Claim, The Matrix's message is to have us question the way we precieve things. How quickly is it that we accept something that we are told. Are we content with just seeing things as they are presented to us or do we have the rationality to question if there's more to what appears on the surface. Reason, I supose this due to the similarities I've seen between the Matrix and Plato's allegory of the cave. Evidence, Plato's allegory of the cave illustrates humans precceding from ignorance to the bliss of knowledge. As men are chained in caves, in the Matrix Neo is trapped in a false reality, he's released by Morpheous. After knowing the good, Neo returns to battle the evil that casted the spell of ignorance on humans.
