Allegory Of The Cave

WHILE I BEGIN TO READ THE ALLEGORY OF THE CAVE I DID NOT UNDERSTAND IT UNTIL I BEGAN READING THE PLOT. I CAN T BEGIN IMAGINING WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO GO THROUGH LIFE BEING IMPRISONED AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT EXACTLY THE SHADOWS ON THE WALL ARE. NOT KNOWING WHAT IT IS LIKE TO MAKE SENSE OF SOMETHING I AM SEEING. AND IT IS CRAZY CAUSE WHEN THEY ARE FREED THEY STILL CAN NOT MAKE SENSE OF THE OBJECT THAT HAS CAST THE SHADOW. " SOCRATES SAYS THAT IT IS ABOUT EDUCATION AND LACK OF EDUCATION". I DO NOT WANT BE THE ONE TO GO AGAINST THE GREAT SOCRATES BUT I FEEL MORE LIKE NOT KNOW AND WHAT YOU ARE USE TO. IF YOU ONLY ARE YOU TO SEEING SHADOWS. I FEEL IT IS BORING TO IMAGINE THE SAME IMAGE OF WHAT CASTS THE SHADOW. WHEN YOU ARE IMPRISONED YOU WANT TO FIND ANY WAY TO MAKE THINGS A LITTLE BETTER . IMAGINING WHATS NOT THERE IS EASIER THAN REALIZING THE TRUTH. CAUSE EACH DAY YOU CAN LOOK FORWARD TO A NEW SHAPE, AND YOU IMAGINATION OF THE IMAGE THAT CASTS IT

MY EXPERIENCE IN THE MATRIX

In class we watched The Matrix. To be totally honest i never would have suggested to watch it alone, as in at home . But surprisingly i liked it. I would give it a 7. I expected it to be something really different. I loved how the director viewed the future. And how we separated the two worlds and described why and how they are different. Also the word matrix is a great word to name the movie. A world where you don't know anything about the real world. I am sure some people would like that. But imagine how you would feel if the world was fake and unreal. That means your feeling aren't real. When you cry it isn't real. What you touch isn't real. and the love that you might feel for another human may not be real. That is crazy. In the movie you can understand why they want to protect there world and not subject them selves to a world of fake. In the movie Cyphersold his peers out because the steak in the matrix seems real.

This movie also shows that if you believe you can achieve. Neo did not believe he was the one until he was doubted and wanted to prove to himself. in the end he became the one. I guess it is a message film.
