amazing, good philosophy but a little off :P

Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2015)

The amazing thing about this film is the philosophy behind it, being trapped inside the matrix is of course supposed to represent us being trapped inside our own minds, the physical world around us which our minds create for us to live in, inescapable, yet feeling so real. Everything you look at, hear, touch, it's all just a product of the brain, electrical signals, none of it is really "real", but invented by the mind. The part the film gets wrong is the idea that if you realise that you can break out of it, in reality the conscious mind is a slave to a higher mind which is imposing this prison onto it; the consciousness is not creating this world and is powerless in trying to manipulate its prison.
