A movie that has good concept and philosiphy, but was overrated by special effects and political attention.

The matrix is a computer system that makes up for a false conscousness for people, brainwashing them into believing anything they want. This sums up for all the real psychics, clarvoyants, and telekenis-enabled people, they have simple overcome certain elements of the matrix.

Compare to academia
Time Cube shows us that acedamie exists only to brainwash humans with word god.

a)A movie trilogy that could be described as Lord of the Rings meets Star Wars meets Terminator meets anime meets a whole lot of philosophical mumbo jumbo and with some greek/christian themes thrown in the mix. Oh yeah sprinkle with some flying kung fu and slow motion shooting. A kickass movie, but instead of getting better as it went along, it got a bit worse (yet still kickass).

b)A great movie consisting of a pasty white guy and a magic negro. (lol)
a)I went to see the Matrix, and it was kickass, and it made me think a little... naw i'm just kidding it was just kickass.

b) magic negro: No one can tell you what The Matrix is, you must find out yourself.
pasty white guy: I know kung fu!

Term used to describe the philosophic concept/idea that reality as we perceive it is not the 'true reality', but a shared make-belief acting as a layer to shield off true reality. Usually this make-belief reality, or virtual reality, is controlled by a malicious entity.

The concept stems from (Christian) Gnosticism, which resolved around the idea that we live in a world that isn't true, and that's created by a malicious god. The goal of gnostics is to break free from this world (and hence gain control of it).

The influence of Plato's cave allegory is clear in both gnosticism and the Matrix-movie, but with the significant difference that Plato's cave allegory meant was meant to embody the idea that reality as we perceive it is merely the shadow of the true reality, aka the world of ideas.
Woa, so gnosticism basically comes down to us being in the Matrix?

an excellent movie that has fantastic SPFX, a semi decent story line, mediocre acting and awesome fight scenes, which grabs the viewer into believing that these movies are the best thing since STAR WARS, only to find that the next two movies where written and directed by intoxicated watchers of the tele tubbies, turning what is possibly the best original movie in years into the good part of the worst method of spending my hard earned money to see a movie when the trailer is so much better than the movie itself
I saw the first matrix, it was awesome. I can't wait for the sequels!
I saw the second movie, it didnt make alot of sense, and it was nearly all dialog.
I saw the third movie, thank fuck neo died, I hate the bastard! I wan't the last two and a half hours of my life back!!! What a crock of shit
