“The Matrix” is a science fiction movie from 1996. It’s about how humans are “enslaved” in a world called the matrix making them believe they live a normal life in the real world. Neo a computer hacker is freed by a group of people rebelling against this computerized controlled world. Freedom is a philosophical theme that “The Matrix” connects to. In “the Matrix” the main reason that Neo and the others are rebelling against the Matrix is because they believe they have no freedom. Morpheus the leader of the group explained to Neo that “… a man born inside who had the ability to change whatever he wanted, to remake the Matrix as he saw fit. It was he who freed the first of us, taught us the truth: As long as the Matrix exists the human race will never be free.” Demonstrating that he thought the matrix was a jail and no one was free. Also, agent Smith,who was fighting against Morpheus and Neo, even said himself “hate this place, this zoo, this prison, this reality, whatever you want to call it. I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell. If there is such a thing. I feel... saturated by it. I can taste your stink. And every time I do I feel I have somehow been infected by it, it's repulsive. I must get out of here. I must get free and in this mind is the key, my key.” He feels as if he is not free also. In “the matrix” a philosophical topic that connects to the movie is freedom because practically there’s a group of people rebelling against is because the believe they aren’t free.
