Here’s the prompt: What is the Matrix? (Not Morpheus’ definition. What is the film?)
Need more? Explain the film as an allegory; however, you must use both readings (Plato and Descartes) discussed at length in class. Apply specific ideas and passages from the texts to specific scenes and dialogue in the film. This isn’t just a science fiction film. Show me why. Show where Plato and Descartes’ ideas reveal themselves in the film. Quote the texts to show these connections. Many quotes from the film can be found on IMDB.com.
The fine print: The paper is to be 5-7 pages in length. (Five pages minimum on the first draft.) All drafts are typed, double-spaced, and in 12 point Times Roman font. You must include a works cited page.
