What is the Matrix?



Julian Walker brings a layered and thoughtful comment to the Matrix Trilogy. Quote:

Morpheus explains that Neo has been living in a dream world - that the world (shown now on a TV screen) he has taken as reality is in fact a computer simulation of 200 years ago and then he shows him the world as it is today - a post-apocalyptic wasteland which they now are shown to be sitting in themselves. We come full circle now to Baudrillard as Morpheus intones, “Welcome to the desert of the real.”
