the matrix

1. What is The Matrix? Why does it exist?

 The matrix is a computerized dream world. It exists because the machines are taking over and they needed to make a world for the humans so they could take over the real world.

2. Why did Morpheus and his followers consider The Matrix evil? What analogies and similarities can you find to other situations or stories? Be sure to consider the roles of technology in today’s world (i.e. the Internet, bank cards, satellites, etc.).

They might think that the Matrix is evil because they decided everything in your life. It is like our world because the government chooses what we can or cannot do. The internet also decides somethings like how they plant things in our mind and shows us what is right and what is wrong. 

3. The movie raises questions about reality. Morpheus states that, “reality is merely electrical signals interpreted by the brain. Your mind makes it real.” Is it possible for people to have different views of reality? What scenes in the movie made you wonder what was real and unreal? Discuss how Morpheus’ definition of reality compares with the definition of perception.

The part where mouse was explaining how people taste things differently and how everything tastes like chicken. But I don't question reality I think that it's all real. Morpheus says that when you hear see or smell something it is just electric currents going to your brain but the definition of perception in when you see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses.

4. Neo expressed the feeling that he didn’t believe in fate because he didn’t like the idea that he was not in charge of his life. How do you feel about this statement? 

I feel that that is kind of right but I think that you can't totally control your life no matter what. I think it was because fate Brought him to have a chance to see the real world and learn about the matrix. I believe that our lives are mostly fate determined you just get to decide if you want to follow that fate or not.
