Believing in Fiction I
Believing in Fiction i The Rise of Hyper-Real Religion “What is real? How do you define real?” – Morpheus, in The Matrix “Television is reality, and reality is less than television.” - Dr. Brian O’Blivion, in Videodrome by Ian ‘Cat’ Vincent ver since the advent of modern mass communication and the resulting wide dissemination of popular culture, the nature and practice of religious belief has undergone a Econsiderable shift. Especially over the last fifty years, there has been an increasing tendency for pop culture to directly figure into the manifestation of belief: the older religious faiths have either had to partly embrace, or strenuously oppose, the deepening influence of books, comics, cinema, television and pop music. And, beyond this, new religious beliefs have arisen that happily partake of these media 94 DARKLORE Vol. 8 Believing in Fiction 95 – even to the point of entire belief systems arising that make no claim emphasises this particularly in his essay Simulacra and Simulation.6 to any historical origin.

The Matrix Trilogy's Postmodern Movie Messiah

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. This article is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol9/iss2/7 Stucky: He is the One Introduction The Matrix1 was a firepower-fueled film that spin-kicked filmmaking and popular culture. -
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. -

You're afraid of change. 19 of the columns terminate in the letters of “THE MATRIX REVOLUTION.” The camera passes through the U, which extends back into a canyon of smaller symbols with gaps in its walls. 1 NEO (cont’d) I don't know the future.

Designed in man’s likeness the machines served man well, but man’s jealous nature ruined that relationship.

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. -

Alison Cook-Sather Bryn Mawr College, [email protected] “Free your mind.” This exhortation becomes a refrain in the Wachowski brothers’ film, The Matrix (Silver, 1999), a visual study of movements of mind. Set sometime around the year 2199, the movie follows Morpheus, the leader of an underground resistance movement, as he guides the young hero, Neo, to a startling recognition: that what he believes to be reality at the end of the 20 th century is in fact a computer-generated dream-world called the Matrix. This “prison for [the] mind,” as Morpheus describes it, was created not only to contain and control human beings but also to turn them into a source of energy to power the very construct that contains and controls them. -

Reassessing The Matrix/Reloaded Abstract Much has been written about Larry and Andy Wachowski's film The Matrix and on practically every angle: from philosophical precedents to the realities of artificial intelligence. Religious scholars, oo,t have thrown their hats into the academic ring, expounding on the Gnostic, Buddhist and Christian aspects found therein. But as many have discovered, the Wachowski brothers are syncretists, pulling bits from here and there and then mixing it all together in a science fiction-martial arts stew. They do this so thoroughly that when one tries to impose a singular religious paradigm on top of the film(s), slotting in the characters one-by-one, it seems to work only until put back within the context of the film(s). It is then when everything begins to unravel. Even though scholars have done it time and time again employing one religious worldview to understand The Matrix and The Matrix: Reloaded simply does not work. -
Understanding the Matrix
UNDERSTANDING THE MATRIX Written and Compiled by David Allen Rivera (2008) "The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes, to blind you from the truth."

While most movies are made to entertain, and are fairly straight forward in their approach, The Matrix challenged its viewers. Incredibly unique was the fact that different people who saw it, had different interpretations of its meaning. For people to devote their time into discussing the "meaning" of a Hollywood movie illustrates the shear impact it has had. Few movies have been dissected like The Matrix . This book considers the interpretations, the observations, the symbolism, and the spiritual significance of The Matrix , and puts it into perspective. Are you ready to discover the truth behind The Matrix ? FINDING A TREASURE I never saw The Matrix when it came out in 1999. -
Invented Religions : Faith, Fiction, Imagination / Carole M Cusack
Invented Religions Imagination, Fiction and Faith Carole M. Cusack INVENTED RELIGIONS Utilizing contemporary scholarship on secularization, individualism, and consumer capitalism, this book explores religious movements founded in the West which are intentionally fictional: Discordianism, the Church of All Worlds, the Church of the SubGenius, and Jediism. Their continued appeal and success, principally in America but gaining wider audience through the 1980s and 1990s, is chiefly as a result of underground publishing and the internet. This book deals with immensely popular subject matter: Jediism developed from George Lucas’ Star Wars films; the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, founded by 26-year-old student Bobby Henderson in 2005 as a protest against the teaching of Intelligent Design in schools; Discordianism and the Church of the SubGenius which retain strong followings and participation rates among college students. The Church of All Worlds’ focus on Gaia theology and environmental issues makes it a popular focus of attention. The continued success of these groups of Invented Religions provide a unique opportunity to explore the nature of late/post-modern religious forms, including the use of fiction as part of a bricolage for spirituality, identity-formation, and personal orientation. Ashgate NeW RelIGIoNS Series Editors: James R. Lewis, University of Tromsø, Norway George D.
