in the movie i think the matrix is just the world we want it to be. they said it was the world in our minds, that we’re not really there, it’s just what we think it is and that the real world is oblvious to us. i understand it way more than i can explain it, but i do get it. i can explain it, but i’d say that reality is whatever you think reality is. that’s what the blue pill, red pill is all about i think. if you took the red pill, then you’d find out that what you thought was reality really isn’t and that the world is basically destroyed so we must create our own better one in our minds. but the blue pill lets you go back to thinking that your reality is the real reality and you can go on about your business. i have no idea.

so the matrix is the alternate reality, or what is in the person’s mind and only that. it includes all the sounds, sights, smells, and whatnot, and to most people, it’s all they know, but the crew on the nebuchadnezzar are the ones who try to let people know the real deal, that everything is not real, that everything is just in their imagination. that they’re being manipulated and controlled by a much higher power.

if neo means new, than his character must be the start of a new way to fight off the agents and a new way of life for all those who don’t yet know about the matrix. he’s caused the beginning of hope for the rest of the world and probably the continuation of the ship. morpheus means he who shapes which makes total sense because in the movie, he guided all of them into being the best they could, and helping to save the world (i guess). he definitely shaped neo into believing in himself and tank even said that he was like a father to them. if trinity means threefold, i’m not really sure how that applies to the movie. anyways, zion means uncertain or dry place which does describe the actuality of the world outside the matrix. it’s deserted, and filled with robots and sleeping humans, so there’s no real life to it except for the people on the ship. it doesn’t sound like a good place to be.
