Write a response (250-500 word) to The Matrix. You may use any of the readings or anything else you know (other films and etc.) to frame your ideas. You may discuss one or two themes or ideas you saw or read about, ask questions that you would like to find the answers to, or anything else as long as you do not summarize the plot except to illustrate a point.

The Matrix is the kind of movie that makes you sit around and think. It makes you wonder if the world we're live in is the reality or is it just an illusion. Some people would never question the thought unless they watch movie. Other people may say that they have thought about before watching the movie. Most may say that heaven can be the reality and earth is the illusion. God can take us out of the illusion and bring us to the reality. I don't know if God has to pull a plug to end it but he can end it. Neo represents Jesus and Jesus rescuing for everyone sins. But with Neo, he rescuing everyone from the illusion that the computers set up. So I guess the main question that would be on everyone minds is "Are we living in the reality or the illusion?" Everyone has a different answer to this question but I think we will never know if which answer is right and which is wrong. The Matrix brings different thought from a lot people. I think this movie forces us to question life. Sometimes we have to ask ourselves, "Are we prisoners in this illusion?" or "Are we really free in the reality?" Maybe some chose not to believe if there's a reality world or an illusion world. It’s hard to tell which is which but I guess one day we will find out where we really stand in this universe.
