Power of choice

On the surface, because people can choose, there may be masters of our destiny, it is Sartre's point of view, however, another word is good enough for Sartre is "context", all options are inseparable from the context -
Neo in "MATRIX "Facing painful choices many times in ": At first, in the building, he had to choose to jump through the window to escape or turn his head to be caught; later, in Trinity’s car, he had to choose to leave or stay; With the red and blue pills, it is another choice. This is a choice without looking back.
So, in that real world that needed a "savior and a new order", Neo was told to be a "savior", and in silence and doubt, he began to receive Morpheus' training. Of course, after the emergence of this savior, "Judas" and the traitor who doubted the real and harsh life also appeared, and then the ancient betrayal, suffering, and resurrection... In
"MATRIX-RELOADED", Neo returns Zian—Zian, the residence chosen by Jehovah in the Bible, another name for Jerusalem, the last fortress of mankind—Here, Neo sees a crowd holding various gifts, staring at the “Savior” with trust and begging eyes, requesting He takes care of his relatives. Trinity left: "They need you", "But I need you!" He was still a mortal.
Murphys took the stage to give a speech, his tone was passionate, and the crowd cheered, Zian writhing in the bronze skin and crystal clear sweat, the collective madness permeated everywhere. The camera moves to the depths of the picture, Neo and Trinity curl up and have sex in the world of the two. He is still full of nightmares and fears-in the dream, he lost his only love and fell completely alone.
The role of Murphys is actually a prophet. His mission is to speak and help the emergence of the "Messiah". This role is similar to that of John the Baptist in the Bible: "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world."
Under the guidance of Murphys, Neo finally came to the source and met the god-like designer. However, Neo still lacks the sense of God's mission at this time. He made a choice between two doors-to give up Zian, give up being the savior, what he wants to save is his lover. In "The Last Temptation of Christ", we heard the same voice: "I want Magdalene. Not a human being, not a human kingdom!" "MATRIX" took another step forward. The designer told Neo that he and Shang The difference between several generations of programs is that emotions have become a new intelligent factor and are included in the framework of program design-emotions have a purpose as well-Neo's choice is still no other choice.
In "MATRIX-REVOLUTION", Zian is at stake. Neo cannot let Zian be destroyed. He finally confirms his mission. He asked for a spaceship, rushed to the machine city, and the cross began to be built.
Smith blinded Neo's eyes and sarcastically said: "Blind savior." (This line can be regarded as a relatively cruel line in movie history) Then, Trinity died, and Neo finally fell into complete solitude. . The cross has stood high in front of him. He and the head of the machine city reached an agreement to eliminate Smith. As if iron nails pierced into Jesus' hands and feet, Neo's body was also pierced and held high by the cold tentacles of a robotic octopus. He completely abandoned his body-he failed in the fierce battle of MATRIX, and his body was completely occupied by Smith, just like Jesus. Having given up his own blood and flesh, the mission of the savior must be accomplished by giving up his own life. The last shot belonging to Neo was of him lying flat, with both hands stretched out, and slowly being sent to the dark depths of the machine city. Neo died, maintaining the posture of Christ on the cross. The chant is flying high, and the robotic squid quietly retreats from Zian.
The most fascinating thing about "MATRIX" is that he interprets the most essential cultural themes of the West, and the way it is so modern. There is a perfect interface between the ancient Christian thought and the new-fashioned virtual theory, image technology, comic culture, and entertainment industry. Perhaps this is the most enviable part of Western culture, especially American culture-in China, the connection and docking with traditional culture has become an increasingly impossible task. There has never been such an era in China’s history. Tradition presents such a state of ignorance, and uses "fearless" spirit, vulgar imagination and commercial excuses to blaspheme its own tradition-I am talking about movies such as "Ambush on Ten Sides", and it is flooded with screens and cannot bear to witness The costume TV series!
