Neo throughout the entire film has always been searching for answers, even through the end asking, “is he really the one”? The Matrix is centered on a program that is sort of a dream world, basically like a real life Sim’s. Neo, before he is introduced to the Matrix is always having nightmares, or so he thinks. Although he doesn’t know it, this is Neo’s first introduction to the Matrix. He believes that the integration was a nightmare. Trinity, who is introduced later in the film, removes the bug that the agents put inside of him. Neo truly did not realize that there was a bug in his stomach, and believed it was a nightmare. Neo throughout the film not only changes physically, by learning all forms of fighting techniques, but he also changes …show more content…
We don’t know what Neo is searching for yet, but we are offered some clue when the phone rings, and a man tells him what to do. The person on the end of the line offers him some truth, and tells him to follow the white rabbit, which ends up being a tattoo on one of his customer’s girlfriend’s shoulder. The group ends up going to a club, and he meets a girl named Trinity. When Trinity first talks to Neo she leans in really close to his face and whispers, from this scene we can clearly see some sort of sexual interaction going on, that might lead up somewhere in the end of the film. The night passes by and we are brought to a scene that Neo is being yelled at for coming to work late, it clearly seemed like Neo has been through this a few times, and really doesn’t respect authority. When Neo goes back to his desk, his phone rings, and Morpheus tells Neo to run and get out while he can. Neo does not know it yet, but agents from outside the matrix are there to take him in. After being told to climb the lift on the side of the building, Neo turns himself in, and is brought into an integration room. At this point, from the way he responds to the agents we clearly see he has a probably with authority, and this is the first time we truly see the Matrix. When Neo asked for his phone call, and since he wasn’t cooperating the agents blended …show more content…
Neo is faced with a problem on the roof when the agents pull a gun on him. Neo starts believing in himself more, and he starts to dodge the bullets. After saving Morpheus from the agents, and Trinity from the helicopter, they look for a way out of the matrix. When they go to leave the matrix Trinity and Morpheus teleport out, and accidently leave Neo alone with an agent. This is when Neo truly starts to believe in himself, and can fight the Agent. Neo ends up defeating the Agent, and runs to a new phone to teleport out with. Towards the end of the chase Neo is corned by three agents and chooses to stop running, and fight. After he is cornered, Neo is shot multiple times by the agents, and almost dies. When Trinity sees Neo start to fade she kisses him and when he wakes up and can see binary. This is when Neo fully believes in himself and unlocks his true potential; when the agents see Neo get up they unload their magazines at him, but to no avail. Neo is now too powerful to stop and can fully block their bullets, and kills the main
Anyone can teach others from leading by example. Showing others what you can accomplish establishes confidence in others to try out their own dreams, wishes, and goals. A great example of leading by example is Gus, Clark, and Richie in the movie The Benchwarmers. These men meet Nelson, a stereotypical nerd that is bullied by baseball jocks every day just because he wants to play with them. This little boy inspires the men to show others that everyone should have the same opportunity to play baseball, no matter the skill level.
He knows that one of them must die, and the Oracle has told him that it will be up to him which one it is. Therefore, when he enters the Matrix he makes that choice, and knowingly goes to sacrifice himself for the sake of mankind. However, it is now that he is starting to believe in himself, and he also believes that he can bring Morpheus back. It is at this point that he starts to transcend into the romantic hero, he starts to believe in himself and to realise the truth. He sheds his old identity, Thomas Anderson and embraces his new one with the famous "My name is Neo."
Is he the one? Is Neo, played by Keanu Reeves, the savior? Could he be
In the movie, The Matrix there are many similarities with the book, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? One similarity is that of the matrices in both works. The movie has a matrix of dreams. According to the movie, humans are dreaming. Dreaming means that the reality humans think of, is not reality. The reality humans think of, is a dream. Confusing, isn t? An easier way of understanding this matrix is to think of human dreams. When humans experience dreams, it is not perceived as a dream until the dream ends. The movie exemplifies humans in the dream state of mind, similar to the dreaming stage. Neo is exposed to his real matrix. The matrix outside of his perceptual reality. He is able to perform with an incredible flexibility and high speed thinking. He is no longer dreaming, or as Neo called it, living. Neo has waken up. The book shares this matrix as well.
Saw is a American horror film directed by James Wan. The film is about a killer who calls himself the Jigsaw. He kills and/or “teaches” his victims to respect life. He watches his victims and then abducts them when learning their problems in life.
The Matrix is considered by many people to be a cyberpunk triumph. Declan McCullagh from wired.com writes: "When Neo/Reeves wakes up from his VR slumber and unplugs from The Matrix, he joins a ragtag band of rebels led by the charismatic Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne). Their plan: To overthrow the artificial intelligences that have robbed humanity of reality" (McCullagh). Entertainment weekly also sees The Matrix as a movie about rebellion against oppression: "Neo is, of course, The One, the prophesied leader of the oppressed who will lead the people of Zion (an underground city populated by the last free humans) from bondage--but only if he can believe in himself and trust in the power of love" (Bernadin).
The protagonist Thomas Anderson in the series is one of billions of humans connected to the Matrix, he is a quiet programmer for the "respectable software company" Metacortex. Thomas Anderson is the character in the movie whose later alias becomes “Neo”. Which an anagram for “the one” a name that is most profound parallel to the Bible. Coincidence I think not. Neo is the Christ-figure in The Matrix who is sent to liberate men from their fallen and enslaved state Zion that is the last human city on earth, paralleling the Zion of the Bible. Morpheus and other believers herald him as the “One.” Neo or Christ sets humans free from the matrix or sin as agent Smith who in terms is Satan. Neo has a resurrection scene at the end of the first installment of The Matrix. In this scene Smith kills him, and his coming back to life serves as a testament to his power, and sets the stage for Neo’s final sacrifice at the end of the third movie. It is the scene at the end of the trilogy when Neo makes his Christ-like death. After this sacrifice, Neo is lifted into the sky, the same way one might describe Christ’s resurrection. Neo's performance was so good that famous hollywood director Quienten
...e point when Neo realizes that the spoon does not exist, he does not fully grasp that he does exist. Just as Descartes’s doubt about his own existence leads him to find proof of his existence, so, too, Neo’s ability to live despite dying in The Matrix leads him to understand that the rules in The Matrix can be broken. He becomes aware of his existence and fully realizes that because The Matrix is simply a projected reality that it does not conform to the laws of the ‘real’ world outside of the Matrix.
window and jumped to the other side of the wall where the office was. Once Alex got to the window, "[He] slid the window open and hoisted himself into [the] second office” (Horowitz 35). The lady that had taken the call earlier had come back and opened the door on him, then congratulating him on his recent courageous behaviors that allowed him to become a part of the MI6. He was unaware that he had been being recruited. Again, his new dynamic characteristics show because he made a death defying jump to get into the office which he may have previously just waited on the door to be unlocked.
In the documentary “Fed Up,” sugar is responsible for Americas rising obesity rate, which is happening even with the great stress that is set on exercise and portion control for those who are overweight. Fed Up is a film directed by Stephanie Soechtig, with Executive Producers Katie Couric and Laurie David. The filmmaker’s intent is mainly to inform people of the dangers of too much sugar, but it also talks about the fat’s in our diets and the food corporation shadiness. The filmmaker wants to educate the country on the effects of a poor diet and to open eyes to the obesity catastrophe in the United States. The main debate used is that sugar is the direct matter of obesity. Overall, I don’t believe the filmmaker’s debate was successful.
The movie "Matrix" is drawn from an image created almost twenty-four hundred years ago by the greek philosopher, Plato in his work, ''Allegory of the Cave''.The Matrix is a 1999 American-Australian film written and directed by the Wachowski brothers. Plato, the creator of the Allegory of the Cave was a famous philosopher who was taught by the father of philosophy Socrates. Plato was explaining the perciption of reality from others views to his disciple Aristotle. The Matrix and the Allegory of the Cave share a simmilar relationship where both views the perciption of reality, but the Matrix is a revised modern perciption of the cave. In this comparison essay I am going to explain the similarities and deifferences that the Matrix and The Allegory of the Cave shares.In the Matrix, the main character,Neo,is trapped in a false reality created by AI (artificial intelligence), where as in Plato's Allegory of the Cave a prisoner is able to grasp the reality of the cave and the real life. One can see many similarities and differences in the film and the allegory. The most important similarity was between the film and the Allegory is the perception of reality.Another simmilarity that the movie Matrix and the Allegory of the Cave shares is that both Neo and the Freed man are prisoners to a system. The most important difference was that Neo never actually lived and experienced anything, but the freed man actually lived and experinced life.
These men, known as agents, hold Neo down and insert a metal like device into his stomach. He soon awakes at his house and is told by Morpheus that he is “the one.” When he meets with Trinity and Morpheus, Trinity removes the metal device from his stomach which shocks him because he didn’t believe that to be real. Morpheus soon offers to reveal the Matrix to Neo. He is given the option of a red pill or blue pill; the blue in which he will go home and remember nothing, red in which will allow him to see the truth.

Gladiator (2000) is an action drama about a Roman general that is betrayed by his country and is forced to fight in the Colosseum. This particular scene, which runs for approximately 5 minutes, is the aftermath of the fight scene between Maximus, the betrayed general, and Commodus, the jealous emperor who betrayed him. This scene is not only significant because it is the concluding scene of the film, but also because it represents the end of Maximus’s enslavement and his coming to peace with dying.
