The Matrix

In the film, The Matrix, many characters are viewed as real and many are viewed as "unreal," or those living inside the faux world that the matrix has created. When I reflect on the film, however, it is hard to tell between who actually is a real person and who is a matrix bound human, even when the characters reveal themselves as their true person. For me, I believe that almost every person in the movie is a real person besides Agent Smith. He is a part of the machine; a computer that's sole objective is to stop anybody who tries to defy the rules. This sets him up as a virus in the other movies, so basically he isn't real. The other characters in the movie are; whether they are in the matrix or not, the people are still people. They are living in a world created by the machines, they are still humans. It is kind of weird, but it makes sense (even if it's only to me).
