Philosophy in The Matrix

in #philosophy7 years ago

Many people are familiar with the concept but so many people haven't actually seen The Matrix surprisingly despite being a major success with many awards and is also the latest film to be added into the National Film Registry for preservation of of significant films in our culture and history.

For those who have seen the movies, many just think about the concept of being in a simulation and never the philosophy that is deeply encoded into the movie. I've stumbled onto a documentary that discusses the philosophy of The Matrix. I'm a philosophical thinker but I'm not formally read and studied in philosophy, so watching this and having everything actually described and specific thought experiments and theories cited was most interesting.

The documentary can be viewed with the URL below. I think that many people who have always seen The Matrix referenced (probably a lot in a cryptocurrency fond community like here) should look into actually watching the trilogy, and for those who had seen it and aren't philosophically studied should consider watching this to give The Matrix some more appreciation
