It’s the first time I brushed the Matrix. Everywhere I looked, it was the male protagonist Neo. See how he got rid of the control of Matrix, how to rescue Morpheus, how to reap Trinity’s love, how to become the savior, how to defeat the robot army to save reality Human beings are in dire straits... But the Matrix did not become great because of this, but because of the implied success of the wonderful struggle between the two factions.
Movie story background
In the human-machine war, humans are at a disadvantage, but humans cover the sun to cut off the robot's energy source-solar energy. As a result, robots keep humans in captivity, connect human thoughts to Matrix, and use human biomass energy as energy.
Some humans on Matrix discovered some strange phenomena, got rid of Matrix, confronted robots, and lived in Zion City.
Simple character introduction:
Neo's sixth-generation savior. After becoming the savior, it becomes a super bug in the mother body, a combination of humans and programs.
Morpheus Captain of the spaceship. Identify Neo as the savior of mankind and rescue Neo
The agents in Smith Matrix are similar to anti-virus software. After having an independent consciousness, they are afraid of being deleted after completing their mission, and want to return to the real mechanical world. Later became Neo’s old enemy
Trinity The prophet predicted that she would fall in love with the Savior. After Neo was killed by Smith, Trinity rescued Neo with a kiss. This kiss became the key to activating the savior.
The old-fashioned nobleman in the Merovingian mother body. The host body has been deleted or has problems with the program, feeding a group of thugs, and wanting to make a revolutionary restoration. His thugs contributed wonderful action scenes to the movie.
The maker of Architect Matrix, maintains the balance of Matrix
The maintainer of The oracle Matrix wants to achieve the goal of the robot's ultimate evolution
The master of the robot army. Let Smith and Neo launch the most exciting epic battle. On the one hand to prevent Neo from being too powerful; on the other hand to protect Matrix (Smith keeps copying himself in Matrix, Matrix is on the verge of collapse)
Deep themes-evolutions
The third part is called The matrix Revolutions. If you remove the R in Revolutions, it is evolutions. Is this a theme hidden by the director?
Through simple analysis, we can know that in fact, the robot made Matrix is not to obtain human biomass energy, and it is not like Morpheus and the human rebels seem to think that robots will not use the earth’s geothermal energy, nuclear energy ? On the contrary, robots are for the advanced goal of civilization: evolution. Robots do not want to enslave humans and obtain the idea of biomass energy. They put humans into Matrix to steal our divergent thinking and our innovative creativity. Because the inherent shortcomings of our human beings create uncertainty, and this uncertainty is the origin of evolution. However, evolution has no direction and is full of uncertainty. It is difficult for you to determine what a "plan" will evolve and what will not evolve. Only in the disorderly life of human beings can new creations be made. What a machine is good at is efficiency and rules. Without humans, its own evolution or technology will soon reach its peak or lock up. Therefore, the machine chose to maintain the survival of human beings and control the human spirit.
Two factions
In order to achieve the goal of evolution in the theme, the robot has produced two factions.
Rationalist (architect): Use scientific and mathematical formulas to create balance and maintain controllable uncertainty
The architect is the designer of the matrix Matrix. The first-generation Matrix designed is a perfect world, similar to the Western Paradise, but it has failed. At this time, he realized that human beings are an imperfect creature, and instead of needing a perfect world.
The second-generation Matrix was designed not to be a perfect world, so there were BUGs. When the anti-virus program in the system does not apply when there are too many BUGs, the system still crashes of course.
In the third generation of Matrix, the architect asked the bugs to gather in Zion and concentrated on destroying them at the right time. The emergence of the savior, the birth of the head of the BUG group, is the time to be cleared. Architects need the savior to integrate the BUG into the source code of the mainframe. At the same time, the army of machines eliminates the BUG, completes the restart of the system, and the purification system opens a new cycle. The human spirit will not collapse as before. Attention here is to complete purification and not to evolve.
Perceptual School (Prophet): Creating uncertainty is essentially a super program of exploring human psychology
In the balance of previous generations of Matrix, the uncertainty created by the prophet was within the controllable range of the architect. But this model doesn't work anymore, because restarting is not an upgrade, and it cannot achieve the purpose of upgrading and evolving the machine. In order to achieve the purpose of upgrading, the Prophet created the element of "love" in Neon and inspired Neo to become stronger. In order to balance Neo's ability to prevent him from ruining the Matrix, she also created Smith, who was powerful with Neo's ability.
The fight between the two factions
The Prophet used her philosophical language to establish a great influence among real human beings, and influence among the masses is the core of a successful politician. In the game with the architect, the Prophet made perfect use of the ability possessed as the mother of Matrix, making Trinity fall in love with Neo, Morpheus believed that Neo was the savior, Neo gained further powerful abilities and so on. The struggle between the perceptual and the rational is essentially a political power struggle. Those who win can get the power to realize the plan in their own way, while those who lose have to stand aside. In the movie, Neo is already the sixth-generation savior. It can be inferred that the architect had some advantages in the previous struggle. The struggle between these two factions is like a contest between Deng Xiaoping and Hua Guofeng. Hua Guofeng is the successor appointed by Chairman Mao, but Deng Xiaoping seems to be more sophisticated and wise and knows how to reach the masses to gain popular support. In the end, Hua Guofeng stepped aside and Deng Xiaoping was able to change the face of China in his own way. The contest between these two people is highly consistent with the struggle between the perceptual and the rational. This is not a struggle between winners and losers. It just depends on whose method is more appropriate. In this conflict, it is the Matrix and Deng that spiral progress. The highlights of the Hua contest.
In the struggle between these two factions, we can be surprised to find how high the wisdom of the robot civilization has reached. They seem to have completed a highly efficient and rule-abiding transformation, able to analyze problems in a simple way, use the human heart, and manipulate the Matrix program. The ending of the movie is that Neo and Smith die together. Both forces have been checked and balanced. The Prophet’s gamble succeeded, and the mother body completed a revolutionary upgrade. There are a lot of thoughts left from this movie. How far will the robot civilization evolve? Will he move towards getting rid of humans one day? Where is the bottom line of mankind? Perhaps we should re-examine the human situation.
