Nothing outside of mind

I saw it in the cinema a few years ago when I was in middle school, and it was shocking. Now I am a senior and I have the ability to watch English subtitles, so I revisited it again. Still shocked. I also thought of a few questions, and had my own thoughts, and some Doubts about the setting of the film:
1. Robots obtain energy by herding humans, but where does the energy of humans come from? Did not say clearly. The film should best explain the problem of the nutrient solution that is fed to humans. It is impossible for a dead person's body fluid to feed the same number of living people. There is a problem of energy loss and entropy increase. There will be fewer and fewer living people that can be supported. The film does not explain this problem enough.
2. Where are the animals in the human world? Are the animals that humans feel in the Matrix only exist in the Matrix? The code in (similar to electronic pets), or does it have a projection in the Machine world at the same time as humans? Of course, this leads to another question, why not use other large animals as fuel cells, which are easier to manage than humans (because Low IQ), easy to breed (such as pigs), and strong (such as leopards, elephants, whales). There are many advantages. Even if it can't completely replace human batteries, at least it can be a very important supplement.
3. Savior and ordinary people The difference is that he doesn't ask How, doesn't ask Why, he only goes to Believe. The crew member called Little Mouse was swept by guns in Matrix, and his Mind thought he was dead, so his entity also vomited blood and died. and last film, Neo was also hit, but he did not believe (he looked at the bullet holes in his face does not believe the way), so even if they are playing for a shuttle bullets did not spit blood, just a bit of shock.
thought of Buick’s commercial song is very good. If someone asks why Neo can fly and fly like Superman, I think the simplest explanation must be the commercial song: "He belive he can fly"
4. I sighed when I saw many comments about existentialism, Beckett, and modern psychology. In fact, the idea of ​​idealism originated in our motherland. Don’t you see, it was written in the "Zhuangzi" dream of Zhuangzi which was written in hundreds of BC Butterfly paragraph: "... I don't know that Zhou's dream is Hu Die and Hu Die's dream is Zhou Yu? Zhou and Hu Die must be different. This is called materialization." Unfortunately, there was no photography technique such as bullet time at that time. , Or you can make a movie of "Butterfly Empire". Zhuangzi always loves to meditate in the cave with his eyes closed. It is estimated that he is actually secretly connecting to a different dimension to experience life. Fly around like Neo in order to get around.
Zhuangzi is indeed far away from us, but Wang Yangming is also closer. That was the Ming Dynasty, in the 16th century AD, and it was hundreds of years earlier than the Laochezi existentialism that was born in the early 20th century. Well, you hear how simple and clear is "Nothing outside of the heart". The Chinese are smart and explain it so concisely. Look at Captain Morpheus, it took so much effort to make Neo understand what Matrix is. That long-winded awkwardness is really impressive. Worry. You see, there are at least two awakened people in Chinese history who are known to women and children, and the whole world can testify. That is written in black and white in other books. Those who are not known to women and children do not know how many. Still. Technical conditions are limited, and the film "Outside the Heart" was not made. It's a pity, it's a pity (2012 revision. Thanks for the comment)

    The illusion is always a fatal blow to people, even if there is beauty in the illusion, because people begin to pursue a kind of truth and meaning as soon as they have cognition. This is why Westerners can never get rid of the imagination of the savior, whether it is the Middle Ages or the electronic age. Perhaps this is the only kind of proposition worth thinking about in life. The Matrix actually borrowed a sci-fi shell, and its imagination of the relationship between man and machine is essentially full of Christian apocalypse and philosophical speculation. Morpheus is the "Dream", Neo is the "New", and Trinity is the "Trinity."

    The world view is very grand, the logic is very meticulous, the plot is very compact, and Keanu Reeves's look is very handsome. When Wachowski was still a brother, his level was very high.

The Matrix quotes

  • Morpheus: Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.

  • Morpheus: The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

    [Neo's eyes suddenly wander towards a woman in a red dress]

    Morpheus: Were you listening to me, Neo? Or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?

    Neo: I was...

    Morpheus: [gestures with one hand] Look again.

    [the woman in the red dress is now Agent Smith, pointing a gun at Neo's head; Neo ducks]

    Morpheus: Freeze it.

    [Everybody and everything besides Neo and Morpheus freezes in time]

    Neo: This... this isn't the Matrix?

    Morpheus: No. It is another training program designed to teach you one thing: if you are not one of us, you are one of them.
