The Matix - Man vs Machine


A movie about the machines against the humans.

The movie depicts what will be the condition of the humans when the machines take control over us. Neo, a hacker tries to contemplate cryptic references about the "Matrix". Trinity, another hacker finds
Neo and tells him that a man named Morpheus can help him. As every good thing has a bad thing associated with it, there is a clan headed by a guy called Agent Smith who is destined to destroy Morpheus and his followers. Why? Well, apparently, this is set in the world 2199 where the machines invented in the 21st century have taken over the world. That is, humans' harvested energy is used by these machines(which are like humans in the form) to operate in the real world. Morpheus tries to free them all and in the process convinces Neo to take a red pill and enter a ship called Nebuchadnezzar.
The main aim of Morphes is to unplug the humans who are being used as a source of energy for the machines and join them in his rebellion against the machines. In this process, he comes to a conclusion that Neo is the one who can end the war and make them all free agin just as he wanted.
They soon visit the Oracle to know the truth or rather to hear the prophecy. The oracle tells Neo that he is not the one and that he has to choose between Morpheus' life and his.
Soon a guy named Cypher, a member of the rebellion betrays them for money and a return to the matrix. Morpheus is caught by Agent Smith and he lets Neo and the others escape. Morpheus is drugged and all the codes to access the refuge in the real world is obtained by Agent Smith and his crew and they start destroying it. Meanwhile Neo uses his hacking knowledge and manipulates the Matrix and somehow finds Morpheus and rescues him. Morpheus and trinity use a phone and return to the real world. The body(machine) of Neo is ambushed by Agent Smith and at first Neo fights him but then is killed by Smith.
In the real world, Trinity knows that Neo is the one and so she brings him back to life by kissing him. In the end Neo promises that he will free all the people caught up in the matrix.
This film is one of the best I have ever seen and is definitely worth a watch. It definitely depicts the fight that man and environment(here, the machines) encounter. It was man's own mistake that he created that powerful machines that rose up to destroy mankind itself. We could bring about changes in technology but not to the extent that it controls us and eventually kills us.
