Reading the Matrix trilogy in one breath reminds me of a book I read before, called Sophie's World. In the book, Sophie met a philosophy teacher, Albert, and Sophie and Albert studied all the important philosophers from ancient times to the present. One day, she realized that she lived in a fictional world, so she and Albert fled the book together, which was the author's fiction. I had a strange feeling at that time. If I live in a fictional world, then everything is not what I want to do, but what I have to do, or I am at the mercy of others. If your own world is false, then the world around you is also false, and the history of mankind is also false, so where is the truth?

At the same time, I will think of another American film, peter weir's The Truman Show. Truman grew up in an artificial studio, and everything was set for him, even his girlfriend, until one day he found something was wrong, like a loophole in the computer system. Human beings have the nature of advocating freedom and revealing the truth, so Truman escaped from the false world like Sophie.

But these two examples can't fully summarize the relationship between truth and nothingness described in The Matrix. What The Matrix wants to talk about is not limited to this.

Sartre's existential philosophy says that being is not equal to being alive. Animals and plants are also alive. Although they exist, there is no need to think about the meaning of existence. Man is the only creature who is aware of his existence. A thing has only itself, and human beings do it for themselves. He also said that human existence is more important than anything else. The fact that I exist is more important than who I am.

Heidegger also pointed out that the problem of survival is always clarified through the survival activity itself. The essence of man is consumed in order to make truth exist for this existence. Existentialist human existence is bound to have human meaning, but the meaning is not fixed, and the meaning changes with the changes here and now. Nihilists deny the meaning of human existence.

Camus, another existentialist philosopher, explained in The Myth of Sisyphus that Sisyphus was punished and pushed the same stone to the top of the mountain repeatedly every day. Although this existence is absurd, he is happy. Because he doesn't have to think about the meaning of existence, his task is to push stones.

In a sense, The Matrix shows that no matter how absurd and nihilistic life exists in a world, its existence is meaningful. In a sense, if he has something necessary to do, then he is happy.

When the audience watched The Matrix, it was hard to accept at first, so I watched it blankly for a while. I didn't understand it at first, but as curiosity turned into a strong desire to know something deeply, I sat down and watched it three times. I mean, I watched it three times for everyone. I keep looking at the story, unfolding, continuing, and then analyzing myself. This is also our initial structure, and it is also some foundations that everyone agrees with in the second episode. One is to ask Neo to continue studying in his home country and have a newer and broader understanding. He already knows that there is a priest, who represents a China woman and a creator, who represents a more male, rational and mathematical way, and the Frenchman, who has an incredible and happy ability, an erosive and happy ability, which is constantly evolving.

Neo was just a real body at first, and then he went blind. Now he can see the light of the world. What he really faces is a world with light and energy. In the Matrix trilogy, he remembers that golden light is always a symbol of the soul. So he began to see the world, a world of light and energy, and he must become the light of the world. In a sense, Smith represents the alienated soul. Smith used his method.

Is the picture of fusion.

You can't miss them in the last twenty minutes. They changed from the physical world to blue. Neo is blind. He can't see it. They show you the spiritual and bright world, and when combined with it, they can save these areas. These areas are at war. If you look in this direction, this is the beginning of the movie. I think this is a very defensive explanation. Then you can look back at all the trilogy. I am a computer program, and I come from a machine. "You will be dumbfounded and say" Wow ". It was unexpected at first, but later it became a part of the whole and closely connected.

From BIGBANG to the beginning of every mother, there is no such phenomenon in our civilization. Whether it is American civilization or the history of world civilization, we should read or watch and interpret The Matrix trilogy as a complete series. The most interesting thing about this trilogy is that each trilogy reveals the connotation of other parts to us.

There are three realms: body, mind and spirit. The three kingdoms of Zion, Mother and Machine are constantly changing and evolving, and we will soon see that this evolution is going on at a very fast speed.

If the machine is really in the center, if the machine is really a pure soul, then it is human depravity and vanity that have changed the machine, which is caused by people, not by machines; When you deny the soul, when you stay away from it, when you fight against it and reject it, it will appear like the fire of hell. In other words, it will want to destroy you like a demon. In other words, as long as you are friendly to it, the machines will stop attacking, because they are no longer rejected by God's love, spirituality and spirituality, so Smith and Neo become a community of matter and antimatter.

Spiritual level in The Matrix: The Wachowski brothers combined the spirits of the East, the West, the North and the South, so we can see Jewish philosophy, Zen and such Taoist philosophy. Christians have a mysterious argument that hell is a flame rejected by God's love.

Truth has returned to the root, it does not return to the world, it really returns to the foundation of the source of all things. I believe that whether it is him or the Trinity, the matrix is changing, and the machine world is returning to the light and shining on Zion. They are one, no more separation, no more war, the last belief, but I always believe, always believe.

As we all know, there are two very common sects in the world, but in different forms. One is the Buddha of Sakyamuni and the other is Jesus Christ. The form of Jesus Christ is the unity of God and man, and others are saved, but they are not given light or spirituality. But in the Buddhist tradition or the western esoteric religion, including the mysterious Christianity, everyone is spiritual and can be liberated.

What the Wachowski brothers' films represent is that they make other changes very democratic. If they continue to do this, everyone will have a spiritual soul, just like Neo and Trinity. These two brothers are a bit like playing with this view, leaving their future views to the audience, but in this film, they are a bit like the foreshadowing left by the savior. When they merge, they will save the world, make them complete and healed, leaving some foreshadowing-the savior is. This is in nature, but also in history, to establish its unique relationship and its connection with something bigger than them, especially those who embrace the faith of love.

The Wachowski brothers really want to include rich philosophical, spiritual, social and political discourse. In this unusual story, it is admirable, visually stimulating, groundbreaking, and also a screen presentation. This is a great work, you can read it from thousands of angles and directions. Even better, the Wachowski brothers didn't say their explanation in public opinion, because they wanted everyone to have their own explanation. Another thing is that you can also look at it from the perspective of action movies. Tens of millions of people have seen and appreciated it, even if it is just a simple enjoyment. The best thing is that you can look deeper and deeper. What do you think when we talk about Heidegger and Upanishads, Schopenhauer and Plato, Emerson? The Wachowski brothers are one of them, because they know this thing. A film with such a high cost is absolutely rare. They are promoting art, not just box office.

Someone once said, "This is a phenomenon that deserves immortality." Let me use Emerson's famous words as an annotation. Emerson said, "History is just nonsense, if it has nothing to do with my own existence and transformation". In other words, history is a story of self, and you are talking about enlightenment. I believe that we have seen that there is another kind of equality. When a person becomes a god, he becomes a person who does not cause confusion, but after losing his divine power, he is just an ordinary person, a god who falls into the mortal world. This is what we saw in this movie. I want to conclude with what you and I pointed out at the beginning, and I want to comment on this film loudly. If you can see them as I do, you will know that they are made of light.

This drastic change has become a high-stakes chess game, unlike the boring things like "good guys/bad guys" in general, which are mostly the case in general movies. I think from a philosophical point of view, if we look at william james's book "The Will of Faith", and his exposition just echoes Clifford's "Morality of Faith", we will find that the center of faith is some states, but in these states, which to believe and which to believe. It is at that philosophical level, but it is expressed in the form of postmodernism, and it also has Homer's style type. From Virgil and alexander pope to Cosca Yamazaki's Odyssey in 1938, we began to observe the political aesthetics, survival value and the complexity of the soul in film art.

I think this film is one of the most representative films of our time. The so-called masterpieces are all images presented. This is a criticism, to some extent, an accusation against a sovereignty, which is very different from Virgil's, but it also involves our individual life and its significance, as well as the key to our group life and various rights organizations, the structure of power, obedience and obedience forms, and so on.

Historical works will inevitably bring about historic changes. Even if the Wachowski brothers only directed these three films, they will always bear the history of the films.
