Blog: 24 final draft

What is a Coppertop? A coppertop is a strong battery, long-lasting alkaline batteries. We are catalyze as a coppertop because on how we are dependent on the system. Martine A. Danahay and David Reider argue that “The Matrix” is not a revolution and that the director use lots of tricks to make us be in the Matrix. I will have to disagree with that claim. The director did a really good job on how to present this movie and make his viewer rate this movie as one of most cinematic film. In my opinion, movie the Matrix the tricks are social class. Our mind is built in the system that we are blind from the truth.

According to Danahay and Reider in the book (pg 219),“This would make the human race in The Matrix a class of workers, the agent, and the guardians of capital”. I agree with this statement because in the film agent wants to have all the power and want to destroy all mankind. The characters are ordinary people finding the truth in which they been living in a lie and being plugged into the Matrix is getting power form a plant. Neo is “the one” which represent as a super hero, who is fighting break free from machine and agents who is trying to take over the world. However, according to author I also came across something I disagree with (pg 222), “ the Matrix is a dream world whose purpose is to control us”. In my opinion the Matrix is real because if you die in comeback in the Matrix you really die in human from.

There are some movies that can be compared to the Matrix but “Sleep Dealer” is a good movie to compare to the Matrix. “Sleep Dealer” is a Mexican production movie, which is interesting and easy to understand. The “Sleep Dealer “is about a young man name Memo living in the country side of Mexico on a milpa in Santa. Memo father was a framer. After his father gets murdered Memo went on a journey to help support his family and came across something unusual. Memo wanted to find out how the reason his father got murdered. However, both movies have the similarities in being plug into another world. The only difference is when you inter the Matrix you are still in human from and the metal piece is not in there back of there heads. Neo is “the one” saving Zion from machines that is trying to destroy them. In “Sleep Dealer” when Memo is plug in he is not a super hero. He is a robot from and working as a contraction worker.

Both of the movies have different story lines. Neo is a from of super hero fighting to save Zion and Memo is a contraction worker trying in militarized world and to find a better life style for his people. In the Matrix Neo wanted to know what is in the other side in the computer which he get his answer it was to much for him to handle and title was as “the one”. “Sleep Dealer” Memo wanted to be free because they was catalyze as terrorist. and they just want to have fresh water again. In the film they both show how technology is taking over. The way “Sleep Dealer” put class, work and technology as people who are low-middle class people who are trying to make living working in sleep dealer. Neo and Memo wanted to know answer, which they did. They both won the won the comeback and were successful.

In conclusion, technology is taking over and these movie are giving a heads up just to be inform in what is going to happen.
