The complete story of the matrix trilogy

Finally began to write my final understanding of The Matrix. I feel that this is a huge project, which requires you to have a lot of extensive knowledge, and my ability is limited after all, so there are also some places where the information is extracted from the information of netizens I agree with (if you feel it necessary to indicate that it is transferred from your information, please let me know and I will definitely add it).

However, my interpretation manual is bound to have many shortcomings (for example, computer is not my major, so there may be mistakes in expression and even understanding), so I hope experts in various knowledge points can correct me.

The Matrix Trilogy is really a huge system, which can't be explained clearly in a few words. For many people who lack or have no relevant knowledge, understanding hacker series is a difficult process. So, write down this order first.

The preface is not only for those who are deeply involved in hacking series, but also for all those who like hacking series. Because there are many things and clues to be expressed later, it is necessary to write a preface first to express my basic views and fundamental starting point.

Trilogy of entering the matrix

"-that's why I can present them with a better world, and that's why they will change their beliefs.

But the world we show them is not real.

This is not a problem.

I'm afraid they will see that those beautiful worlds just come from our brains.

They can't tell. For the artificial brain, isn't all the truth just another simulation? "

This dialogue is quoted from "apostasy" in the animated version, which is a major premise of all kinds of analysis in this paper.

Another premise of my analysis is that neo and smith are * * * identical, and their original body is a robot. Neo is the modified part of robot ai, and smith is the unchangeable part, even a piece of code specially used to modify the code. (The so-called anti-modification code refers to the obstacles set by the software author to prevent his own software from being modified by others. )

The last premise of this paper, which is also very important, is that man is no longer the only master, and there has never been a savior. Anthropocentrism is an absurd argument. Evolution is not necessarily natural selection, but may also be an independent process.

World problems in movies

The Matrix is a program world created by computers, and everyone is a role in computer games. The matrix is like an online game, and ordinary people must abide by the rules of the game. If they want to violate the rules of the game, then the agent (like the network administrator in the game) will intervene.

Why neo became so powerful in The Matrix is because he gained the power of network management just like the players in the game. Why can Smith possess himself first and then copy himself? In online games, the network administrator can actually use any player's account, which is equivalent to possession. And the webmaster has the right to give a player's account the highest authority. If he sees the account, he gives the power to the webmaster. As a result, all players in the game have the highest authority, which is equivalent to Smith copying countless times himself.

In the movie, Zion is called the real world, which is located near the center of the earth. This is the only warm place on earth. (Why, please see the part about the war between machines and people later) The people of Zion lead a hard life. They keep fighting robots to survive. They wear poor and thin clothes, they eat nutrition porridge (it has no taste, just the energy needed to sustain life), and they are facing a precarious life.

But many people in Zion are trying to change all this. They are looking for various ways to try to end the robot's attack on them.

0 1 Machine City

This is the world of robots. It is on the surface. There are pipelines and machinery ruins everywhere, and there are endless farms. Because humans are defeated by robots, and robots don't have solar energy as a lasting energy source, so humans are imprisoned by robots as their batteries. Humans are used as batteries because they can generate bioelectricity of 120 volts and more than 25,000 thermal units, and have the advantages of durability and reproducibility.

Robots put all the people who survived the war in special containers and add many plugs to people to extract electricity. However, people have thoughts, and thoughts will exist as long as they live. Therefore, there is a plug at the back of a person's head. Robots use this plug to let human thoughts enter it and form a virtual world matrix, which makes people not realize that they are locked in a container, but think they are still living in 1999.

However, as long as there are errors in the program, people living in the spiritual world like The Matrix will always find these errors. Therefore, there is an agent (that is, the person equivalent to the network administrator mentioned above) to eliminate those who try to break the matrix rules and eliminate mistakes. And the people of Zion, they tried to save those people that the agents wanted to destroy. Because people who don't trust The Matrix are the people Zion needs.

The war between machines and people

Having said that, we have to talk about the war between robots and people. 2 1 century, that is, in 20XX, human beings invented AI (artificial intelligence), and then the robot race was born. Then there was a war between robots and people, and the war began to win and lose. But later, humans gradually lost. In order to save the defeat, human beings decided to cover the whole sky, because robots rely on solar energy for power supply. Without sunlight, robots have no energy. Man has completely destroyed the sky, and the whole earth is shrouded in boundless darkness. Since then, there are no plants and no living things on the surface, and the earth shows that it is a cold world everywhere. Man needs heat to survive, so he lives near the center of the earth. ) It is no longer humans who rule the earth on the surface of the earth, nor is it any flesh-and-blood creature composed of cells, but robots!

The name problem in the film

The name in the trilogy is a very interesting and worthwhile topic.

First of all, the names of many main characters come from the Bible, especially those who have escaped from their mothers.

Secondly, many people who have a key influence on the plot in the film use the names in ancient Greek fairy tales.

Thirdly, the names of people born and raised in Zion are very strange, and they all use the names of real-world musical instruments, such as link, tank, dozer, lock and so on.

Finally, there are synonymous names, such as Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Architect.

Neo should not be understood as new, but as a new style, that is, it is a new experiment. Secondly, in The Matrix, his name is Thomas. This name is one of the twelve disciples of Jesus. He is a skeptic. He didn't believe that Jesus was dead until the end.

Trinity is neo's boot program, and her explanation has been analyzed by everyone, so I don't need to say it.

Morpheus originally meant dream god. Many people understand it as the connection point between dream and reality, and neo's mentor led him out of his dream. In fact, I think it should be understood that he is a person living in a dream. His sentence "We must go. Although the action is very dangerous, maybe tomorrow is our anniversary, but what is the difference compared with other days! " (I can't remember completely, write down the general meaning) He lives in his own dream and is really fighting for it.

The original meaning of smith in English is: metal maker. It is another neo, an unchangeable part of the machine, even a piece of code dedicated to decompilation.

The Melowenga dynasty established the Gaul Alliance, which meant the first new.

Persephone, the daughter of Zeus, was later married by Pluto. Although she was saved, she lived in hell for six months and on earth for six months. She was the first trinity, and because of Merovingian's failure, she had to be abandoned as an experiment.

The name of the battleship Nebuchadnezzar, Morpheus, originally meant the king of Babylon. The king occupied Jerusalem and built a hanging garden. Its meaning is clear at a glance.

In Greek mythology, Naomi was a human female, and her 14 children were killed because they laughed at the gods who were not as good as her. It should be said here that she was not intimidated by the strength of the robot and faced it bravely.

Bain is a human possessed by Smith, which means curse, the source of destruction and the goddess of vengeance.

Cypher is not an important person (it's not super funny here, this person's surname is reagon, and he thinks the best person in the matrix is an actor, so he wants to be an actor, hahaha, isn't that the same name as the president of the United States)

Oracle Bone Inscriptions means Oracle in Greek and Oracle Bone Inscriptions in China. Oracle Bone Inscriptions's role is to predict the future. Translated as a prophet here.

Architect plays the founder of matrix in the film, just like the original English meaning: architect.

Ramachandra, actually Sanskrit, translated into Ramachandra in Chinese, is the seventh incarnation of Vishnu, one of the three great Hindu gods. Vishnu, also known as the patron saint, is responsible for managing the control program of human reproduction (that is, the general manager of the machine city power plant) in contact with his father's identity, which is self-evident;

Kamala, also in Sanskrit, is translated into Gamorro in Chinese, which comes from Buddhist allusions. It is mentioned in kesaputia Sutra that the Buddha once visited a small town called Chishez in Salo, where the ethnic surname of the residents is Gamorro. When they heard that the Buddha was coming, they went to visit him and said to him, "Dear Lord, some brahmins and monks have come to our village. They only explain and publicize their own doctrines, but despise, criticize and exclude other doctrines. Then there are other Brahma monks, who also explain and publicize their own teachings, but despise, criticize and reject other teachings. But for us, it has always been suspicious and confused. We don't know who is telling the truth and who is lying among these respectable outsiders. " Therefore, the Buddha gave them this admonition: "Yes, Gamoros! Your doubts and confusion are justified; Because for a suspicious thing, you should doubt.

Gamolos.

1, you should be careful not to be influenced by rumors, legends and falling on deaf ears.

2, not according to religious classics,

We should not only rely on reasoning or speculation.

4. Don't just look at the appearance of things.

5. Don't indulge in guessing.

6. Don't believe something just because it seems possible.

7. Don't think like this:' He is our mentor.'

Gamolos. Only when you are sure that something is bad, wrong and evil can you get rid of it ... When you are sure that something is good and beautiful, then you can believe and be followed. "

Sadie's mother's identity is a highly creative system interaction program, and the original meaning of this name is also related to the great significance represented by Sadie herself;

Sadie, Sanskrit means "chaste woman, widow who died and set herself on fire". Martyrdom and self-immolation is the custom of Indian widows who used to burn themselves with firewood at their husbands' funerals in order to fulfill their real wife duties. Do you think it is a bit like the law of program existence in matrix system: programs without "purpose" must be deleted? The wife of the dead husband lost her purpose as a wife at the same time, so only martyrs can "set themselves on fire". Sadie, on the other hand, was protected and finally lived happily in the mother. Doesn't this mean that the past rules of the matrix have been broken? Then contact the Buddha's warning mentioned above:

"... because you should doubt a suspicious thing. "

"... not according to religious books ..."

"... only when you are sure that something is bad, wrong or evil can you get rid of it ... when you are sure that something is good and beautiful, you will believe it. "

This classic moment will become an eternal memory:
