[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 4991126, member: 56035"] hmm thats very interesting. you could be right in part because this is deep art on many levels. maybe theres some connection between people being unthinking copies of each other and extinction level war or environmental destruction. neo doesnt copy himself, and smith does, so one points to a kind of mass consumption and one isnt. i am also sticking to karl marx's argument that unregulated capitalism is a revolutionary force which consumes everything until it consumes itself which im assuming the wachowskis also incorporated into this movie. smith was probably comparable to a virus and the matrix could just be seen as something which was untrue, and so as this virus destroyed the system it became increasingly obvious that what we were doing was wrong. i mean theres likely alot of overlap with communism and american corporatism; you could argue theres alot of unthinking in north america and lack of individuality. i cant recall the story of the animatrix i think the humans started it. but when ur lying to people to exploit them and giving them a :censored:ty representation of life through computer screens ur partially guilty at least. yea i agree smith is like govt and capitalism mixed in, i guess theres a difference between capitalism and corporatism, but even capitalism doesnt cut it for me, and if we didnt have corporatism would capitalism be sustainable? yea the people of zion escaped the matrix so thats a kind of rebellion, but then their numbers got to big, they didnt attack the machines. maybe its comparable to what israel calls "mowing the lawn". im interested in more examples of pathological ideas from you, i had to look up the word.
