The Matrix and The Allegory of the cave


Tse Tsz Chung 1106826 (Matrix and the allegory of the cave by Pluto)

What if we are being told that what are we now is actually projected? The people around us is only an illusion from another parallel world, there is another planet of people are guarding at us. Someone is ruling us. The appearance of bible has explained the unfortunate and fortunate we encountered, do we ever think of is it something is pre-arrange by someone or a group. Are we the puppet controlled by someone? Hence, what is real and what is illusion? And are we dreaming or we are being dreamed? In the movie matrix, people in reality doesn’t like us work in day, rest at night. Instead of these, they were set on a box filled with liquid and their body was plug in wire to support electricity apply to the city that under govern by machine world. Human is a slave. Neo and the teams is fight for the freedom as savior to save the entire slave out of the shackle. Human slave was like prisoner in the allegory of the Pluto, believe what they have been told, seeing what the machines wanted them to see but not through their own perspective. Once Neo comprehend the concept of reality through underwent the world of matrix, he wanted to save the entire innocent slave by defeating the world of matrix (shadow) to pursuit the true reality. And the Morpheus in this movie is projected as the people who showing the object in front of the flame. In matrix scene, Morpheus giving two pills (blue and red) to Neo, if Leo chosen the blue bill, he will remained in the fiction world; taking red pill will bringing him to see the reality he should be and so called “how far the rabbit whole goes". The reality is far beyond our imagination and its infinity. Leo chose the red pill and he sees the reality of a real platform, which is symbolic to a freed prisoner, was allowed to see the real world. Once he comprehends of the theory of reality, he can’t wait to survive (tell what he saw) those who are in prison (cave), but there would be a lot of barrier (agent smith, the twins, machine) for the resistance team to spread the truth and free the human slave (save the prisoner from the wrong mindset). Another interesting scene, which is the conversation between neo and oracle in the park, talking about the theory and the facts of whether is that everything is a programming by the machine world from what we see and sense, the program which watch over and control everything of a platform was interpreted into GOD by people explaining for themselves. Everything has a purpose. What is the purpose of being lived here? What is the purpose of being controlled or not to be? And only inner of us answer that question. No one knows except us. Choice is an illusion created between those who have power and who don’t by Merovingian has stated down the theory of allegory of the cave power holder controlled the prisoner by offering the choice of being released or imprisoned.  And also everything must having cause and effect mentioned by Merovingian has projected the shadow from the object in front of the flame and sunlight projected to the object which obvious to our sight. Cause is the light resources and effect, which is the outcome of the object.  But the truth we always argue about. Which is the real projection.
