The Matrix Was a Documentary

As Rich told you, we installed Internet on our computer a short time ago and I haven't been able to get the kids out of there in 15 seconds since. Oh, it's coming up in ten nine eight seven six five four three two one happy. The night of 1999 The Matrix debuted to commercial and critical success, seemingly overnight the film found itself at the core of popular culture generating an almost endless amount of reviews, parodies, breakdowns and outright rip-offs, even 21 years after its release. premiere, the film maintains a monumental presence in the action film genre and at the same time extends outside the realms of popular culture and its content is impregnated with political ideologies and scientific theories, it would seem to follow that the chances that we are in the basic reality are one among billions;

All of this begs the question: what made The Matrix so special and how does it manage to remain relevant so many years since its release? Beyond the CGI action and technical innovation was there something bigger? The Matrix hinted at an emerging influence from the east of ours. dependence on technology and the fear that coincided With the rise of the Internet, for many Americans, the sleek Jetson-style future they grew up expecting was beginning to fade and in its place a darker, more dystopian vision of the world was emerging. The Matrix would bring together the tried and true methods of the past for the changing tide of a new millennium in a way the public had never seen before and it was through the

matrix

that we would enter the zeitgeist before diving into the

matrix

itself, We must first look back and see what would influence it these days, it can be easy to forget how great the future was promised to be a place where technology served only as convenience, where the Earth could be clean, free of waste and worry and Surely one day our technology would take us beyond the rings of our galaxy, leaving Earth behind in a united unit. front between the universe oh yes, big things were coming it was all just a matter of time in June 1982 the world was shown a different kind of future, one in which corporations had passed up any semblance of government in which technology had become self-aware that humanity was falling down the food chain this was the future of Blade Runner the movie takes place in los angeles but you wouldn't know it at first glance the sunny skies of california have been so polluted that the torrential rains now consume the earth neon lights have replaced the sun In this future, humans depend on the slave labor of cyborgs, known as replicants, but some replicants are not content with being slaves.

The plot follows a group of replicants who have gone rogue while trying to hunt down their creators before their life cycle comes to an end. that seems to be the problem death death well I'm afraid that's a little outside my jurisdiction you want more life father harrison ford stars deckard who works as a blade runner essentially a detective who tracks down these rogue replicants and eliminates them. The film plays out like a noir classic, but was not well received upon its release. Audiences and critics were disappointed by the slow pace. What's with the dazzling special effects for the first 20 minutes or so afterwards, even though there were plenty of others who would appreciate it?

The themes and vision the film had presented were no longer the future, a bright and shiny place of innovation, but a stark story of too much, too soon. Blade Runner quickly became a cult hit and would eventually receive the recognition it deserved and that was Blade Runners. the one that would set the tone for what would become known as cyberpunk firearms, everyone should have one and know how to use and clean it, it could save your life, oddly enough, the first mention of the matrix came in 1984, a date made infamous by george orwell who in 1948 dreamed of his own dystopian future something like 1984 could actually happen this is the direction the world is going today his novel focused on an authoritarian government a surveillance society a people fueled by propaganda in many ways his artistic prediction would ring true and still ring true today, but in the years following the book's release, the world was looking up and walking a brighter path and technology was coming to reinforce that. attitude, one small step for man and that's where cyberpunk comes into play, so we go back to 1984.

It was in July of that year when an unknown author named William Gibson published his now iconic novel Neuromancer and then came Cyberpunk. Cyberpunk was more than a science fiction writer's fad. It was literature's first real response to the information age. His concerns were down to earth rather than trapped in space. and combined high technology with low life, the story focused on a technically advanced society that was plagued by crime and corruption in the world of neuromancer, an artificial intelligence tried to free itself using humans as pawns in the process, just like in Blade Runner. in a future where technology did less for humanity and more for itself was also the first place we heard of the matrix.

You could think of it as an Internet in virtual reality. Users could connect to the virtual landscape and navigate cyberspace. A term that was also first coined in the novel I think I came up with cyberspace before I had the imaginary technology for it I needed a name for a realm for another order of being in neuromancer humanity had become dangerously intertwined with its own inventions and he was losing sight of the natural world. If Blade Runner had created the cyberpunk aesthetic then surely it was the neuromancer that reigned in his themes. The novel was initially received with little fanfare, but the book had struck a nerve and would grow as word of mouth would go on to sell six and a half million copies and legitimize cyberpunk as a science fiction genre, the themes and the Cyberpunk aesthetics would continue through pop culture of the '80s and '90s, generating some mega hits and some flops, but one thing was certain about this new vision of the future. was embedded in our subconscious and it wouldn't be long until it collided with a new wave of underground entertainment for most in the West, watching something animated meant watching a cartoon, cute and humorous entertainment that often expressed moral truths obvious to minds in Development in 1988, that Western notion was to change with the release of an animated film from Japan that film was Akira Akira was violent its complex story its stunning and surreal visuals and Akira was definitely cyberpunk the Japanese had long seen animation as a legitimate format for mature storytelling one where the limitations of filming live action were set aside, allowing creativity to flourish.

It was in this artistic domain that a story of supreme power was woven. The setting is Neo-Tokyo, a dystopian megacity engulfed by crime and built on the ashes of the original Tokyo that was destroyed. As a result of a government research project thirty years later, the lesson has yet to be learned as the military and corrupt politicians continue their research into psychic abilities in the course of history man has once again lost control and as the movie poster reads neo-Tokyo is about to explode as Akira is a long-running manga series in Japan, the movie couldn't fit into the entire narrative and can sometimes seem quite convoluted, still So, that being said, the film brilliantly shows humanity's dangerous nature of overreaching through curiosity.

Greed and Corruption wondered if its power was the shape of the next stage human evolution was taking and perhaps we could all control it one day despite having a limited theatrical release in the west. VHS tapes of the anime would circulate in video stores. and college film clubs for years to come, turning many film and comic book fans into die-hard anime fans and this Japanese version of animation would grow in popularity as the 1990s appeared in all things to directly inspire the Matrix style. Let's say Ghost in the Shell tops the list just by looking at a few scenes, it's clear to see the inspiration in my opinion, this anime is one of the best tributes to the cyberpunk genre.

The story follows a cyborg special agent as she follows a mysterious hacker who is breaking into the minds of human cyborg hybrids. In the midst of the chase, she is drawn to question her own life and her own identity. This is where Ghost in the Shell really shines, as it expertly handles the notion of consciousness and what beyond that really makes a human human can we even trust our own conscious mind to be a reliable source of information? These are some of the questions that the film will invite you to reflect on what a simulated experience is again.

Well, all your memories about your wife and daughter are fake, they're like a Dreaming that someone took advantage of you They were trying to turn you into a ghost Hacking some government officials Do you understand what I'm saying? She was smiling like an angel. What is her name? How old is she? Where did you meet your wife and when did you get married? Ella, I'm sorry to put you through this buddy, come on, who do you see at the launch? Ghost in the Shell was highly praised by critics even though anime is still considered a niche genre and Ghost in the Shell is unusually clever and challenging sci-fi directed.

For an intelligent audience, well, there is certainly something to think about and that is somewhat refreshing compared to many science fiction pictures that are purely pessimistic. This is a film that deals with artificial intelligence throughout the 90s. The anime would continue its growth. In popularity with shows like Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon attracting a new generation of kids to the format around the turn of the millennium, anime and cyberpunk had left their mark on the zeitgeist of American pop culture by inverting concepts of maturity and progression while painting a new picture. of our shared reality but it was not just the visual arts that were experiencing such a change the 50s had brought us the classics the 60s and 70s had brought us the popular and funky times and the 80s had brought us to the party even the Rebel groups of the past had always had that showbiz attitude, the shine of fame and success, how unattainable it was until 1991, when a group called Nirvana would start the grunge era.

In September of that year, Nirvana launched into the super stardom with the release of his seminal album, Nevermind. However, these guys weren't exactly your typical superstars, the band formed in Aberdeen, Washington, a place where the American dream had practically gone and died and their music resonated with the sound of their frustration, their lyrics didn't paint pretty pictures. or, sometimes, it even makes sense that their sound was crafted through thick layers of distortion. Their music is a catharsis, a middle finger to the party pop of the 80s and would resonate, opening the door to an alternative era that would consume the 90s.

Many styles of underground music would find success in this new one. alternative space almost everyone seemed to share the same feelings of resentment as nirvana, a more depressed and emotional tone was spreading through the mainstream and people were eating it up, however not everything was so depressed, electronic music was coming out of the 80s and settling down. In a new way, '90s techno music was definitely a party, but I'd say it was wrapped in the same sloppy feelings as the grunge scene. Young people from all over the world gathered in small dark clubs taking drugs and dancing to the pneumatic rhythm of the music.

Future bands like Prodigy 9-inch Nails and km FDM were breaking the surface of mainstream music at the same time as rock bands like Rage Against the Machine were bringing a new level of political resentment to the medium they weren't trying to convince. of their ideas through the flower power approach of the 60s they were trying to smash your concepts against the wall, right or wrong, they were succeeding the shows were about, you know, creating a dialogue and questioning, I felt it was possible to create through of the music. You know, direct political action meanwhile the alternative era was curiously juxtaposed with the era of boy bands and pop celebrity groups perfectly constructed for mainstream appeal a reduction in creativity and originality to the point that these groups they would not represent reality and all the problems. that came with this because they themselves were not real, they were essentially a simulation, so in the middle of the 20th century the world was at war for the second time and just as thedissolution of the first world war had brought modernism, this war would bring about the postmodern to keep things basic modernism was a movement of thought that moved away from many traditional practices such as realism and enlightenment thought, while modern work as surrealism was an abstraction from traditional methods and still relied on a structured system of social realities that included dominant tastes and talents, postmodernism, on the other hand, would reject any premise of attractiveness of talent or even reliable knowledge my name is andy warhol and I just finished eating a hamburger postmodern thinkers saw the world as a collection of social constructs and discarded all traditional methods to create what they would call art in the postmodern vision, even the banality of a toilet could be considered a great work, whether Whether Mr.

Mutt made the fountain with his own hands or not is of no importance, he chose it, he took an ordinary article of life. he placed it so that its useful meaning disappeared under the new title and point of view created a new thought for that object. Postmodern thought really gained momentum in the 1980s and in 1981 the philosopher Jean Baldriard published a book called Simulacra and Simulation, Baldriard was here. he introduced the concept of hyperreality. Hyperreality is a state in which reality has been simulated so many times that the culmination of the simulation fails to relate to the base reality in any way.

If that sounds confusing, then let's take a picture of a model, for example, you see her on the cover of a magazine or on some social media site, she is incredibly beautiful, seemingly perfect, you wonder how can someone be so beautiful but what really You should ask yourself if what you are seeing is really sure that the model exists, is a real person, but you have not seen her in her true form when you receive the photo, it is likely that she has suffered a lot. some modifications, all the corrections made to simulate a perfection that could not exist otherwise and although the photo is not completely real, you see it as if it were, you take that image in your mind and develop an expectation from it and in this.

Like so many things, you have consumed simulacra and are now operating within a hyperreality, whether or not you agree with postmodern philosophy. I think this concept is hard to deny and it seems that the more technically advanced society becomes, the more hyperactive it becomes. the real thing is built the internet was born out of paranoia in the 1960s concerns with russia were becoming serious and with the location of nuclear weapons in cuba the united states realized that their communication methods were quickly becoming obsolete this urgent transformation of Cuba into an important strategic base by The presence of these large, long-range and clearly offensive weapons of sudden mass destruction constitutes an explicit threat to the peace and security of all the Americas at that time.

Information sharing depended on a centralized network which meant that in the event of a nuclear attack communications could be disrupted across the country. The telephone system had an Achilles heel and still does. If the connection path between the phones is interrupted. The call is lost. A new system was needed and thus arpanet was formed. Arpanet was a network for exchanging information packets. they would be split into packets which could then be routed through a system of nodes, all packets could take different routes and still end up at the same location this way, if a node were destroyed information could still flow around it, eventually arpanet could to communicate with other networks that had formed giving rise to the modern concept of the internet tonight the information superhighway and one of its main roads an online network called the internet over the years this technology would improve and computers began to become popular through companies like Apple and figures like Steve Jobs.

Still, the Internet was used simply for sending emails and sharing files, not to mention that it was extremely difficult to navigate, only true computer wizards could investigate any information stored on it. Internet, however, that would soon change in 1989, a physicist named Tim Berner Lee. invented hypertext links or simply links as we know them today this allowed users to click on links that would direct them between different topics this innovation would become known as the world wide web and in 1991 it became available to the general public, but in 1992 there were still only 50 web pages on the Internet The World Wide Web had made the Internet more accessible, but it was not what one would consider easy to use.

A year later, Mark Anderson invented navigation software that allowed you to search through an easy-to-use graphical interface in the application. it was called netscape and when it hit the market the internet grew by 341,000 people throughout the 1990s the popularity of the internet continued to grow well it's very trendy to be on the internet right now people all over the world are They were connecting and sharing their unique interests. with others in ways they had never thought possible and could never imagine where it was going or what it would become. The Internet was a revolution, but it would not be without fears.

It is 2 in the morning on January 1, 2000. The power is gone. black, you need light, if you planned ahead you will have one of these, just wind it up, you will have light and communication, call now and get the best survival kit for the year 2000. It is fitting, if a little ironic, that this same stroke of midnight It will be a clear and clear test of whether we have prepared ourselves for the challenges of the information age. Computers were an innovation of the 20th century and before the year 2000 most computer programs abbreviated dates; For example, a computer would recognize 84 as 1984.

As the millennium approached, this was becoming a cause for concern as no one was sure if computers would be able to process zero zero as in the year 2000. This could be a major problem because slowly but surely, computers and their programs had become an integral part of our lives even. Although most people still did not own a computer, their lives depended on it. government records, bank information, even huge power plants were at risk of collapsing at the stroke of midnight on January 1, 2000. There were many people who warned about this throughout the year. In the 90s, you wouldn't want to be on a plane, you wouldn't want to be in an elevator and you wouldn't want to be in a hospital, some even worried that the date 9999 would cause a crash in many systems like a series of nines.

Early programmers often used it to indicate the end of a program, but by the final months of 1999, panic had hit stores and people fearing a crash were buying all kinds of supplies in preparation for a complete crash. you know we're just regular people you know we're a little worried and we're not going to depend on someone else to take care of us if something happens, luckily the clock struck midnight and everything was fine, some credit to the massive efforts to update software, while others like to keep, there was never anything to worry about in the first place, but one thing was for sure, somehow our lives had become attached to computers and the Internet to a level that no one saw coming and that Attachment would unite us even more.

In a way no one would have predicted, in the early '90s, two brothers dropped out of college and started a small construction business. They were Andy and Larry Wachowski, and as they worked under the sinks, a vision was forming in their minds. Matrix It is difficult to provide a detailed history of the Wachowskis before their success in Hollywood, as the couple has made keeping their private life a priority, even going so far as to write a no press clause into their contracts for the Matrix films, as if they were real boys. and there's none of that, that kind of Hollywood stuff is not evident at all, you know they're from Chicago, you know, they wear shorts, they wear baseball heads, they watch basketball games, they love movies, however, with some sources from which we can draw conclusions. a rough idea of ​​how the two brothers ended up making one of the most iconic movies of all time, larry and andy were, by all accounts, pop culture enthusiasts, attending almost every movie released, avid fans of the comics enjoyed a lot of anime and even managed to study philosophy in their free time, they really understand the philosophy of all types of philosophy, Eastern philosophy, you know, European philosophy, so naturally it wasn't long before they stopped their tools and picked up their pens in 1993, they landed.

A job writing for a comic book series called Ectokid is said to have expounded on many of the same ideas we would later find in The Matrix. Working on Ectokid gave the Wachowskis some credibility in the writing world and it wasn't just comic book stories they were developing the pair also had a few scripts in their back pocket in '94 they sold a script called Assassins the script became a Stallone's film directed by Richard Donner, unfortunately the version of his script that hit the big screen in '95 had been completely rewritten under Donner's supervision. The Wachowskis were not impressed, in fact, they were offended and tried to have their names removed from the film, in the end they were not successful.

This was a turning point for the brothers, as they realized that being writers in Hollywood left them. their vision in the hands of others to destroy it they decided that from this moment on they would need to direct it was at that moment when they released The Matrix for the first time. The studio was impressed with the script, but was wary of young children demanding to direct such an ambitious film. big budget movie they said look we have this trilogy um I said well let's try to figure out a movie guys it would be cool to have three but let's try the one they said we wanted to direct and at that point I said look.

You know, I don't know, it's going to be hard enough for me to explain to people what we're going to try to do here now to try to sell them as first-time directors at this scale and with this kind of complexity. you're asking too much of me i really don't know how to tell you first the wachowskis needed to prove themselves luckily the matrix wasn't the only script the wachowskis had ready they had also written a movie called tied up caper movie that would follow two women who They come up with a plan to rob one of the girl's boyfriends, who turns out to be a mafia boss.

The script could be shot on a low budget and was therefore given the green light and the Wachowskis now had a chance. to show off their skills as first-time directors and to put it bluntly, They Certainly Had Limited Skills released in 1996 and received critical acclaim for its smart writing, stylish editing, and an incredibly tense third act that is pure scary, funny, sexy, scary cinematography. , absolutely true if you haven't seen Bound, I highly recommend it as you can feel that the ambition of those making it has shown the studios that the Wachowskis were skilled as filmmakers, but they were still worried that The Matrix would be such a confusing story with a huge budget I thought that, as a script, the first 40 or 50 pages were the best 40 or 50 pages I had ever read and then I got very confused, so they asked the Wachowskis to put together a storyboard of the movie and, wow , they did it. that and after spending an hour with them going over the storyboards I totally understood why anyone would trust them, enough had finally been proven, the studios trusted the young filmmakers and The Matrix went into production, so if you were alive in 1999 , then you certainly remember it.

The release of The Matrix, even if you didn't go out to see the film yourself, you probably felt the ripples of its impact Nigel a Runner Null Pointer Runner Agent Stevens Simon Freeman 713 I'm a Sentinel was truly a film the likes of which audiences had never seen. , leaving many people confused after first seeing the story followed by neo, a cubicle clerk by day, hacker by night, neo is obsessed with the matrix, which we can assume is a phrase he has encountered in his life as hacker, but remains oblivious. He also through a series of events comes into contact with a mysterious group who gives him the opportunity to see the matrix for himself.

It turns out that there has been living in the matrix all along a computer program created to simulate the everyday life of the world as it was in the late 20th century, now existing only as part of an interactive neural simulation we call the matrix, while all the that are connected are used as energy for themachines. Neo discovers that he is part of a prophecy that would claim that he is the one. who will save the human race, I will not lie to you, every man or woman who stood firm, everyone who fought against an agent, died, but where they failed, you will triumph through many doubts, trials and tribulations, it seems that the prophecy is true and neo is the one since his abilities within the matrix are different than anyone else, he is the one at the end of the movie, neo has basically become superman and destroyed parts of the program that were previously thought to be They were indestructible, it finally seems that humans now have a fighting chance.

What really made The Matrix a cultural phenomenon was its ability to integrate all the bubbling tensions and inspirations of the '80s and '90s and wrap them into a conventional package in The Matrix Neo, which follows the classic archetype of the dating hero's journey. Let's go back to the beginning of the narrative because there is a certain typical sequence of hero actions that can be detected in stories from all over the world and from many periods of history, so the matrix structure is nothing revolutionary, but it is that familiarity. This allows the audience to be comfortably guided to the deeper meanings of the film The pacing is also a great benefit to the film The mythology sprinkled in between tense action Gun explosions Kung fu fight scenes The film has it all and packs it heavy If The Matrix had only been established, although it turned out to be another action movie, it still would have been a huge success.

Fortunately, the Wachowskis were looking to do something different and this is where the film collides with all the topics we've covered up to this point, the musical philosophy of cyberpunk anime and the fears of the real world. All technologies found their home in the Matrix. The film is a Cyberpunk story through and through, where the reckless advancement of AI has pushed humans to the bottom of the food chain. The Matrix actually manages to go beyond what we've seen in previous Cyberpunk stories. In this version, the gigantic megacities the genre is known for have already fallen. What's interesting about the whole idea of ​​cyberpunk is that it's a great way to create a sense of alienation and disconnection and alternate worlds trapped in a kind of almost dream. conscious states, the matrix also seems to play like an anime movie.

Just by looking at the storyboard of the movie, you might be confused into thinking that you just opened a manga. Those concepts were realized in stunning detail while I was shooting the picture. I think it was the Wachowski's love of comics and anime that cultivated his ability to write action movies that had a brain just like Akira and Ghost in the Shell had shown before and if there is any doubt that anime had a big influence on The Matrix, so I'll point out the animatrix a literal collection of anime shorts produced to flesh out the world of The Matrix and of course the music from The Matrix is ​​heavily in the alternate scene.

The nightclubs and outfits resemble the industrial movement that was spreading. The underground of places like Chicago where the Wachowskis were from. This did more than just provide an aesthetic for the film, The Matrix also had the same attitude as the alternative era. Wachowskis were largely inspired by the anger against the machine they saw that the anger was successfully pushing ideas through entertainment and it was working, they were conveying their message to mainstream America, the philosophy of the film was also deeply rooted in bringing postmodern ideas of hyperreality to a big-budget action movie and not hiding its inspirations in the process that would make The Matrix.

Also call us to question our own free will. Do you believe in destiny? Yes, no, why not? Because I don't like the idea that I don't have control of my life in a world of simulations. Are you really free or has your life been like this? determined and, of course, the Internet and computers were staples of the film, bringing a new level of freshness to what was considered nerdy at the time while also reminding audiences that computing had entered our lives at a rapid pace. unprecedentedly, just as we ourselves realized how much he relied on them, The Matrix had successfully captured the zeitgeist of its time in a way that it's hard to think of a film that has ultimately done better;

However, the second and third films were not reviewed as well and while I can say that I am certainly a fan, the films failed to strike the right balance, while the first film had hinted at so many interesting themes that the sequels embodied them by complete and in the process lost their mainstream appeal, yet the first Matrix film goes down in history as one of the all-time greats that won multiple Academy Awards and were even selected for preservation by the National Film Registry. Since 1999, society at large has been unable to escape the influence of The Matrix and in some ways the film seems to have been a precursor to Many things we see happening in today's society it has been over 20 years since The Matrix arrived. to the big screen and yet the film only seems to gain relevance.

The themes of The Matrix are now becoming the themes of our lives. Look around you and see for yourself. Technology companies like Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon have completely dominated the market by creating monopolies in commerce, entertainment, information, technology CEOs are now the richest people on the planet and these companies are rapidly becoming more powerful than governments. The version of Facebook that exists today is destroying our societies. apart and causing ethnic violence around the world ethnic violence, including Myanmar, in 2018, when the military used Facebook to launch a genocide while collecting your data and selling it so they could more easily manipulate and market it so they know when people are feeling alone They know when people are depressed They know when people look at pictures of your romantic exes They know what you do late at night They know the whole thing At some point you've become the product It's not slowing down either Artificial intelligence seems to be in the horizon, who knows what the implications of such power are.

It could especially be developed alongside today's aggressive sales-oriented algorithms, like, for example, what if AI treated us the same way we treat less intelligent animals while anime has skyrocketed? In the mainstream, influencing all manner of art films, music, and video games. At the time of The Matrix's release, anime was still a very underground and intensely nerdy form of entertainment, at least in the Western world, ideas that the anime is able to push through its medium they have certainly been able to affect the younger generations and I can't help but notice that many anime fans tend to be very politically aware.

The anime originated in Japan and it is worth noting that many of the relevant themes we are discussing come from Japan's own history. a country hit with nuclear weapons understands the danger of technical advancement this awareness is felt through their art the music that surrounded the millennium is often seen as the last great era and that doesn't matter the genre, the internet changed music forever through websites like napster and limewire Nowadays, facing the big record companies with all the new technology, it is also very easy to make music and although there may be many more artists releasing songs, the quality has certainly decreased, I think It is due to both the oversaturation of artists and the consumer's capacity for easily pirated music that has led us down a path of reduced creativity.

There is a homogeneous aspect to today's popular artists and the alternative scene and its rather authenticity are gone. It seems like the boy band/pop singer approach of the late '90s is the method that has continued, whatever has sold well is what they're going for. The Matrix philosophy has also become undeniable. Most people these days have two personas, the real one and the simulated version, how else can you see social media as a place where you exaggerate? the best parts of you where you select the images with the best angles and share the phrases you want people to associate you with.

Does anyone really have an honest social media account? However, we interact within that world that is hyperreality if it is all true and the implications are rarely questioned. Almost all of this has been revealed through the unprecedented growth of the Internet. Computers are no longer at home collecting dust. Now they are in our pockets, tracking our movements and recording all our searches. They are collecting your thumbprints and being tuned. to your voice learn how to communicate with you how to recognize your face when you say it out loud like that it sounds like science fiction but we all know it is today's reality eventually with all that data and the pace at which technology advances you could start to Imagine how it could be simulate now everyday life of the 21st century, maybe that will never happen or maybe it's just a matter of time, but one thing is for sure, it will be possible in the end, The Matrix was a movie of truths, whether they seemed relevant at the time. in the moment or not, we can see them now, so here's the part where I give you my philosophy on this whole thing.

I believe the hive mind of humanity is unconsciously but consistently working into the future. We do this not only through mathematics and science, engineering and computing, but through art it is what captures our attention, the truth that is thrown into the zeitgeist that slowly bubbles beneath the surface until the masses They embrace it and when we see it it is not just entertainment, it is something fundamental, it points in a direction that we all know we know. re heading and without needing to say a word, we can all agree on it in our own way, the matrix tells a real story rather than being constructed by a team of executives trying to come up with the next big thing that was created by two people that they were simply plugged into the world around them, so what is the answer to the question?

It's the question that brought you here: what made The Matrix so special and how does it manage to remain relevant all these years later to return to the place where it all began. to the matrix, like all fundamental truths, the answer has been here all along to make any work of art relevant and lasting, you must enter the zeitgeist.
