Matrix Trilogy is one the most celebrated feature film of our generation. I feel Very few people understood the movie in the first attempt. With seeing it many times and some surfing people understood it literally.
Movie shows that Machines have overtaken the world and are doing farm of humans to generate energy for there survival. So, whatever we see is a virtually simulated world thinking it as the reality. Morpheus is doing the job of freeing more and more people from this virtual reality and rest of story everybody knows.
I think Matrix is a symbolic reality. What machines are doing in matrix? They are simulating a virtual world in our minds and we are feeling that is reality. Have we tried to look at functioning of our mind? How it takes decisions? How is oscillates? How it responds to certain stimuli?
Our mind is a kind of biochemical program which is being continuously programmed. Our actions are function of our thought, thought is a function of our memory. And this memory is conditioned by our surroundings. Most of the our notions based on this memory. Most of our thoughts, composures , attitude are based on it.
SO, all our ambitions, actions are motivated by what we read, what we think(again memory). So, in a way it is what there in this memory that decides who we are? what we are doing? why we are doing?
Now as we have started introspecting into what drives us, what makes us.... what we are now...where are we going...where we really wanna go...We can trace most of our drives, ambitions, motivations.. We were directly or indirectly instructed to follow a path..If we are honest enough to admit roots of these ambitions are really weak. They all look foolish. We were made to think that way. Here comes analogy of virtual world created by Machines in Matrix. We are programmed by this society for its benefits and vested interests. Whatever that is been told to us , taught to us in not necessarily for our good.
Now, as in matrix to free ourselves from this virtual reality means freeing us from our conditioned memory. Deleting all the crap that is there. Keeping things which makes sense..Asking ourselves is this really what I want to do...not asking our memory what I want to do..That is real freedom expressed symbolically in Matrix.
This is to free us from all stupid notions..stupid ideologies we are carrying...to make our vision clear... from dust which is there from centuries....to give us a new look...new beginning ..to look afresh at an illusion.. called Life :)
