Prologue of The Matrix

The "The Matrix" series is the best science fiction series I have ever seen. The stories it tells deeply influenced the Three Views. Today, let me talk about one of its core contents: whether this world is real.

In "The Matrix 1" there is a kid who can bend the spoon with his mind. He said to Neo: "Don't try to bend the spoon. This is impossible. On the contrary, try to find the truth. The spoon does not exist." So Neo did what the child said, and he turned the spoon into a bend through his mind. Those who have studied philosophy must know that what a child is talking about is idealism. In fact, "The Matrix 1" mainly explores whether this world is real. It tells that people nowadays live in the illusory world of idealism, but the world that Neo reaches after escaping is the real world of materialism. The story of the human resistance organization starting to fight against robots in order to save humans.
I don't know if this world is real, but if it is not real, will my life change?
When watching the movie "Desire", there was a very touching moment. Towards the end, Kanako said: "Because everything is a dream, you can love and kill boldly. If you think this way, you will become very brave." If the world is not real, you will become Are you brave like Kanako? Probably not, because if there is no time travel, there is only one chance to play the game.

What is the meaning of living if you have what you want and have experienced the person you want to experience? Assuming you are going to die tomorrow, what do you want to do most now?
I think if I die tomorrow, I will do something for the people I love.
Probably because of this concern, those who already have what they want and have experienced what they want to experience will continue to live. At the end of 2013, it was rumored to be the end of the world. At that time, I wish the world would end like this. But now is September 2014, you are alive, I am alive, and life is still going on. For you who will be reading this article many years later, all this is just a prologue.

    It was a vicissitudes of life: back then Keanu Reeves was still thin and tender, the Wachowski brothers and sisters were the Wachowski brothers, and Nokia was still the industry leader.

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.
