Blog 24 :-)

What is a Coppertop? A coppertop is a battery that has to heads on top. 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 director use lots of tricks to make us be in the Matrix. I will have to agree with that claim. In my opinion, movie the Matrix the tricks are social class.
According to Danahay and Reider in the book “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 the character are ordinary people finding the truth in which they been living in a lie. Neo is “the one” who is fighting break free from machine, who is trying to take over the world.
There are some movies that can be comparing 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 said of Mexico on a milpa in Santa. Memo father was a framer. After his father gets murdered he went on a journey to help support his family and came across something unusual. Memo wanted to find out how is 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 Neo is saving Zion from machines that are trying to destroy them. In “Sleep Dealer” when Memo is plug in he is not a super hero. He is a robot and working as a contraction worker.
Both of the movies have different story lines. Neo is a 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 and title as “the one”. “Sleep Dealer” Memo wanted to be free and his people to have fresh water again. In the film they both show how technology is taking. 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.
