Before I get into this blog post, I just want to say that I will be doing all I can to continue these reviews in the midst of the CO-VID19 outbreak. Luckily watching movies is a relatively solo activity and can be done within quarantine. I encourage everyone to follow directions from the CDC and all other officials. Trust me, I know this whole situation sucks. But hopefully a love and interest in movies, exploring other worlds, and seeing how far we’ve come will help us get through it all. And with that, on to the review.
Our culture is seemingly engrained with the ideas from “The Matrix”. How many times have you heard about a glitch in the matrix? Or that the simulation is messed up? It’s incredible how this movie has somehow become such a relevant part of our society and yet it’s not one of those movies that pops in your brain. After reviewing “The Matrix” it adds more mystery as to why we don’t talk about it more.
The beautiful thing is, it’s the concepts in the movie that attract us. There’s plenty of concepts in movies from space/time travel to “the force” to superhuman powers. But the thing that I think truly makes the concepts in this movie stand out so much is how close they could be to our real world. Think about it: we’re now incredibly connected through technology. We’ve had stories given to us about real life now being what we think it is. Every day our technology advances and god knows where we’re heading with climate change and AI.
I’m not saying that this is what really happened. Just that the concepts in “The Matrix” really do make you wonder. What if we’re just a simulation? What if we don’t even exist? What is CO-VID19 is actually a computer virus? Interesting things to think about…
