What is the Matrix?

Well, at the beginning of the first matrix film when they started to talk about "The Matrix" what did you think it was?

And don't say "A computer Program that you Jack into, or a Virtual Reality controled by your brain."

Tell us what you really thought it was.

My first assumption was that 'the Matrix' was some kind of grand illusion, like Maya in Buddhism.

To tell you the truth, i had no idea of the multitude of connotations and denotations associated with the word "Matrix" so i was pretty devoid of assumtions about "what is the Matrix?". Of course, i was also fairly young when it first came out (i still am pretty young, as i am not yet 20). To think of all the things i have learned because of these movies, whether through Omega, Sifer and Ush, or through my own research in order to better understand these movies, is amazing, and yet i know that i still have much to learn, many things i missed in my enjoyment of the trilogy. In other words, i have grown much as a person and a mind due to these movies (among other things...*cough* school *cough*)

the matrix is just an overdosed Acid trip that has countless meanings to people wheather it be philosophical or religous, or both. It is still nothing more than an Acid trip. Neo was enver the one, he is just trippin out in a dark corner somewhere. these are some of the most complex movies with many layers of juicy substance.

I thought that The Matrix was the name of some sort of conspiracy. Maybe a program used by the Illuminate...

and what movie isn't may I ask? When a movie is released and is free, I'll say they didn't do it for the money, but there has never been one movie made that hasn't been made for money.

yes there is. I am one of them. We arent as conspiracy and power crazy as you think though. Mostly we just like having cookouts and pretending that we have controll over the world as so many people think we do. Let me tell you though, we dont have as much control over the world as people would like you to believe. I have to haggle to get thirty cents off of a hamburger at mcdonalds like the rest of you. sad
