1999 film The Matrix : as when we see humanity arrayed in the numberless “pods” of the power plant; as when we see Neo’s muscles being rebuilt in the infirmary; when the crew members of the Nebuchadnezzar go into their chairs to receive the shunt that allows them to enter the Construct or the Matrix. At the film’s end, Neo’s success is marked by the moment when he awakens from his recumbent posture to kiss Trinity back. The recurrence of the image of the recumbent body gives it iconic force. But what does it mean? Within this film, the passivity of the recumbent body is a consequence of network architecture: in order to jack humans into the Matrix, the “neural interactive simulation” built by the machines to resemble the “world at the end of the 20 th century”, the dross of the human body is left elsewhere, suspended in the cells of the vast power plant constructed by the machines, or back on the rebel hovercraft, the Nebuchadnezzar. The crude cable line inserted into the brains of the human enables the machines to realize the dream of “total cinema”—a 3-D reality utterly absorbing to those receiving the Matrix data feed.[footnote re Barzin] The difference between these recumbent bodies and the film viewers who sit in darkened theaters to enjoy The Matrix is one of degree; these bodies may be a figure for viewers subject to the all absorbing 24/7 entertainment system being dreamed by the media moguls.

But the movie has plot as well. It has characters that I cared about. From Keanu Reeves' excellent portrayal of Neo, the man trying to come to grips with his own identity, to Lawrence Fishburne's mysterious Morpheus, and even the creepy Agents, everyone does a stellar job of making their characters more than just the usual action "hero that kicks butt" and "cannon fodder" roles. I cared about each and every one of the heroes, and hated the villains with a passion. It has a plot, and it has a meaning Just try it, if you haven't seen the movie before. Watch one of the fight scenes. Then watch the whole movie. There's a big difference in the feeling and excitement of the scenes- sure, they're great as standalones, but the whole thing put together is an experience unlike just about everything else that's come to the theaters. Think about it next time you're watching one of the more brainless action flicks If you haven't, you're missing out on one of the best films of all time. It isn't just special effects, folks.

  • Born to Be On-Line: Cyberpunk, Cyborgs and the Matrix Trilogy
    Hacettepe Üniversitesi Edebiyat Fakültesi Dergisi 2006 / Cilt: 23 / Say›: 1 / ss. 257-267 Born to Be On-line: Cyberpunk, Cyborgs and the Matrix Trilogy Kader YILMAZ* Abstract Films of science fiction, such as The Matrix (1999), and its sequels The Matrix Reloaded (2003) and The Matrix Revolutions (2003), are often categorized as cyberpunk which is a subgenre of contemporary science fiction. As typical examples of this type of science fiction, The Matrix and its sequels illustrate the concern of cyberpunk to envision a near future world where information technologies reign supreme, and shape the lives and affairs of societies including the lives and the very existence of individuals. More specifically, The Matrix trilogy depicts a future world that is populated with cyborgs, or posthumans, and run by a globally networked artificial intelligence called the matrix. In this respect these films do not only speculate on a highly technological near future but also on mankind`s changed existence in this environment. Especially, the image of the cyborg serves as a means to address the issue of the human and machine interface in these films. More importantly, the cyborg, or the post-human, in The Matrix and its sequels is not only emblematic of the human and machine interface but also of man’s very dependence on this technology as a means to survive in a highly mechanized environment. This paper argues that The Matrix and its sequels subvert the man vs. technology dichotomy and speculate on the altered existence of humans by envisioning and affirming the coexistence of man and the machine in the near future.
