This week in my Eng 101/ Eng 103 class, my classmates and I watched a movie called The Matrix. It was about a man naned Thomas Anderson, who was living two diffetent lives. By day he is just Thomas Anderson a computer programer but by night he was Neo a computer hacker. He was always questioning his reality that is until he meets a man named Morpheus. Morpheus takes him under his wing and shows him that the world he lives in isn't real and how everything in it that he ever thought to be ture was just make believe, he explains that machines imprisoned their minds and made a fake reality known as the Matrix. I was a little confused as to why they were fighting the government agents, but they were all trying to kill each other for some reason. The government agents were able to morph into any other person whenever they wanted and where super fast and strong.
Our professor also asked us to pay attention to thing like the way gender was portrayed and how they used humans vs. machines but also used humans as machines. I dont think gender played a big role in this film. As for humans and machines was pretty much the whole movie. The humans were like brain washed by the machines into thinking anything the machines wanted them to think. The government agents were like machines and they were controling everyone. They were able to jump into and take other anyones body. The humans were helpless.
Overall I thought it was a little confusing the way the used humans as machines like the machines were humans.
