The Matrix


            The movie certainly leaves you thinking. This is how it affected me and made me think aside from the obvious storyline. .
             "The Matix- was obviously made in order to induce wonder along with the deep-thought process. Since you have probably gotten a bunch of movie reports on 1) the action or 2) the religious symbolism, and I don't really want to write about those things, I am going to write about my thoughts after watching the movie. .
             A few key things: The Matrix=dreaming=heaven.
             How many times have you had a dream where you have brought back to life somebody that you had known before they died? Was it a grandparent, or a friend? Maybe we are not bringing them back to life at all. Maybe we are just momentarily inside their world. Have you ever had a friend who was mad at you, but in a dream everything was ok between the two of you? Maybe on some level the two of you have connected in a place that knows and understands forgiveness (a.k.a. Heaven). .
             So what about nightmares? Consider that Hell is a nightmare. Ever heard the saying that "You are your own worst enemy,"" or how about the one that goes along the line that "You will punish yourself more than anyone else possibly could?- Perhaps it is true. Having a nightmare is like creating your own personal Hell. The only way out of it is to forgive yourself, because unless you do forgive yourself "who else could possibly forgive you? .
             Perhaps these aren't the questions that should be asked, though. I am not one to wonder which world is "real."" I am one to wonder whether a) both worlds actually exist, or b) if they are real, can you exist in both of them at the same exact time? "The Matrix- is referred to as a dream-like place. My argument for actually existing in the matrix is the old saying, "I think, therefore I am."" You never cease to think, because if you did you simply would not exist. Therefore, even when you are dreaming you are thinking and you exist.
