i think that Danahay and Reider are trying to say that what the life of the matrix is different form what the marxist believe.marx siad that people don't realized the relationship between work and what it produce and he also said that it's because of they were brainwashed to think that they work for themselves and not for the labor.

well, as for me The ExistenZ could be more realistic than the matrix movie even they both are saying that we can go to the future. as the way the matrix is, you can go to the future and you can't go back to your current time that you live right now. But the Existenz says that you can go to the future and you can come back to the time that you live in and anyone who were installed bio port can play the game. but in the matrix, most of the people are just regular people and there are just two groups who are playing the game, the morphrius's group and the other one. So, i think it's not too realistic. what i think is if it is happen, it should happen to everyone. it's shouldn't just happen to two groups of people. and one more thing, if they can invent to go to the future , they should have done inventing to go to the past at least to the time we live in right now. there are many ways that ExistenZ makes more sense to me compared to the matrix. first, ExistenZ says anyone who installed the bio port can play the game, go to the future and come back. you don't need to be the chosen ones to do so.
in the movie ExistenZ,it's still you whether you are going to the future.you don't reborn or something like that.But in the matrix,you go to the future whith no way back and you are going to be reborn in order to be in the future.so,what i mean right here is you need people to support you to learn their way of doing stuffs and living in the matrix. But in the ExistenZ, you just get into the future with no one's help in the future.you don't need anyone to install the material arts or something to your memory.i think that's the beauty of it.One more thing,i see that someone must ring the telephone to call the guys in the future back to their base.i think that it shouldn't be that way. i really do think that it should be just you who control yourself.if you compare time of the matrix and the ExistenZ, the matrix's future could be later than the time that ExistenZ's future. i have that idea by the way they dress,the buildings and the use of the weapons.the things they use in the movie, ExistenZ does look old fashion compared to the matrix's latest weapons.

well,, i think in the book, she meant that the matrix used lots of modern stuffs like special effects and so on , eXistenZ is the better movie because of the use of gore and stuffs.. she is kind of stereotyping,,, i think. she should look for the other stuffs too..like the theme of the story. they are pretty much the same. they both go to the future.

matrix essay

I believe that the world we live in is not matrix because the people we have today are all given birth by human parents. None of us were given birth by something called pink goo which is hanging in the air, filled with fluid and be able to control by computer systems. But we have something like a glass tube that can give birth to human just like a human mother can do. You just need to use scientific methods to combine the sperms aka DNAs from the parents. If they have that technology growing bigger and better, our world will be matrix in the future because science and computers will control the humans even before the birth. If there is matrix exists, I’m sure that people in the future will have no religion. Because almost all the religions said god created human except Buddha as far as I know. Buddha didn’t answer that question. As for me, I’m a Buddhist person and most of the people says that religion blinds you. But I don’t think it’s true because I didn’t ever feel anything blinds me. I’ m still willing to see and learn about other religions. If the matrix does exist, there are no gods and no religions. In religious way, I believe that Buddha exists. So, the matrix doesn’t exist to me. In Matrix, Neo believed that everything he believed was not real. There is a real great quote from Nixon that “Can we really make sense of the idea of a person who has beliefs but these beliefs are all or almost all false? If the answer is no, then ultimately we will not be able to make sense of stories like The Matrix (or at least my version with increased maliciousness from the computers) that involve people whose beliefs are almost all false”(37). You can’t seriously tell me that you believe in a person who said that almost everything he believes is wrong.
I have one more serious question. Does human created computer system or computers created everything we have today including ourselves. In Matrix, nothing is real that you believe right now. So, does u believe that sun, moon, earth and the universe exists? I think all of us believe all of them exist in religious way, scientific way or anyway you can think of. I don’t think the human being, sun, moon, earth and universe are not programmable. If you believe the matrix exists, please tell me who programmed the universe.
One last thing, let’s say one your great grandparents died last year and you were there. You saw that he/she was dead. If you believe in matrix, what you saw and believed was wrong. Are you going to tell me that one of great grandparents didn’t really die? You saw it and you felt it. So, what I mean is matrix doesn’t exist in our world.
