The Philosophy of the Matrix Day 1

Considering the fact I have never seen this movie before and have extremely limited knowledge concerning the movie, my notes were mainly questions.

How does the Matrix give people the ability to defy gravity, time and death?
How did Neo already know about Morpheus?
The agents are the enemy, but are they the bad guys?

  1. WOW! YOU IS PSYCHIC!! I don't think defying death was mentioned yet, but it will be a major part later on.

  2. In the movie Morpheus told Neo that the Matrix was the world blinding him from "tuth" and that Ne is some sort of prisoner in his own world, so i dont see how that could give someone the ability to defy gravity.

  3. Well these people are machines so pretty much they are going ot be stronger and fast to be able to jump higher, longer and do lots of things humans can as u ssaw in that first scene of the movie on the roof tops. I think the matrix does give them the power of using gravity to there power because of there god like machine bodies.
