Week 2..."The Matrix"
We just finished watching The Matrix in Dr. J's class, even though I've seen it more than enough times, he wants to explain it in his own way. He relates it to Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" which is about a civilization that lived in a cave throughout their entire lives and don’t know of anything else outside of it. One individual got lose and is trying to convince the others that theirs a world outside of this cave. In the case of the movie, Neo would be the individual that gets set free and he eventually sets free other minds that were trapped in the Matrix (more obvious in Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions). I agree with Dr. J's opinion of the movie, they are similar in a sense, the Cave would be the matrix (the world those with their minds trapped live in), the free individual would be Neo.

i think it was good of u 2 use the reading of the allegory cave in with ya passage
good connection with allegory of the cave.
I agree. You made a spot-on comment on the relationship between Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" and The Matrix. There are also other references in the film, for example, Alice In Wonderland and Christianity are frequently mentioned throughout the film.
I like how did you relate the Matrix with Allegory of the Cave. because I did no mention it.
Really interesting
