1999 The Matrix has passed 10 years, and finally let me see the taste of politics from the morality of philosophy. I don't want to write this article, it's hard for me to concentrate on reviewing it. Maybe I never paid attention.
Wikipedia's Chinese version of The Matrix has very detailed scene analysis, and the hacker analysis that exists in major forums limits the scope of discussion to the battle between robots and humans.
What does the robot symbolize, and what does the domination of robots mean? Why do some people say that the continuous progress of science will only bring bad consequences, even the destruction of mankind.
Here, the meaning of the robot will be simplified. They refer to an almost perfect ruling hierarchy.
In the matrix era, the relationship between humans and
the
matrix By definition, the Matrix World is a pretty perfect ideology. Matrix highly concretizes ideology, which makes me sigh at the director's wisdom. The main function of the matrix is to supply energy to the entire robot society by absorbing the thermal energy radiated by the humans who are connected to the matrix. The first thing to be sure is that everything the matrix simulates is unreal. But it is an important means for robots to rule over human beings, and it is also the main tool for human survival. These three points are highly in line with the definition of ideology.
Let's take a closer look at the impact of ideology. If one day, there is a person with a strong sense of resistance and an independent spirit, he sees through the entire matrix is just an illusion. It was an alarm for the Matrix when he longed to break away from this fantasy. When an individual awakening occurs, it tends to bring about a collective awakening. As the only energy source for the robot, when he is out of the matrix, he cannot play the role of the battery. Then when a large proportion of awakening occurs, the entire matrix system will face short-term paralysis. The whole theme of the hackers who can reach the most consensus is to refresh the system before the short-term paralysis, and make up for the loopholes of the previous generation matrix by upgrading the matrix system. Makes Awakening occurrence events less likely to occur, and the proportion of Awakened Populations appearing less.
For independents, the matrix is resolved by massacre in the early stages. In the later stage, the practice of independents turned to mental attacks, independents will be driven out of the matrix, and then by assigning a loophole collector like the independents, they will collect the incurable diseases found by these independents. Then bring back the matrix main program to upgrade the matrix. The later approach appears to be quite scientific and rational, yet ideal.
So is the matrix a totalitarian
system? The most obvious feature of a totalitarian system is the abuse of violence. Personal attacks against dissidents, such as burning books and pitting Confucians in ancient times, the anti-rightist movement in the 1960s, and the Cultural Revolution are all representative works of this method. Spread terror through violence, coupled with strict supervision by the secret police. In the matrix, the black-clothed agents who have been chasing and killing are pushing the secret police to the foreground. And black-clothed agents can appear in any person at will, which also symbolizes the pervasiveness of supervision in the totalitarian system. What the Matrix did to the awakened people in the later period was to push them to the fringes of society. Before 1989, most Eastern European countries had used similar methods, especially the Soviet Union's deportation of Sol.
The best thing about the whole hacker is that the ruling class is non-human. Robots symbolize not only politics, but also philosophy and technology. And my level is limited, so I can only briefly describe the political projections.
I believe more and more that to understand a society, we need to read the books banned by this society. But since banned books are scarce resources, the more you read, the fewer people who understand you and who can communicate with them. Now I finally understand why Neo is losing sleep.
There is still cynicism left unsaid, a word that is somewhat taboo.
