Gnosticism

Gnosticism is a religious movement that combines a whole bunch of religions and basically tells the people that they are "trapped in a material world" ("Gnosticism" wikipedia.org). in order to escape the 'material world" you would have to gain knowledge of God. through what is called gnosis.

Personally i feel that Gnosticism is just like every other religion. every religion has it's own perspective on the world. their are religions that believe that the world is just a temporary place for them to stay until God comes and free them from it. some other religions believe that the world is a living HELL.

the matrix is kind of similar. they believed the real world was hell, and it really wuz. there was 2 worlds, the real world and the virtual world. the vertual world was a cover up for the real world. the agemts want to get out the vertual world and take over the real world. and every one else in the real worls want it to get better and not be a living hell.

Matrix

Hey everyone... my opinion on the Matrix is that it is awesome! This is the first time I understood the movie in the 5 times that I saw it. The matrix is a very confusing movie. What is the matrix? Is the question that Neo strives to learn? The matrix according to the movie is a world made by the machines (agents) to keep the people in the world "cool" it's basically a cover up for what is really happening... it's actually almost the year 2199 and not 1999 and the world is in war with the machines. Neo is believed to be "the one" the one to end the war. The one to defeat the machines and agents. The one to set all the humans free, so they could live again. He is skeptical about it. But more toward the end he believes he is because he died and came back to life. As well as stopped bullets and defeating the agents.
The story line in my opinion is really good. It catches your attention because you want to know more and want to understand more about the movie. But there aren’t too many action scenes in the movie. I really like the part when they are trying to save Morpheus, all the action in that scene is quite exciting and with an adrenalin rush. The movie is confusing therefore I recommend that you see more then once. And actually to analyze it because it is more them just a movie. It’s a brain quiz.
