<\/figure>\n\n\n\nDear friend,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I just finished re-watching the MATRIX; and oh man, this movie is so epic– not only in terms of the concept behind the film, but the ‘pop philosophy’ sayings are pretty good as well. And the cinematography is pretty solid as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read Part 2: MATRIX Philosophy and Cinematography ><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n See all Cinema Articles ><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n So if you’ve never watched the MATRIX, please please please watch it. I recommend watching the first one — the second two are good to watch if you’re a Matrix fan, but not necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyways, if you don’t know the plot of the Matrix, it is simple: The ‘real’ world isn’t real. Instead, machines (AI–artificial intelligence) has turned human beings into batteries. We are hooked up to this false reality called the ‘matrix’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now to me the premise of this movie is fascinating, because it was one of the first movies to make philosophy more accessible to the masses (at least of people of my generation). A lot of philosophy is brought into question, like Plato’s cave — where prisoners are stuck in a cave, and only shown shadows of the real world, yet they think it is real. This similar scene is in the film ‘El Topo’ by the film-maker Alejandro Jodorowsky<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyways, here are some of my takeaways from the film, in terms of philosophy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyways there are more themes to cover in the film, let us continue by talking about the cinematography:<\/p>\n\n\n\n To start off, here are the contact sheets from the film. Note the prevalent green tones in terms of the color palette, highlighted with touches of red. Later on in the film, the scenes which are predominately red symbolize danger:<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most visually-iconic things from the film is the iconic System-Green Kanji Computer Code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Wachowski Brothers (now known as the Wachowski Sisters) have noted that they got their inspiration from Japanese Kanji\/text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To me the symbolism of the computer-code kanji is significant, because in some ways– the information we perceive in the real world can all eventually be abstracted into data. It is how we interpret<\/em> this data which creates our own reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skipping ahead in the film (spoiler alert), there is a point where Neo believes in himself, and he is able to see the false reality of the Matrix simply encoded as all green-computer-code-kanji:<\/p>\n\n\n\n To analyze this, note the negative black space from her computer which starts from the top of the frame, then lowers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another nice shot: first starts off from the back of Trinity (her arms behind her head, with elbows in a triangle shape), then the next shot you see the cop’s head framed in-between her elbows\/arms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note the triangles made with the elbows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then in the next shot, note the new angle, with the elbows blocking out the rest of the shot:<\/p>\n\n\n\n When Trinity is first running away from the agents, she jumps through a window, then draws her guns, waiting for the agents to enter. Note this nice change of camera angle and cinematography:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note the leading lines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note trinity outlined in pink; the epic perspective, and the leading line of the stairs on the right in cyan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nice shot of the phone on the far left of the frame, then the next frame which focuses on trinity. A simple yet effective cinema technique:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next epic scene, note the shift of camera perspective, then trinity holding up her hand (as a gut instinct of fear):<\/p>\n\n\n\n Especially note the use of the red blood on her left eye, which is a nice contrast with the green\/blue tones of the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Especially nice: the fingers on the far right of the frame, then the shadow on her eyes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Metaphor of ‘searching’ — as humans we are all searching for something deeper– something with deeper meaning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n NEO is just a symbol and metaphor for all of us. A lot of us are lost\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6lost in our devices, the internet, and technology; striving for something deeper in our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then Neo is prompted to ‘wake up’. Kind of us like us– we must all wake up from our techno-dream-daze of false reality:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then a fascinating scene; Neo sells some hacker-disk to some punks in exchange for money, and hides it inside a book that is called ‘Simulacra and Simulation’ — a book by Jean Baudrillard<\/a>, on this essay on ‘Nihilism’ (philosophy of nothingness):<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is fun, because it takes us down a rabbit hole\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6of following the ‘White Rabbit’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can read the essay: “On Nihilism” here ><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Read Part 2: MATRIX Philosophy and Cinematography ><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Notes from the matrix:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcwelcome to the real world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 what is real? how do you define what is real?<\/p>\n\n\n\n real is just electrical signals interpreted by your brain\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6if we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t perceive something\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 is it not real? does it not exist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcyou\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been living in a dream world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/p>\n\n\n\n –<\/p>\n\n\n\n built to keep us under control<\/p>\n\n\n\n turn a human into battery?<\/p>\n\n\n\n not easy, but the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ‘the mind has trouble letting go’<\/p>\n\n\n\n —<\/p>\n\n\n\n change whatever you want inside matrix; whatever you see fit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n human race needs to be free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n we need training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ‘you want some more? hell yeah!’<\/p>\n\n\n\n ’10 hours straight; he’s a machine’<\/p>\n\n\n\n —<\/p>\n\n\n\n what rules can be broken\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6besides physical laws like gravity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n what rules in life can we break\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6what social rules can we break?<\/p>\n\n\n\n –<\/p>\n\n\n\n what are you waiting for? you’re faster than this. you’re stronger than this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n don’t think you are; know you are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n stop trying; just do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ‘I’m trying to free your mind, neo’<\/p>\n\n\n\n how to free your mind \/\/ but i can only show you the door–youre the one who has to walk through it<\/p>\n\n\n\n —<\/p>\n\n\n\n you have to let it all go; fear, doubt, and disbelief. free your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n –<\/p>\n\n\n\n ‘i thought it wasn’t real. your mind makes it real’<\/p>\n\n\n\n The body cannot live without the mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n —<\/p>\n\n\n\n The system is our enemy<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most people not ready to be unplugged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fight the gatekeepers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n —<\/p>\n\n\n\n Agents; based on rules\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6break from the rules!

If you’re new to the series, read Part 1 on the Matrix<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I love this part — when TRINITY tells Neo to ‘follow the white rabbit’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To me this is significant because in real life, we are given the opportunity to take a risk, to take a chance. Neo fortunately takes the chance and follows the white rabbit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is an ancient Venetian proverb:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ocean is deeper the further you go into it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The same philosophy with ‘following the white rabbit\/follow the rabbit hole’ (concept from Alice in Wonderland).<\/p>\n\n\n\n In real life, we have the option to take the ‘safe’ option, or we have the option to go into an unknown rabbit hole. I think to live a more interesting\/epic life, we should go down more unknown rabbit holes, and go on more adventures!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There is this funny scene, when Neo wakes up and he is late for his boring job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The cinematography is this: you see a window with soap suds, being wiped off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To me the symbolism is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Neo is about to have his ‘false reality’ wiped– so he can see ‘real reality’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n One scene is when Neo gets a call from Morpheus, telling him the agents are coming after him. He is instructed to go out of the building, and onto a very dangerous cliff on top of the skyscraper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Neo then chickens out, and he says, “I can’t do this”, and he ends up getting captured by the agents:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think the moral lesson is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don’t take risks in life, you will end up in a worse<\/em> situation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Then one of the most iconic parts of the film:<\/p>\n\n\n\n When given the opportunity\/choice, do you take the red pill (reality) or do you take the blue pill (false reality)?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n To me, this is a great symbol of real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In real life, we have options for the red pill\/blue pill:<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you go on a journey of self-searching and studying philosophy, you realize that the road will be painful, arduous, and difficult, yet– you would prefer to discover the ‘truth’ of reality, rather than being a happy ignoramus (blue pill).<\/p>\n\n\n\n I particularly like the cinematography here, with the shift between the close-up on Morpheus’s hands (with the two pill colors), then a close-up to his reflective sunglasses, which show both his hands (and both pills), and the reflection of Neo:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Closeup of the hands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Closeup of Morpheus’ sunglasses\/reflection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Good job Neo, taking the red pill!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
