The Matrix
The Matrix was possibly my favorite movie from this intersession. I felt like I understood this movie a lot better than the others. It uses the concept of "mind over matter" a lot, which made a lot of sense to me. It also clearly leads back to the question of what makes us human. The Agent Smiths clearly did not see any room for compromise, which is very computerlike in nature. Furthermore, Neo was able to tap into godlike power just by using his mind and convincing himself that he could bend the laws of physics, essentially destroying the laws of physics. This was a very interesting concept for the movie, and was interesting to discuss. This was a great movie to end the intersession with.

ReplyDeleteNice post Mike. Your comment about the agent reveals the computer nature of the agents.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the movie as well, it's interesting to see scifi movies that are plausible and raises questions about what's real and what isn't now.
