Platonic Theories In The Matrix

Platonic Theories In The Matrix
In Between the Lines of the Script



Some Hollywood movies have meaning behind their kung-fu choreography and explosions of violence. In the movie, The Matrix, there are a great amount of psychology meanings in between the lines of the script. The characters and plot of the movie tie in and connect with Philosopher’s theories, beliefs and scenarios. Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and Theory of Forms relate and differ in several ways to the psychology of The Matrix.

The 1999 science-fiction film, The Matrix, is about a computer hacker named Neo who is brought into “reality” from a dream world; this “reality” is known as The Matrix. Morpheus defies, “The Matrix is everywhere, it's all around us, here even in this room...It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.” Neo is brought into the Matrix because he is believed to be “the one.” Neo’s former reality was created by machines so they could control the human population.

  
   Plato wrote a fictional dialogue called Allegory of the Cave, which was designed to teach,
as Plato said, "our nature in its education and want of education.” The Allegory of the Cave
[1]describes a group of imprisoned individuals who live their whole lives in a cave, facing a wall.
Their hands and legs are chained together and their head is adjusted to only stare at the wall.
And all they know of the world and reality are the sounds they hear and shadows they see
cast upon the walls of the cave. Plato imagined one of the prisoners was to be released,
how would he act in the real world? If the released prisoner was shown
the objects they have seen upon the wall of the cave, they would not
recognize it because the shadow is what’s real to the prisoner, not the actual
object. The prisoner believes that the cave is reality and reality is a dream world. Socrates
states, “…is graceless and looks quite ridiculous when – with his sight still dim and before
he has gotten sufficiently accustomed to the surrounding darkness.” (Socrates).  But the
prisoner would recognize the Sun and know what it is and that it gives everything,
including life and energy.

    The Allegory of the Cave and The Matrix relate because Morpheus
emphasized to Neo that the reality he once lived in wasn’t real and the released prisoner
from the cave was convinced that the outside world wasn’t reality. Neo unconsciously
lived in a cave, shielded from their real world, the Matrix. And all he saw was what was
in front of him. Morpheus stated, “I promised you the truth, Neo, and the truth is that
the world you were living in was a lie.” When Neo was birthed into the Matrix; he didn’t
believe he was in their reality because everything is computer operated and their
whole world revolves around electronics, something Neo isn’t used to, even though
he is a computer hacker.  The screen writers describe, ‘It is a swamp of bizarre
electronic equipment.  Vines of coaxial hang and snake to and from huge monolithic
battery slabs, a black portable satellite dish and banks of little systems and
computer monitors’ (Wachowski), in their stage directions. As the released prisoner
believed that the cave was reality, and the real world was imaginary,Neo believed
that the former reality he was living was real, and the Matrix was fantasy. Until
Morpheus showed him that the Matrix is in fact real, through belief. “You have
to let it all go, Neo. Fear...doubt...and disbelief,” states Morpheus. Allegory of the Cave
also differs from The Matrix as well. The released prisoner was let go against
his will, yet Neo was released into the Matrix by choice. But this theory is not
the only Platonic one related to the Matrix.

  The Allegory of the Cave also has to do with the Theory of Forms, in the sense
that Plato believes that there are perfect and pure forms outside of this  materialistic realm.
Reality isn’t perfect, so there would never be a perfectly  shaped object, in the real world
there is only duplicates. Plato believes that no  one would have access to the intelligible
world. Just like in Allegory of the Cave, the prisoners in the cave believe that the shadows
are real, when they are actually projections of the real thing. In “Plato’s Cave,” an article
by T.F Morris, he brings up Plato’s Analogy of the Divided Line; which is an illustrated version
of the Theory of Forms. Plato believes the universe is divided into two levels; the world of
appearances/the visible world and the intelligible world. In the visible world, the only objects
there are are visible things and images. In the mental state, there’s only belief and imagining.
In the intelligible world, the only objects there are are the good, the forms and mathematical
objects.  In the mental state, there’s intelligence or knowledge and thinking. 

The Theory of Forms relate to the psychology of The Matrix because the humans in the world that were once real to Neo, were only people brainwashed by the system. Morpheus says, “…most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependant on the system, that they will fight to protect it.” Just like Plato believes there’s a visible world and an intelligible world; the visible world is our world and the intelligible world is the Matrix. Morpheus states, “We are, right now, miles below the earth's surface. The only place humans can survive outside the Matrix is underground.” In the Matrix, that’s where everything is pure, just like in the intelligible world. Tank states, “Me and my brother Dozer, we are 100 percent pure…” In the visible world, people are the same thing as objects; they are the duplicates of purity that lies in the Matrix. If one is born in the Matrix or the intelligible world, one is considered pure because its that individual’s real world. The Theory of Forms also differs from The Matrix. Plato believes that in the Visible World, in people’s mental state, there is belief and imagining. But in the Matrix, that’s what their world revolved around, belief and imagining.

        Plato’s Theory of Forms and Allegory of the Cave compare and contrast to The Matrix in
many ways.  Nevertheless, Theory of the Forms and the analogy of the divided line would.
The Matrix isn’t actually the intelligible world, but to Morpheus and his crew, it is.  It’s real life
to them. “Welcome to the real world!”

Allegory of the Cave/ Theory of Forms

Here is a diagram of The Theory of Forms.

How does imagination lend meaning to our lives and experiences?

In one of the Twilight Zone episodes, "Walking Distance," the main character, Martin Sloan goes back to the town he grew up in to recollect all of his childhood memories. But when he goes there, all of the people that were there when he was little, are still there. In the park, he sees himself as a little kid and on the Ferris wheel. He also sees his parents but they don't know who he is because hes an adult. Going back to his hometown, Martin sees how much of his childhood he wasted and if he could do it all over again, he would. If he lived his childhood differently, his adulthood would be different. That's how his imagination led to the meanings of our lives.

In the story, "The Tell-Tale Heart" the "unreliable" narrator, kills an elderly man because the man supposedly had an "EVIL EYE". After he killed him, he was paranoid that he could hear the old man's heart beating. His imagination led him to turn himself in to the police. His act of selfish killing led him to regret his wrong doing. His conscious ate up his inside. That's how his imagination led to the meanings of our lives.

The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World Summary

This was definitely the weirdest story I've ever read.

This odd story was about a dead man who washed up on shore of a beach, in a small village. But this wasn't an ordinary man, he was a BIG man. So big he barely fit through the door of the house and he couldn't properly fit on the table neither, "...almost as much as a horse."
The village only had 20 houses and there were only 7 men, so they knew that this man was a stranger. The village woman decided to have a funeral for him because it would be the right thing to do. So they cleaned all of the seaweed and scales off of him. But none of their clothes could fit him, so they had to sew clothes from a boat sail. As they cleaned him up, they noticed that he was extremely handsome. And he was "...the tallest, strongest, most vile, and best built man they had ever seen..." They started comparing their husbands to "Esteban" (that's what they named him) and said men are "...the weakest, meanest, and most useless creatures on earth."
The woman then started to think what life he lived before he died. They thought it must have been difficult for him to go through doors or sit in normal chairs because he was so big, how could he fit.
When the woman finished dressing him for his funeral, one of them put a handkerchief on his face for respect. When one of them took it off, even the men agreed that he was handsome. The women's friends came, with flowers after flowers. And finally they tossed him overboard back into the water.
"Esteban" definitely didn't do say anything to have an effect on the village people. But he opened their eyes to things they didn't see before he arrived. They re-did all of the houses and made them big, in honor of "Esteban's" size. They widened the doorway, they made their floors steadier, paint the houses bright happy colors and make the ceiling higher. They considered the village, "Esteban's" .

Research Papers = Not cool !

I’ve learned that research is very complex and if you don't do it right, it could mess up your entire paper. You can't just get research from any place, especially online. There are some websites that don't state facts that can be proven, their just people's opinion on a topic. Some sites that end in EDU or GOV are the most reliable. EDU stands for education and GOV stands for government. Www.About.com and www.ask.com aren’t the world’s best reliable sources for a research paper because the information is based on people’s points of view.

Writing a research paper was definitely a learning experience for me, considering I wrote my first one for Psychology. I knew nothing about it and I didn’t know at exactly what angle to start from. High School never prepared me for research papers. I actually had to Google how to write a research paper because I had no clue. After looking at about 5 examples and formats, I started to get the hang of how to start it and how to expand a 4 word question into a 4 page research paper.

If writing a research paper is difficult, don’t wait till the last minute to do it. The time frame and not knowing what to write will stress you out and cause you to break down and most likely give up. Start ahead of time, so you have time to review it and to edit if you see you could add more or take out some.

Rough Draft : Platonic & The Matrix

Thesis: Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and Theory of Forms relate in many ways to the psychology of the Matrix.

    The 1999 science-fiction film, The Matrix, is about a computer hacker named 

Neo who is brought into “reality” from a dream world; this “reality” is known as 

The Matrix. “The Matrix is everywhere, it's all around us, here even in this 

room...It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the 

truth,” states Morpheus. The dream world was created by machines so they 

could control the human population. But in the dream world humans were free 

to do and be whoever they wanted.  

Plato and Socrates wrote a fictional dialogue called Allegory of the Cave,

which was designed to teach, as Plato said, "our nature in its education and want

of education.” The Allegory of the Cave (also known as, Analogy of the Cave/

Parable of the Cave/ Plato’s Cave) describes a group of imprisoned individuals

who live their whole lives in a cave, facing a wall. Their hands and legs are

chained together and their head is adjusted to only stare at the wall. And all they

know of the world and reality are the sounds they hear and shadows they see

cast upon the walls of the cave. Plato and Socrates imagined one of the prisoners

was to be released; how would he act in the real world? If the released prisoner

was shown the objects they have seen upon the wall of the cave, they would not

recognize it because the shadow is what’s real to the prisoner, not the actual

object. The prisoner believes that the cave is reality and reality is a dream world.

“…is graceless and looks quite ridiculous when – with his sight still dim and

before he has gotten sufficiently accustomed to the surrounding darkness” states

Socrates. But the prisoner would recognize the Sun and know what it is and that

it gives everything life and energy.

The Allegory of the Cave and The Matrix relate because Morpheus

emphasized to Neo that the reality he thought he lived in, wasn’t real and the r

released prisoner from the cave was convinced that the outside world wasn’t

reality. Neo subliminally lived in a cave, shielded from the real world, or the

Matrix. And all he saw was what was in front of him. When Neo was released

into the Matrix, he didn’t believe he was in reality because everything is

computer operated and he isn’t used to that.

Allegory of the Cave also has to do with the Theory of Forms, in the sense

that the forms have to do with the world of revolution being presented to us

through sensation, takes the highest and most basic kind of reality.

The Erotic Life of Machines

This article was about how the author, Steven Shaviro sees humans and how he thinks that we're all computers inside. He states that we are made out of information rather than bodies and physicality. Our minds are software that can run on different kinds of hardware.

He then talks about the Matrix and says that in the movie all of the physical reality as they knew it turned out to be a virtual simulation ran by evil machines in order to confuse and exploit them. He also states that in the film it shows that virtual reality is a prison but yet you can do what you want and be who you want. While he was talking about the Matrix, Shaviro kept using terms that involved him in it; like "us" or "our" or "we".

Then he states how author, Katherine Hayles thinks that we are all posthuman. Posthuman is a "before" human.

The music video "All is Full of Love" by Bjork is about robots. And he states how Bjork's voice is dehumanized. And he goes into detail about the lighting and how Bjork's skin is pale white and talks about the producer of this movie and talks a little about his background. All unnecessary things.

Shaviro also states that Marshall McLuhan thinks that each change in the media, changes the ratio to our senses.

Shaviro states that the World Wide Web is digitally divided. And that if someone doesn't state their race online, that you are presumed to be white. Due to our unconscious assumptions.

Then Shaviro talks about psychoanalysis. And says that humans need to understand the body and the mind in other terms, according to the play of other structures and other forces.

Shaviro lastly states that "our" bodies probably will become mechanized.

Rene Descarte and the evil demon

The omnipotent evil demon is sometimes called the evil genius. Descarte believes that there is another world, outside of earth, with other people, an illusion the demon presents. The evil demon who is "as clever and deceitful as he is powerful, who has directed his entire effort to misleading me." The evil demon also presents an illusion of his own body and all bodily senses [ Descartes has no body?]. And has the ability to change the fundamentals of logic and mathematics.

Dorian Grey rough draft

There is a fine line between imagination and reality. In Oscar Wilde’s, The Picture of

Dorian Grey, imagination is subliminally just as much as a main character than Dorian,

Basil and Lord Henry. But is this make-believe or an actual supernatural event that

occurs? Perhaps, if one was a character in this book, one would witness its truthfulness

or its phoniness. Dorian Grey’s paranoia wasn’t necessary because his eyes weren’t the

only one’s who saw his “alter-ego” in the painting.

Dorian Grey “with the air of a young Greek martyr” (Wilde, 13) is the protagonist

of, The Picture of Dorian Grey. He is a narcissist, who not only portrays self-obsession

but youth as well. “…he was certainly wonderfully handsome, with his finely-curved

scarlet lips, his frank blue eyes, his crisp gold hair.” (12). His beauty not only has an

affect on himself, but Basil as well. Basil feels as if Dorian is, “…a motive in art” (10).

He not only has love for him as a friend, but there is an infatuation throbbing deep inside

for Dorian, “Of course I flatter him dreadfully,” (10). But Dorian’s heart wasn’t in

Basil’s friendship once Lord Henry came about. “He was so unlike Hallward…and he has

such a beautiful voice.” (10). Nevertheless there is some evil in Dorian’s soul that

didn’t appear until the climax, “‘Each of us has Heaven and Hell in him…’” (83). Too

bad there wasn’t a heads-up.

The painting Basil created is to blame. Dorian’s wish, “‘If the picture could

change, and I could be always what I am now!’” (19); was merely a selfish and jealous

wish. Dorian does not want to accept the fact that one day his youth and beauty will not be the topic of discussion. It is true, to be careful what you wish for.

Dorian’s love, Sybil Vane. Another victim to the blindness love has upon the youth. “‘It seemed to me that all my life had been narrowed to one perfect point of rose-colored joy.’” (34).The words Dorian selects for the break up are cruel, obnoxious and shallow just because she isn’t who he wants her to be. “‘You have killed my love.’” (40). Dorian is in love with the roles she portrays in plays, not her as Sybil Vane. “‘…you have spoiled the romance of my life.’” (40). The day Dorian discovers the news of Sybil’s suicide, “He was dazed with horror.” (46). His inner guilt came on to the surface, “‘So I have killed Sybil Vane…’” (47). He might as well have literally killed her because he killed her emotionally.

'A Beautiful Mind' response

A Beautiful Mind is one of the best movies I have ever watched! At first, I thought it wouldn’t be interesting because it was about a mathematician, but I guess I can’t judge a book by its cover. A Beautiful Mind is about a mathematician named John Nash. He wasn’t exactly a student at Princeton University because he only dormed there, he never went to class; “Classes will dull your mind…it will destroy the potential for authentic creativity.” Nash’s roommate, Charles soon became his best friend. He made me laugh by his way of speaking to the woman at the bar, telling her that he wants to have sex with her as soon as possible. But along the way, he married one of his students, Alicia, who he eventually had a child with. One of Nash’s teachers said that he missed too many classes and for him to begin his work as a mathematician, he must write a thesis paper. Nash began work right away and got the inspiration from a woman who was trying to talk to him at a hang-out spot. His thesis paper was going to be about strategies on how to get laid (GENIUS). In his dorm, Nash would lose concentration and become easily distracted. This caused him to become irate and he began to bang his forehead against the window and he began to bleed (INSANITY). Nash was on the lawn of Princeton and he was taking notes on the Algorithm of the pigeon movements. He also drew play diagrams for a football game, pigeons fighting over bread crumbs and a mugging (GENIUS). When Nash lost to a game of Hex with his competition, he became furious and stormed off (MADNESS).

Five years later, Nash somehow works at the Pentagon and then gets a side job as a spy for detective, Parcher, who wants him to crack a code for Russian telecommunication. This is when we find out that Nash has schizophrenia and imagined Parcher and the job as a spy. Nash also imagined his roommate, Charles and his little niece (INSANITY). His paranoia becomes too much to bear for Alicia. She started to feel as if he didn’t love her anymore because he isolated himself. The drugs he had to take caused him to lose his sex drive. Alicia became so infuriated, she threw a glass of water against the mirror in the bathroom and broke it; her screams and tears of frustration joined in unison (INSANITY) and (MADNESS). Nash stopped taking the medication because the side effects would get in the way of satisfying his wife and his work. At the end of the movie, John Nash won a Nobel Prize for his work in a game theory. And he learned to cope with the delusions of seeing Charles, his niece and Detective Parcher, who do not exist.

ARTICLE B Summary

ALICE, HUCK, PINOCCHIO, AND THE BLUE FAIRY:

BODIES REAL AND IMAGINED

Article B, “Alice, Huck, Pinocchio, and The Blue Fairy: Bodies Real and Imagined” is an article comparing, contrasting and summarizing the three famous children’s stories, “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” “The Adventures of Huckleberry Fin” and “The Adventures of Pinocchio: Tales of a Puppet.”

“Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” was written by Lewis Carroll: who was formally known as Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. The article talks about the characters in the story are rude, ugly and have down-putting attitudes. Wonderland is a fantasy world of grown-up authority and power. Rosenthal (the author), insists that Carroll writes about these series of details because he’s relating it to his sexual failure, rather than Alice’s effort to learn about life. Rosenthal said that the long passageway, the locked doors, the key to a little door that opens onto an entrance small to pass through, the changes in size and the Dantean Pool of Tears; are subliminal messages of how Carroll’s sex life didn’t exist. In the books,“Through the Looking Glass” and “What Alice Found There” are basically the same thing as “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” but more intensified.

“The Adventures of Huckleberry Fin” was written by Mark Twain: formally known as Samuel Langhorne Clemens. The article summarizes some of what happened in the story and gives some background information about Huckleberry. He was the son of a drunk, who he hated. Huckleberry worshiped woman and girls and started dressing like one. He soon saw Tom Sawyer as his leader. Rosenthal explained how Huckleberry is the conveyer of Twain’s memories and observations. Rosenthal also said that Huckleberry’s psychological maturing beliefs blend in with Twain’s feelings.

“The Adventures of Pinocchio: Tales of a Puppet” written by Carlo Collodi: formally known as Carlo Lorenzini. The article gives a little summary about what Pinocchio is about and a background of him. His creator is Geppetto and obviously he’s a wooden puppet. Rosenthal compares Huckleberry Fin and Pinocchio, by saying that they are both awakened to compassion. In this story, adult consciousness repressed form is found in children’s literature. Pinocchio’s nose grows for the first time, when Geppetto carves it into existence; Pinocchio didn’t lie. The second time it grows, because Pinocchio is hungry. The third and fourth time, Pinocchio lies to the Blue Fairy then an old man. The ending of the book

The contrast between Pinocchio and Huckleberry Fin is the pressure of death and suffering. Pinocchio handles death only temporarily, after the Blue Fairy’s “supposed” illness and death. Pinocchio’s alter ego, Candleflame also dies and the little donkey who tries to warn Pinocchio. In Huckleberry Fin, his friends, Buck Grangerford and Boggs are shot and Pap Finn died.

Pinocchio’s body has been co-opted, Alice is happy to return back home and Huckleberry Fin is going to be adopted by his Aunt Sally.

A.in.W 1st Draft

Alice in Wonderland

& Regression

The famous children’s book, Alice in Wonderland has a deeper meaning than just imagination. It ties into psychology as well. The main character, Alice displays behavior related to psychology. The famous Sigmund Freud's daughter, Anna Freud, came up with forty-two Defense Mechanisms, but only eight are commonly used (Repression, Denial, Suppression, Displacement, Sublimation, Projection and Intellectualization). Alice’s personality displays an act of a defense mechanism, known as Regression.

In 1936, Anna Freud came up with Defense Mechanisms and published a book called “The Ego & Defense Mechanism," after being a child psychoanalysis for several years before. Anna believes that people, more specifically children, use defense mechanisms to cope with past traumas that happened in their lives. She also believed that children express their internal and external emotions in a creative way, if they were put under pressure. One of many mechanisms that Alice portrays is regression. Regression is when an individual is faced with stressful circumstances, avoids coping techniques and goes back to old habits from earlier in development.

In the book, Alice in Wonderland, the protagonist, Alice falls down a rabbit hole into this imaginary and bizarre world. With talking animals, card-people, and a Queen that’s obsessed with the phrase, "Off with their heads!”

Wonderland may be an exciting yet peculiar world; it leaves Alice to ponder a lot about it. She would ask numerous questions to the Dormouse and . But what was interesting about Alice, is throughout the book, she acted in a childish manner, in the beginning (Regression). Then towards the ending, Alice began to grow up; literally and mentally. She didn't have the little kid mind set she had once she entered Wonderland.

In chapter 1 of the story, Alice was very immature and anxious, the way any normal 7 year old would be. After Alice entered Wonderland, she found a curtain and went through it. Behind the curtain, she found a liquid in a bottle labeled DRINK ME. Alice hesitantly drank it and described the after taste as leaving her with a “curious feeling.” .After Alice drank the liquid, she began to shrink and realized she forgot the golden key on the table, sitting next to the bottle labeled DRINK ME. Being too small to reach it and being that the table’s legs were too slippery for her to climb up them; Alice began to cry. She shows Regression here because since Alice didn’t get what she wanted, she went back to child-like behavior.

In chapter 2, Alice ate the cake she found under the table and grew. She grew so tall her head hit the ceiling. Alice looked through the garden door and wished she could fit through it . Then she began crying again, But she told herself that she should be ashamed of herself and that she has no reason to cry. Here, Alice shows Regression again because she is faced with an unfortunate circumstance that she cannot seem to find the solution to.

Proposal

For my English paper on relating Alice in Wonderland to psychology, I'm going to write about how each character has a defense mechanism and show proof. OR I'm going to write about the psychology of eating and relate that to how Alice always eats and drinks something to become either big or small.

I haven't made my decision yet but it will most likely be the psychology of eating.

Alice In Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland is a very strange story. I love it because it has a lot of imagination and creativity. Apart from the other kid stories, I think Alice in Wonderland is the most unique.

There are a lot of versions of Alice In Wonderland too. Theres the SyFy mini-series ' Alice ' and the book ' Through the Looking Glass ' .

My Bologne Has A First Name...

If someone were to ask me " so tell me about yourself? " I can never come up with something to say. I can't just automatically think of random facts about me and just blurt them out. There is A LOT about me !

For one, I loveee animals. I want to become a Veterinary Technician in a couple of years. I have a dog named Tommy, who means the world to me!
I've been called " a white girl " so many times by so many people I lost count. Which I take as a compliment. All because I don't listen to rap music and act loud and obnoxious, I'm considered "white", well if being called "white" means being classy, than thank you.
My favorite show of all time is LOST. I cried during the last episode. I'm a huge fan of Vampire Diaries, and Pretty Little Liars. I can also watch Lifetime movies for hours.
My best friend is Joey. I hang out with her just about everyday. My other best friend is Ducky. I've known her since 7th grade. I rather have a small group of friends, less of my business is spread.
Ummm.. I'm a Taurus, so that means I'm bipolar. And I analyze everything. I notice a lot of little things around me and about the people I hang out with.
I'm not really a party person. I definitely try to stay away from house parties...I don't know why, I just do. Joey is my party " wing-man" .
