setsuko Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 I actually saw all nine Animatrix episodes with a bunch of friends today. The quality of the scrips were... well, incredibly uneven, but some episodes were really good, the first one had truly remarkable CG graphics, and there were also a few interesting drawing styles thrown into some of the other episodes. I guess some 6 out of 9 was really worth seeing, so thumbs of from setsuko (who's usually not that impressed by the Matrix's brand of teenage philosophy).

The matrix is so deep that half of the adults don't get it... The whole "Ooh, maybe what we see is not for real!? Maybe there is something else! Wow!" is not a very advanced philosophy. What I mean is, that it is common for persons age 14-17 to think that they are very original when they express this idea, when fact is that the philosophy was pretty much ironed out by Plato in 400 BC, and very little has been added to it since then, and The Matrix brings even less to the table than most other new versions. (Plato's idea-world. That the world we see is only a mere shadow (or even a projection) of the 'real' world, the idea-world. So, the chair you sit on is merely a shadow of the idea 'chair', meaning that nothing you'll see or experience is for real, only a shadow of reality.) It is the very simplest existentialistic philosophy out there, and frankly, one of the least advanced ones. Even though this, it is regarded by all persons who are young and new to philosophy (i.e. most often teenagers) as something groundbreaking and new, while most of my 20+ friends would simply shrug their shoulders and say 'yeah, Plato said so'. And since I only see teenagers being awed by this 'merely 2000 year old' philosophy, I refer to it as a teenager philosophy. Mind you, this is not necessarily a derogatory term. It's just that being amazed by it is only possible if you are at the very start of becoming interested in philosophy, and who are that, most usually? Teenagers. Mind you, I think the philosophy fits for the Matrix theme. So I'm not dissing Matrix (even though I prefer more realistic fighting action). However, to say that Matrix put even one shard of freshnenss to the scene of philosophy is not true. And no. Plato, and the Matrix, is not deep. Wittgenstein is deep.

Jackrabbit Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 OMG set, what did you do to his eyes!? Are they going to put the rest of the Animatrix up for download, or will I have to "buy" them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
