“The Matrix” -- Looking at the Sociological Aspects of the Movie
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the 1999 movie, “The Matrix,” from the viewpoint of determining what is and what is not reality. If one is awakened from what they have assumed to be reality into a new realm, what is to guarantee that the new “reality” truly is real? The movie itself may also be viewed as cultural production in which the most common sociological features of the modern United States -- race, gender, class -- may be considered in terms of what characters, their backgrounds, ethnicity, gender, and attitudes say about the social realities of both the world outside the “matrix” of the movie and the actual social matrix of life in 21st century America. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
