Game Play Simulation

When we say the word play the first thing that comes to mind is a video game, or a play like the one we could go and see in Broadway. In my opinion play means to do something with movement. When we use the word game we mean something active. A thing that we could have fun with for example video games or the games people do when they a child. I know when I see a game because I know how games look like and I also like to play them. Games need a lot of thinking. When we play something we put our brain to work. Simulation is an imitation or presentation we do in our head. When we see a new game, we do not know how to play it. But after we get to know how to play a game we get better and could be able to be an expert.

The Matrix'

I think The Matrix is a really cool film to watch. It makes people think about how the world would look like in many years from now. Since techonolgy is so advance, I think by 3000 the world would look like The Matrix. The film is about people who hack computers. There are many people now who are good hackers and could do anything with a computer. Even steal documents from the goverment if they want. According to the film, the world that we live in is not real. If people really start thinking about this they could also think that this world is not real. In the movie religion is also something strong in which the main characters of the movie believe in. The people in the movie are like computers. They have many programs ability which I think is what makes the movie cool. Fiction is one of the types of films that I like to watch. The Matrix was one of the movies which I always like since I was younger. Even though before I never though about the movie like I am doing now. I never paid attention to the movies that I watch. Allegory of the Cave; Plato is similar to the film. This consist of people who live in a cave since their childhood. They live deep in a cave with their arms and legs tight with a chain. All they see in their whole life is a wall and the imagine of what is out there. But they think its not real. Even though they know the names of the images they see thru the wall, they dont know the real world. Soldiers from the cave could try to scaped and that is when they see what is out there. Compared to the movie; they have similar themes. The film shows that the people live in a matrix which is something not real and the things they do and feel are not real as well. The book also show a world which people are prisoners and are not able to see how the world really looks like. In the film when people join Morpheus group, that is the only time when they get to meet what the world really looks like. One thing I like about the film is the different ways which people fight and how they learn how to fight because of a computer program. I think it is really cool the way they moved and how the camara shows people in slow motion. I would like to watch the second part of the movie. I saw it before but I never got to the real point of it. Now that I analyzed the movie, I think I would know the theme of the movie better than what I did before.
