The elements that we see in of Jesus story and the matrix would be when Neo died and was born again in the beginning of the movie when Neo went down the tube and was pulled of the cables. Also when Neo died and was reborn by a kiss by trinity. Also when Neo died he died and fell in a way where it was symbolic way when Jesus died on the cross and blood would be on the wall coming down as Jesus would have blood coming down when he nailed down. Some comparisons between Socrates and Neo main comparisons from Irwin’s would be that both Neo and Socrates would both doubt themselves at times. In the Matrix the movie Neo would doubt himself when he was told he was the one. Also they both would spread the word around. Chaeraphon would be the teller and Socrates would be the person to spread it. Morpheus would be Chaeraphon and Neo would be the one to spread the idea’s that he would be the person to change the world and him being the one.
The Allegory of the Cave is about how people were chained since they were born and had to watch shadows since the only way they could face was the wall. The shadows were made by a fire that was placed behind them and then there was bridge behind too and people with all sorts of animals and objects would pass by and the only thing that the chained people can see was the shadows thinking it was reality. When one would be dragged out to the real world the person would think it’s not believable in where he was. The person would come back to tell the other people in the cave but the people still chained would think he had went crazy.
The Allegory of the Cave comparison to the Matrix is very similar. The Matrix was a world made up to believe that it was real. It would indeed be fake it would all be a dream or an illusion. In the cave it would be a way the people were chained and saw shadows thinking it was reality in what they saw. Once a chained person was let out they would see what reality was and would have to think if it was all a dream. In the Matrix every person in it would be actually be sleeping and yet have not been awoken.
In some ways the Matrix can be a commentary on film-making would be how it got its ideas for the movie from philosophers and was able to come up with a story line for the movie. It could be another way of telling the story of a certain topic. It’s also gets great majorities of its information through visual media in a way were it would be seen and not read. It would grab the attention of people knowing that its turn into a visual way of seeing it. Media’s creates a culture in a way were they would be able to adapt to the way of seeing things more clearly. The information is passed through visual media and is able to interpret the information into a more exciting way of seeing it and would also see connection between it.
