“The Matrix” as a Dystopia: Fears, Anxieties and Tendencies in Today’s Society as Depicted in a Futuristic Vision
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the film “The Matrix” as a dystopia. The 1999 Wachowski brothers’ film “The Matrix” reflects the most severe fears and anxieties within today’s society in regards to a futuristic world as a “dystopia”. Opposite of More’s idealistic world portrayed in his work “Utopia”, the literary term “dystopia” refers to a “bad place”. Since the industrial revolution and more recently the computer and information revolution, society’s fears of possible negative results from growing technological achievements have been reflected in literature and cinema. While currently cyber-technology, that which is related to the computer world and artificial intelligence, is being promoted as a positive element within society in that humans are able to access free information and share information on a global scale, the film “The Matrix” portrays more so that element not promoted within technological circles, that is, the negative and de-humanizing aspects of cyber-technology which robs human of their individuality from a physical and mental perspective and uses humans for the proliferation and eventual dominance of artificial intelligence.

Imperialism

This 12 page report discusses the invasion of the
European world to the “new” world that often took place under the
guise of promoting Christianity and saving native people. “The
Mission” captures the hopelessness and ultimate destruction that
took place because of such domination. As the movie unfolds in
truly remarkable cinemagraphic beauty (it won the Oscar for
cinematography), it becomes clear that it is not the Indians who
are in need of salvation. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
