Matrix helps demonstrate materialism and dialectics

Rating: Null/10 (9 March 2001)

A Hollywood film of tremendous value -- a great gift to the
revolutionary movement on par with that of Reds politically and done artistically as well as can be with
special effects. Humyn-beings both dead and alive are tended by machines in gigantic mechanical farms where they
are used as batteries for the various kinds of heat and
electricity that they produce. Not only does the script-
writer uphold materialism as the existence of an external
world independent of the subject (humyn mind), but also the
script-writer shows us how science will conquer and make
everything knowable including dreams. There are a few drawbacks to this film, but on the whole, MIM could not
have asked for more in a two and a half hour Hollywood
movie. We can use the movie to educate people about dialectics, modes of production, Lenin's book "Materialism
and Empirio-Criticism" and the drawbacks of anarchism and
individualism.
