The Matrix Film
The Matrix film of American-Australian, is a science
fiction (1999). It depicts simulated reality called “the Matrix”.
The film shows that machines subdue the human population.
The devices that is connected to human beings as they grow,
makes their bodies get used to heat and electric activities for
energy supply. Neo, who is a computer programmer, learns the
truth about this people who are enslaved by cable connection to
blackmail others(Connolly, 2015). The functioning of human
machines is a fiction since the reality is that billions of people
are connected by cables to function as they grow. Comment by

2. Comment by Terr, Vivian: How does this discussion of the
film relate to your source, which discusses John Locke’s
theories? Comment by Terr, Vivian: Please use your
introductory paragraph to provide the reader with a thesis
statement which incorporates the concepts of the writing prompt
in the assignment.
Simulation distinguishes reality from unreality in Matrix
film. Reality deals with the rationalism of the reasoning ability
of a human being. Unreality deals with the observation that is a
human experience. The issues in the Matrix film of machines
subduing is unreal because, after several years of experience,
Neo learns the truth, that real human are enslaved to act as
humans machine. The duplicated human beings were unreal
since the real human beings were confined. Rationalism and
Empiricism approaches of Epistemology revealed that human
beings are real, but machine duplicates are unreal. The effect is
of the postmodern culture where people tend to bind on models
and maps. Postmodernism makes people come up with artificial
human beings as portrayed in the Matrix film. John Locke
(1632-1704) is a philosopher who believed protection of natural
rights of the citizen which depicts reality(Connolly, 2015).
Comment by Terr, Vivian: What does this sentence mean?
Comment by Terr, Vivian: This discussion is difficult to
understand.
The dream world is illustrated by the computer world, where
there is making of artificial human beings. The matrix film
tends to prove that machine-human beings are real but the truth
unearthed is that they are not real human(Connolly, 2015). The
dream world is unreal because human beings cannot be made
from machines. The film reveals that the ideas of the people
coming up with the world of technology cannot prosper unless
they stop enslaving human beings into the machine. The
computer world of making human beings is a dream, and the
concept will remain unreal. The physical existence of artificial
human is unreal, but the natural life is a reality. Comment by
Terr, Vivian: How does this discussion of the film relate to your

3. source, which discusses John Locke’s theories?
The drama of Neo finding the truth after accepting to take the
red pill shows that the artificial human beings are unreal and
achieving the objectives of machines subduing human
population is a dream. The element of reality came when human
beings were enslaved in the machines, and they successful
worked. According to John Locke, we can say that artificial
human is a mental object that can never be true (Connolly,
2015). The act of putting human beings into machines is
insanity. The enslaving of the people in the film depicts the
reality of insanity. Neo and Morpheus found out, that enslaving
of human being using the machine made them to rebel against
the act.
Human beings can distinguish between reality and unreal states.
According to John Locke, people’s objects are mental ideas, and
therefore people can differentiate reality and unreal
ideologically. In the film, Neo realize on his own that they are
made to work as a machine and this makes him to rebel against
the machine operations. The matrix film showed that the
machines subdue the human population. The relative value of
reality is the difference in perception and nature consideration
that creates epistemology. People tend to think rationally and
use their experience to understand reality and unreality.
Comment by Terr, Vivian: Please cite to your source for
this information. Comment by Terr, Vivian: What does this
sentence mean? Comment by Terr, Vivian: This essay refers
to Locke’s theories in the most cursory way, but Locke’s ideas
are not part of this assignment’s writing prompt list of authors.
Instead, the writing prompt says
“Discuss what your chosen film says about the following topics
(to the extent that they apply to your chosen film):
“The distinction between “true” reality and the unreal,
specifically
simulation,

4. the dream world,
scripted events or dramatization,
insanity, or
an individual’s “inner sense of reality,”
and how reality and the unreal interact with each other.
The ability of humans to distinguish between reality and other,
unreal states.
The relative value of reality and the unreal (i.e., Which state
should we value more, which state is more “true”?)
Which of the authors we have discussed this term has discussed
ideas which closely parallel those in your chosen film?
How do the author’s ideas differ from, and correspond to, the
ideas in your chosen film?”
