Abstract
This article analyzes a 1999 film The Matrix, directed by Larry and Andy
Wachowski, in the frame of Plato’s allegory of the cave. In Plato’s allegory of
the cave, this article particularly focuses on the part where the prisoner goes
back to the cave after being released from his chains, in order to let other
prisoners know the truth. Why is the truth important to know and why should
the truth be shared? Why does Neo, the protagonist in The Matrix, have to
liberate others? While trying to answer to the questions, this article examines
the meaning of liberation and truth, through the allegorical connection between
the film and Plato’s allegory of the cave. In order to analyze both the film and
the allegory of the cave, this article delves into Heidegger’s concept of
authenticity.
This article also argues that differentiating hyperreality from reality is not
as simple as the film’s binarism between the matrix and reality represented by
a levitating ship called Nebuchadnezzar. As Heidegger observes that there is
also fire (the truth) in the cave (a false reality), this article includes the matrix
in the realm of reality, rather than defining the matrix as opposing to reality.
