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 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 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, 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?”
