Episode 182: I Know Kung Fu | The Matrix, Plato's The Cave & The Old Testament

Do not try to bend the spoon…first realize the truth…there is no spoon…then you will see it is not the spoon that bends, but merely yourself. Derek and Laurel are back discussing the 1999 Sci-fi masterpiece smash hit, The Matrix. How does the movie hold up and what new themes can be learned as we dissect Neo tumbling down the rabbit hole and landing in the desert of the real? If it's the question that drives us, what questions should we be asking of this movie? What is real anyhow? We dissect the symbols and allegories within this wonderful movie and relate them back to Plato’s Republic, the Old Testament.
