Is matrix a fiction or non-friction? does it really exist?

Question

Is there any evidence to prove Matrix existed? Is the movie real? or is it just a fiction?

Answer 1

Yeah, its fiction. Unless that's what they want us to believe.

Answer 2

The Matrix is an apt analogy of "seeing through the illusion." However, after I watched it again for the first time in a couple years last night, I realized that it falls short in a way, as it only creates a standoff, a once-removed reality. Its point about the struggle for survival underneath a comfortable illusion is well-taken, and its point about fulfillment of destiny being a matter of choices and actions as much as it is about prophecy is also well done. These things are truth, albeit in different guises than the Matrix secondary reality. But, in reality, there is a second removal. "The Matrix," as a movie cannot tell you who you are. The reality is elsewhere, but it does suggest the way down the rabbit hole, the suggestion that this primary world, through the lens of the secondary "Matrix" world , has its own underlying hidden "true primary" world. But if you take it so far, then you might be tempted to peel away all the layers and leave any objective reality behind.

I have not watched the second or third movies and so I cannot comment on them. But I think the world is well-constructed and tells many truths that we only have to open our eyes to in this primary world. If you're asking "what is the Matrix?" then it seems you're wanting to take the red pill...but isn't the blue pill seductive, with its comfort zone and "ignorance is bliss" way of life? Sure it's real, but perhaps not in the way one might imagine.

P.S. It is interesting that you ask if there's any evidence that the matrix is real. Didn't Morpheus say that no one could tell you, that you would have to experience it for yourself? You could cite lots of evidence that was suggestive, much like Neo's Deja Vu experience with the cat, but how you interpret it would be open to dispute. It could not be used as scientific evidence, since the institution of science is based inside the posited "matrix," and is thus dependent and anything outside its purview would not be provable, having no common frame of reference as it would. So you could chase the paranormal or theoretical physics or what have you, but you could not prove the existence of the Matrix through them.

Answer 3

Science fiction. But like most science fiction, it's an allegory of sorts. There's a lesson to be learned in there. (I'm talking only about the 1st movie... the other ones sucked.)

Answer 4

possibly
