Default Re: The Matrix.... A question, lol..

One question tho....

1) What is the point of the Matrix?

Seems to me, machines toke over the world (reeks of Terminator lol) and capture all the humans, enslaving them to the "pods" to be plugged into the Matrix - an artificial world controlled by the machines as a programme.

So? What the point? It ain't real, it don't affect the "real world" (or lack off) so why bother?

Second question - from a human point of view.

2) Why are they so eager to get out? Inside the Matrix they have light, sun, clothes, good food - all the stuff you get in the real world. when they "get out" they got jack. No sun, under attack all the time, rags for cloths, slop for food - not really living is it? Surely they are far better off in the Matrix?

3) Lastl (lol) the machines in the real world - why? Apart from keeping the humans in the pods to carry out the Matrix - what other purpous do they have? Why bother to exist? Can't see the point!

Oh, one LAST thing (promise)

4) In the last film (Revolutions) Neo ends the war by dying, and thus destroying his alter ego/whatever. so the final scene, the Oracle and the Creator talk, and he says all the other humans will be free'd.

So if they all get free'd, surely there would be no people in the Matrix apart from computer programmed ones that aren't real (and aren't based on real people like the people that were in the pods) So there would be no point (well, even less point) to there even being a Matrix, so again - WHY BOTHER?

It don't make sense
1) They said that the humans need mental stimuation to survive, and I guess it surpresses the desire to get out?

2) The grass is always greener.... BUT, there was that one guy that wanted to be plugged back in after he realised it sucked. It's just about how we don't like to be controlled by someone (thing) else.

3) Machines want to exist just as much as we do because they are intelligent.

4) I'll get back to you
