The Matrix is ​​a science fiction action film created in 1999 by Andy and Lana Wachowski. The Matrix explores every branch of philosophy with great depth, giving viewers a reason to question the world we live in today. The Matrix trilogy uses philosophical questions to present the question of reality shaped by the film's premise. Plato, an ancient philosopher, attempted to answer this question in the allegory of the cave. The Matrix and the cave analogy both share the main philosophical question of metaphysics, with the continuing questions: “Are we really living in the real world or just an illusion of the real world?” and “What is reality?” Other major philosophical questions evident in The Matrix are ethics: "is it morally acceptable to kill someone to save another person's life?" or “it is worth sacrificing someone's life to save many people”. By studying the political aspect we discover the ethical question: "is it acceptable for the government to hide things from us that we don't want or want to know?" Epistemology is another important ethical question we can perceive in The Matrix: “How do we really know what we know?” and “How do we know our fullest potential has been reached?” Plato's Allegory of the Cave and The Matrix are similar in the way they both give us an understanding of how we can never truly perceive our reality and distinguish between what is real and what is not, showing us how people who live in the world of the Matrix they live as if they were trapped in a cave, without knowing what reality actually is. The real world in the Matrix is ​​a physical reality of humans being controlled and held captive. in what they thought was the reality of machines, where energy is harvested by humans and kept unknown for... half the paper... when it gets tired the spoon doesn't bend. The boy taught him to stop seeing what is solid and start seeing what is not solid soon enough. Neo bent the spoon. A quote from The Matrix: "Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake up from that dream? How would you tell the difference between the dream world and the real world?" -- MorpheusThis is a philosophical question because it explores metaphysics, which is a branch of philosophy. In conclusion, the intriguing science fiction film The Matrix directed by the Wachowskis explores every branch of philosophy with great depth, especially epistemology, ethics and metaphysics giving viewers a reason to question the world we live in Today. Metaphysics is the main philosophical question in the matrix that studies "What is real?" which is also a problem evident in Plato's cave analogy.
