    The Matrix The Matrix is a science fiction movie about artificial intelligence computers replacing mankind.

In the case of The Matrix, the movie dazzles people with awesome special effects using modern computer technology, which I find ironic. I find it self-conflicting and hypocritical for the media to use modern computer technology for their

    I see no similarities with my life with both of these ideas. I find the Matrix to be too much of a theory and there is no relevance or exact physical proof of The Matrix that is currently happening in real life.

The greatest struggle for both characters is distinguishing between what is perceived
