    In the movie Unbroken directed by Angelina Jolie, there are many obvious differences from the actual factual events that took place. A lot of important details about Louis Zamperini’s life were left out in the movie. There are many reasons for this, which are arguably very important. The three biggest things that were left out of the movie are, the realization that Louis came to about his faith in God, Japanese guards actually treated Louis very well when he first was captured, and Louis actually came face to face with Adolf Hitler.

    Deception is the foundational issue prevalent in The Matrix, Plato’s allegory of the cave, and Rene Descartes meditations. In each of these excerpts the goal of answering the question of what is real and how to uncover the truth is essential. Another question that arises throughout all three excerpts is whether or not the individuals will be able to handle the truth when it is finally learnt. In The Matrix Morpheus reveals to Neo that the life he had previously accepted as an absolute reality is really a virtual reality that is manipulated by a computer which is essentially controlling the mind of every individual as they lie unconscious connected to this computer system. After taking the “red pill” that allows Neo to uncover the truth, he is no longer blinded by this virtual reality. While one may assume Neo would be grateful to be free of this kind of deception, he alternatively experiences a plethora of emotions such as denial, fear, and confusion. After some reflection on these events, Neo finally accepts the truth, but feels burdened by it.…

    In this movie, we are introduced to a world in which machines had imprisoned man into a virtual world called “the matrix”. There the main protagonist “Neo” founds himself living in this world in questioning whether is real or not, and manages to scape with the help of a group of survivors from the real world. Yet the real world was not what he expected, earth was devastated by a long war between man and machines, and what is left of humanity lives in an underground city were the sewers of the old world use to be. We can consider the Matrix to be the cave, and the shadows projected by the fire, it also presents two possible outcomes from finding true knowledge. In the allegory, Plato believes that if an individual manages to escape from the cave it could end up in two ways. The first way indicates that if a man manages to escape the cave, he would be overwhelmed by the light, and the actual shapes of the shadows he saw, “Don’t you think he would be puzzled, and believe what he saw before was truer than what was shown to him?”(Plato pg2) indicating that the individual who got out would have trouble believing the things from outside the cave would be real. In the movie Neo faces the same problem when he is liberated from the matrix believing that the real world was actually a dream. The second way this could end up is if the individual finds himself to overwhelm by the real world to the point that…

    The film is a great representation of what the women had to go though to get the right to vote. It is very accurate to what actually happened in history. Alice Paul led many suffragists in parades, strikes and even picketing the white house. The movie shows what little support they got at first and the hard work they put into making people hear what they had to say and they gave themselves a voice that needed to be heard, it shows that when the NAWSA did not support them that they didn’t give up and kept fighting and make their own association called NWP, it shows the anger they took from people that were not for their movement, it showed how much they can conquer as women, it showed the determination and the passion each woman had for the cause, it shows them getting physically attacked well they protest peacefully and you can just see how much hostility there was for the women…

    Free Will In The Matrix

    • 1423 Words
    • 6 Pages

    The Matrix is set up as a game, the Earth and it's environment acts as the basic program, and the people are the players. The players do not get to make any free will decisions, rather they are ruled by fate. Fate is prewritten for the players by the machines who took over the world so long ago. In the Matrix everything is a virtual reality and nothing can be trusted as one is not ever in control of their life until they escape the game. Neo, when questioned by Morpheus whether he believes in fate responds "'No'...'Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.'" This is part of the reason Neo is the One, he knows from the beginning that he wants to be in control of his decisions and outcome. This differentiates Neo from the rest of the brainwashed people, because he wants there to be opportunity that he has choices to make. It seems that Morpheus is attempting to force fate, as he truly believes that Neo is the One and encourages Neo, Trinity, and all the other crew among the Nebuchadnezzar to believe this too. However, Neo is not the One when he meets Morpheus, and he is not the One until he understands that there is nothing controlling him. Neo has all the free will in the world once he realizes that there are no rules, that everything is a code, and that "there is no spoon". Because Neo is able to open his mind and just let go of all his preconceived notions he shows that he possesses free…

The Invisible War, a hard-hitting investigative documentary, exposes one of the United States’ best-kept secrets: the rape epidemic within the military.

Focusing on victims’ stories and accounts of their attacks, The Invisible War exposes the corruption and secrecy of our government in regards to one of the most under-reported social issues in history. Produced in 2012, the director, Kirby Dick, wished to put…
