Describe & Discuss interpretations on what the Matrix is?

Have you ever had a dream Neo, that you were so sure was real what if you were unable to wake from that dream, how would you know the difference between the real world and the dream world- Morpheus this has a lot to do with Descartes Method of Doubt which involves treating your former beliefs as if they were false (beginning with those acquired through the five senses) i.e. you should only believe something if you are absolutely certain that it is true, the slightest doubt about its truth should be sufficient to reject it. This theory relates a lot to the Matrix because in the movie Neo had once stated that sometimes he has not been able to distinguish the difference between when he is awake and he is dreaming which leads Neo to the question (what is the Matrix) which drives him to look for answer, he found part of the answer which is Morpheus. Morpheus has the mind-set of a philosopher/ sceptic on a quest to open the minds of others who are the opposite of him or Neo I have come to this conclusion because he uses reason gain and gives others knowledge about the world around them. Neo has the attitude of a common sense realist because he takes what he sees as the truth nothing more, nothing less because he is expects to wake up and when he does he accepts what he sees. When he enters Nebuchadnezzar crew and starts the agent training programme he doesn’t open his mind to what Morpheus has to show him since ignorance of not wanting to free his mind made him give up and not want to believe what Morpheus had to show him, but he soon let go of fear, doubt and disbelief and began to believe and when he came totally close to believing when he sees the little boy bending the spoon and is amazed and then the little says do not try to bend the spoon that is impossible, only try to realise the truth, that there is no spoon, then you’ll see it is the spoon that bends, it is yourself. Neo bends the spoon that tells us he is beginning to free his mind and starting to believe he was living in a dream world and maybe he just now starting to experience real life with a tabula rasa given to him by Morpheus he then acknowledges that none of the things he experienced in the life he mistook for reality was real the life he has just begun is the real deal.
