Matrix review

We have seen the movie ‘Matrix’ in ENG101/103 classes, and this movie was very popular and issue when the time that end of the 1999 to early 2000. Why was it very big issue? I think the idea of the movie plot was very new to us because we never thought about it before we watched this movie. The visual effect was also very new such as slow motion that the main character Neo’s scene when he avoided the bullets. As you know, the first Matrix was very popular, so we could see second and third movies of Matrix. The plot of the movie is about the third world which we cannot see, but few of them know. And we are living in the imagination world which is not real actually. We have read ‘Allegory of the cave’ by Plato that is about prisoners who only believe what they can see, so they think the shadows, they are seeing, is talking directly(actually it was the noise from outside of the cave). The movie ‘Matrix’ is telling us that we are living in the world which we believe something that only we can see like the ‘Allegory of the cave’ story. I was suddenly thought that our view of the world is very narrow like the prisoners in ‘Allegory of the cave’ while I was watching the movie, Matrix.
