@luizy6701 It's all about the question of free will, how much of what we are doing is actually us making choices and what is just "programmed responses". Even with the Oracle, Neo was being controlled bit passively, the whole bench scene, She knows Neo will sit, he wants to sit, bit once she says have a seat he feels like she was reading the future, so he decides to stand. Then he decides he might as well sit and that it doesn't matter, just like the Oracle had seen already. So is he making those choices? And then with his vision of Trinity, he has already made the choice, so does that mean he is making all the choices and actions in between those moments of his own free will or is he just playing a part in a play still?
Basically what is free will, why do we fight so hard for the feeling of it when even that is a simulation? What is the point of life? You know all that...lol What is the Matrix?
But seriously, all of our reactions and things we do are just kind of programming, that our brain runs to keep us surviving, and are we making those choices...we all have ways we react to things because of patterns we've picked up in our lives. Do we actually make the choices we make, how do you unplug from the matrix of society when it is harming you...I don't know man, there really are countless layers. Like the whole religious allegory side, the metaphysics side, the political philosophical take on society. It's about a lot of things. That's what's so great about it. And then all wrapped up in a scifi action flick with gorgeous aesthetic. It's a work of art.
I am a biased fan boy though.
