Writing a review of The Matrix is a very hard thing for me to do because this film means a lot to me and therefore I want to do the film justice by writing a good review. To tell the truth the first time I saw the film I was enamored by the effects. I remember thinking to myself that this was one of the most visually stunning films I had ever seen in my life. Also having always been a comic book fan and a fan of films that were larger than life, the transitional element of the story was very appealing to me and this probably heightened my enjoyment of the film very much. It wasn't until some time later (and after having seen the film a few times more) that I started to think about the film. I recognized the Christian elements quite quickly but it wasn't until I wrote an actual 15-page essay on the film that I tapped into some of the philosophical and religious elements and that made me appreciate the film even more. I won't say that I have recognized all elements because the film is quite literally packed with them.
Acting wise the film works excellently. I won't say that there aren't any issues because there are but overall the acting is pretty flawless. Keanu Reeves plays the main character, Neo, or Thomas A. Anderson and while he is not the perfect actor I think he does a pretty good job in The Matrix (and the sequels). He doesn't have the longest of lines which was probably a deliberate choice from the directors and it works because this gives him a better opportunity to work on posture and facial expressions and I must say that overall his body language is very good. Very clear and well defined. Laurence Fishbourne plays Neo's mentor Morpheus and he does an excellent job of it. His lines flow with a certain confidence and style that makes his character somewhat unique and interesting. Carrie-Anne Moss does a good job as well and succeeds in looking both cool and sexy in her leather outfit. Joe Pantoliano, a critically underrated actor does a brilliant job of bringing his character, Cypher, to life. I can't say much about him because his character is pretty essential to the plot and I certainly don't wan't to spoil it for anyone. Gloria Foster appears in a relatively *** all role that will have greater significance in the following films and she does a very good job. The best acting is provided by Hugo Weaving, however, in his portrayal of Agent Smith. It is really something to watch him act out the changes in his character. Agent Smith gains some human traits like anger, sense of dread, hate and eventually even a sly sense of humor (mostly in the sequels). Two thumbs way up to Weaving who has created one of the finest screen villains of all time.
Effects wise the film is simply stunning and it deservedly was awarded the Oscar for best effects (and was regrettably cheated out of a nomination in the Best Film category) ahead of even Star Wars. The reason that I think The Matrix deserves the Oscar for best effects is simply that the effects in The Matrix are more innovative than the ones in Star Wars. Just take a look at how many times the effects have been spoofed and you'll probably agree. The effects also help in the symboli *** of the film and in creating a very dystopian atmosphere not unlike the one seen in Blade Runner and this works brilliantly. The film looks beautiful at all times and today 6 years later (my God has it already been 6 years?) the effects still hold their ground against new science fiction films. Add the effects to the brilliant editing and you have a visual masterpiece on your hands. Very well done.
The reason that I think The Matrix is more reviewable than pretty much any other film is the story and the philosophical and religious elements of the story because with every viewing I catch something I didn't see the previous time I watched it. Without spoiling the film I think I can mention a few of the more obvious elements. Obviously the film draws on the Messiah myth as Neo is a clear reference to Jesus with the *** ogy of his name (Neo = one, as in The One) but also hidden in his other name, Thomas A. Anderson. The first part of his last name, Anderson comes from the Greek Andros meaning "man" and combine this with the second part of his last name "son" and add a little creativity you will come up with the combination "son of man" which was a title Jesus came up with about himself. Also the first time we meet Neo a man calls him (and I quote): "You're my Saviour man. My own personal Jesus Christ." It doesn't get any more obvious than that. Aside from the Christianic elements the film also gets its inspiration from Budhi *** , Gnostici *** (Gnosis = knowledge) but is also inspired by Plato and his *** ogy of the Cave and Jean Baudrillard's essay, Simulacra and Simulations. Explaining these elements would make this review go on forever so aside from mentioning them I will not comment on them further.
To all the people who doubt the profound nature of The Matrix I can only give one advice: Free your mind and watch the film again. You won't regret it. If I had to choose a favorite all time film my choice would probably fall on either The Matrix (obviously I don't expect people to agree but if they do thats great) or The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and I recommend it to all fans of sci-fi and people who like philosophy.

观众的评论:
Right there with Seven and Silence of the Lambs for me. I love this film, and rate it a notch above some of the other great action films of our time (i.e., Terminator, Predator) because it has a really well thought out (although moderately unbelievable) story line. A lot of thought provoking material, and some interesting subtleties. I've seen it 10 times (I don't usually watch a movie more than once), and I'll watch it a few more. Enjoy!
剧情给你四个版本的
版本1:During the year 1999, a man named Thomas Anderson lives an ordinary life. He makes a living illegally mostly by computer hacking. Then one day he meets another man by the man of Morpheus. After their friendship develops Morpheus shows him that world Thomas is living is make-believe. At first Thomas does not believe him, but then is shown evidence and also meets with a like-minded woman named Trinity. He is slowly updated from the time the world was disintegrated and wasted, devoid of all natural resources. Then in this wasteland, came android-like humans, machine-made, who enslaved the remainder of the humans. In order to create the perfect world, a fake world is created to fool the humans into believing that everything is alright in their world. Now Thomas, Trinity, and Morpheus must lead the humans to freedom, but will the android-like beings let them? Written by Sumitra (corrected by Sonia)
版本2:Thomas A. Anderson is a man living two lives. By day he is an average computer programmer and by night a malevolent hacker known as Neo. Neo has always questioned his reality but the truth is far beyond his imagination. Neo finds himself targeted by the police when he is contacted by Morpheus, a legendary computer hacker branded a terrorist by the government. Morpheus awakens Neo to the real world, a ravaged wasteland where most of humanity have been captured by a race of machines which live off of their body heat and imprison their minds within an artificial reality known as the Matrix. As a rebel against the machines, Neo must return to the Matrix and confront the agents, super powerful computer programs devoted to snuffing out Neo and the entire human rebellion. Written by redcommander27
版本3:In the near future, a computer hacker named Neo (Keanu Reeves) discovers that all life on Earth may be nothing more than an elaborate facade created by a malevolent cyber-intelligence, for the purpose of placating us while our life essence is "farmed" to fuel the Matrix's campaign of domination in the "real" world. He joins like-minded Rebel warriors Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) and Trinity (Carrie Ann Moss) in their struggle to overthrow the Matrix. Written by Jake Gittes
版本4:Computer hacker Thomas Anderson has lived a relatively ordinary life--in what he thinks is the year 1999--until he is contacted by the enigmatic Morpheus who leads him into the real world. In reality, it is 200 years later, and the world has been laid waste and taken over by advanced artificial intelligence machines. The computers have created a false version of 20th-century life--the "Matrix"--to keep the human slaves satisfied, while the AI machines draw power from the humans. Anderson, pursued constantly by "Agents" (computers who take on human form and infiltrate the Matrix), is hailed as "The One" who will lead the humans to overthrow the machines and reclaim the Earth.

The Matrix: virtual messiah
The most successful use of the messiah-figure in movie-land so far has to be Star Wars, where young Luke 'redeems' that far away galaxy. And of course the narrative arc associated with the messianic character is the monomythic cycle, per Joseph Campbell, whom Lucas supposedly read heavily. Meaning Star Wars was no accident (i.e., was already ingrained into our cultural unconscious). Neither is the Wachowski brothers' (Andy Larry, best know for Bound) The Matrix, which, instead of picking and choosing from the monomyth per Lucas, instead just uses it all, from the 'parentless' birth to the prophesied appearance to the ability to transcend reality. The messiah here even dies and gets reborn, which means, yes, this has all been done before. Thing is, though, it's never been visually-realized so well, from the opening frame on.
It all starts with a nifty little showcase of the Gap-commercial camerawork we know from the trailer, which provides perhaps the best opening-action sequence around, counting Bond. The woman in black is Trinity (sci-fi newbie Carrie-Anne Moss), and, while the special effects do get all the attention, they also serve a second purpose: to make us wonder just how she can pull them off. Meaning there's already a question to be answered, a mystery to be solved, which in narrative terms translates as a compelling reason to move forward. By the end of that opening sequence, we're hooked. And it only gets better (or, the mystery, as all good mysteries must, only deepens).
Cut now to Neo (Keanu Reeves, already at home in the sci-fi future, via Johnny Mnemonic, even Bill Ted), our messiah, a cubicle-sitter by day, minor league computer hacker by night. It's his night job where he really lives, where he hears whisperings of the 'Matrix,' and some shadowy terrorist figure called Morpheus (sci-fi veteran Laurence Fishburne). But whisperings aren't enough: like Kirstun Dunst in Interview with the Vampire, he wants some more. Soon enough he gets it, gets pulled into answering the mind-bending question Donald Sutherland asked a long time ago in Body Snatchers: What if this world is just nested in another world, which is nested in another world, and on and on? He's introduced to the question--introduced to the 'Matrix'--by none other than Morpheus, who dresses it all up like a Through the Looking Glass experience. You almost expect Grace Slick to punctuate the background for us some, but the Wachowski bros. are able to reel it all in nicely, put the white rabbit on someone's arm instead of onto the soundtrack. It all makes sense if you pay just a little attention.
Once you're in on the secret then, (real, or Memorex?) everything shifts into overdrive. Lots of spaghetti-western hero shots, with Neo's overcoat whipping dramatically (see Cage in Face-Off for more shots like this). Lots of gunplay and techtalk. Lots of stepping into and out of realities, per Millennium (1989) or 12 Monkeys. Even a little romance. The Matrix simply has it all, and then some; you'll want to see it twice, at least. And yes, it does get a little gun-heavy for a while, but this is an action film, after all. Slow-motion leadslinging is part of the package. And the spent cartridges never quite rise above story-level, anyway, but not so much because there's not a lot of cartridges to spend, but simply because there's so much story there in the first place. That is what drew us to Star Wars, after all, yes? The Matrix, though not a space opera, is just as good, and has the added bonus of updated effects technology. The only place Star Wars might have a clear advantage, really, is that Lucas didn't tack an unnecessary coda on, where the Wachowski bros did. Minus those four or five seconds at the end, however, The Matrix is the best sci-fi to come along since Bladerunner. Just a lot louder

"Unfortunately, no one can be told what the matrix is, you have to see it for yourself," the radio ads drill. But, I can tell you this..."The Matrix" (the movie) is a winding web of dream vs. reality vs. technological dictatorship. It snatches you in your slumber, then challenges you to see the real world as a dream. It won't insult your intelligence; in fact, like Keanu, you'll spend most of the film trying to figure it out. As for the rest: saliva will be evaporating from your wide open mouth as your jaw lowers at the glass-shattering special effects.
I'm not sure why bullets are necessary to battle power-hunger software; but it sure is cool to watch the empty shells fall to the ground in slow mo. There are the times when the psychedelic, poetic, philosophic dialogue kind of bogs up on itself and there's that lull in the second act ... but nothing that a totally dope butt-woopin' climax can't blast from your memory. Now that's why we go to see action movies!
The plot/concept is almost intricate enough to make you forget that fighting technology with Kung Fu is essentially a silly idea. The acting won't steal the show. It's the careful direction (unique, yet reminiscent of Terry Gilliam, especially in "10 monkeys") and sensitive, creative use of remarkable special effects that will burn this film in your memory. Buckle up!

Robert Zemeckis (of Back to the Future fame) has collected another feather for his cap with his direction of this movie starring Tom Hanks as this childishly naive idiot savant. Though that description of Forrest Gump might be inadequate.
Gump, gifted with a low IQ which lets him be adorably childlike even as he grows up, leads a very charmed life: a mother who loves him immensely and who sleeps with the school principal in order to make sure her child has the best education, a miraculous incident that eliminates the need for him to have braces for his legs, a childhood girlfriend who remains faithful to him till the end, surviving Vietnam with a medal, and, in general, a propensity for turning everything that happens to him into good.
I wonder what the movie is trying to say. From one perspective, it implies that intelligence (as measured by IQs and the general idea of what " *** art" is) is a very unnecessary trait. But I think one can look beyond that and say that childlike innocence, which can be considered stupid, has its rewards. Throughout the movie, Gump is in situations where he is harassed by other people but he never takes offense (except, of course, when his girl Jenny is being abused) at any of the insults thrown at him. He is indeed not completely stupid, even though he is portrayed as such, since he can re-assemble guns at high speed, run like crazy, play ping-pong like a maniac, and so on.
The fact that Gump doesn't take offense, I think, is what keeps him content. He becomes a millionaire, but gives most of the money away. He is honest and open and this, along with his Alabama accent, endears him to the audience. But this gets tiresome after a while (especially after 2 hours). I thought the movie was overly long, but that's the only negative thing I have to say.
Gump rubs elbows with many famous personalities over the last half of the century including Elvis Presley and Nixon, thanks to computer technology (General Dan doesn't really lose his legs either---they are just erased and the background is then touched up by using computer graphics programs). The account of how Gump is responsible for the gyrations that is so characteristic of Presley is very telling of the motives of this movie. Gump is contrasted to the famous males, who are idols (in some cases) in today's society, and it appears as though he is better off in comparison: Gump's choices in life seem to determine his niceness (he goes to Vietnam, keeps his promises ("a promise is a promise"), harbours no ill-feelings or grudges, and is not greedy with fame or money) and successes. Contrast this to the choices his lifetime girl friend Jenny makes: she wants to be famous and rich, but ends up being a druggie. The people she is surrounded by are all of a dubious nature: a sexually-abusive father, a show audience more interested in her naked body than her folk-music playing, and an abusive hippie-boyfriend.
The traditional male heroes that we have had are all dysfunctional in some respect or another and we are lost without heroes, as Bloom points out. Gump is a new kind of a role-model; he's A Nice Boy and everyone knows they're hard to find. As one reviewer said: "Today the last American hero is a Tom Hanks character with a *** all IQ".
Forrest Gump is the runaway hit movie of this summer. Many people claim it gets them in touch with their "inner child". Some reviewers attack it for the view that low IQ is a necessity for maintaining the child-like attitude Gump has. Gump never grows up or matures in the movie. He never becomes a man and remains a boy throughout. It is implied, at least, that his "stupidity" is what allows him to do this. This may or may not be true, but it is just a movie in the end. Most people in his position would not be so fortunate as he. And what about the converse: if you are intelligent, does this mean you cannot be child-like forever? That's not true, and I think Zemeckis did a good job in showing that anyone can retain their inner child as long they never grow up or become mature.

I have never seen a movie like Forrest Gump, which is a magical movie that let me have a deep thought about my life. “Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are gonna get.” That is a significant sentence from Forrest Gump’s mother at the beginning of movie. The film narrates different experience in Forrest Gump’s life continuously to prove this sentence to audience.
Tom Hanks, one of the best world’s actors won Best Actor in this film, is the only and the perfect man portrayed a role Forrest Gump. This film is directed by Robert Zemeck whose films are characterized by an interest in state-of-the-art special effects. Besides, Forrest Gump won six academy awards, including Best Picture, Best Visual Effects, Best Director, and Best Actor. In addition, the movie is with great background music to let the audience having a strong impression.
The film opens with a low IQ man, Forrest Gump, telling his significant historic events in his life to the stranger when he is waiting for a bus. That is one of the most special techniques in this film to connect the different story telling to different audience in the bus station, which make a great effect to emphasize on the theme of this film. The other special technique is that there are two clues in this film: one is Forrest Gump’s life and the other is Jenny’s life. Through contrasting with their different fate, it reflects the phenomenon of U.S at that time.
The one steady thread is Forrest Gump’s love to his mother. Forrest Gump is with his simplicity and innocent but understands everything. Even though Forrest is a “foolish” boy, his mother always encourages him and gives him confidence to face his life. Forrest Gump keeps his mother ‘s words to face all the difficulty events during his life. “Stupid is as stupid does”. Forrest Gump is with his innocent thoughts on what living is all about. He creates his extraordinary life with his “intelligence”.
What is the meaning of outstanding movie? You will get the exactly meaning from the movie Forrest Gump. We have never known what will happen in next minute, but we can make it better with optimistic attitude in our life. I think you do not only have an enjoyable time when you watch this movie, you also have a view on your life through Forrest Gump’s life.

Watching 'Legally Blonde' is almost like falling into a big pink void where fluffy biros and heart-shaped notebooks have for some reason become humorous.
It stars Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods, a sorority girl permanently enveloped in sickening chirpiness. She experiences an all-too-rare moment of deflation when her *** ug knitwear-loving boyfriend Warner (Matthew Davis) dumps her to head for Harvard Law School and find a partner who's 'a Jackie, not a Marilyn'. Given that he calls her 'Pooh bear' – presumably some sort of attempt at enforced endearment – it's probably a narrow escape. Only Elle, ditzy perfume-obsessive that she is, doesn't see things that way.
So, in an effort to win Mr Side-Parting back, she decides to apply for Harvard as well and, wouldn'tcha know it, gets in. Thankfully, this unconvincing romantic hook soon becomes little more than a sub-plot as Elle works her way to the top of the class, skilfully dodges the wandering hands of her Professor, and eventually takes on a legal case of her own. Fittingly, the case involves a US fitness Queen, a camp Central American pool boy, and Raquel Welch.
Like a better-looking female equivalent of Jim Carrey, Witherspoon appears in practically every scene, with only the end credits eventually providing a much-needed breather from her incessant grinning and giggling. Selma Blair, as Warren's newfound girlfriend Vivian, is mean and bitchy yet infinitely preferable to our disgustingly bubbly *** e. Am I wrong to think that?
The movie's one saving grace is that it doesn't take itself at all seriously – but that doesn't necessarily mean it's funny. It's not.

Elle Woods is a big hit on the campus of her sun-drenched Los Angeles college. She's also got the perfect boyfriend in Warner Huntington , a wealthy East Coast blue blood. Fearing that his snooty friends and family will never accept the bubble-headed Elle, however, Warner dumps her before heading off to graduate law school at Harvard University. Determined to win back her man, Elle enrolls in the same imposing institution, quickly becoming an object of scorn and ridicule, especially to Warner's old prep school flame. Despite her penchant for malls, makeup, and tanning, Elle is no dummy and is soon showing elite Ivy League snobs a thing or two about class, self-confidence, and courtroom victory.
I think elle’s success attribute to her confidence,brave,hard-working. Most people won’t do such a crazy thing like elle. Because how could you choose a major you knows a little? It really needs a great courage to do . But elle did. She did her most to get the admission from the harvard unniversity faculty of law. After that she read day and night to catch up with the others. And she was optimistic when she was made fun by others. She face it bravely, then dealt with it. The most important is she believe in herself. She belive that she can make it no matter how hard it is. And she have faith in others as well. This attitude helped her succeed in the case.
I think we should learn from her. First we should rebult our confidence. No one can make you feel inferior without your our accomplishments when we win. With these abilities, a confident person can succeed easily at school or work.Second, when we locate a goal. We should try our best to make it. Hard-working is necessary in the road to success. Third, we should trust other people. Believe is mutural. Only when we trust others, they will tell us the truth.

什么是真实(黑客帝国)影评
"人不能脱离意识来观察物质世界,所以所谓的物质世界只是在我们意识中的真实世界的投影,他不可或缺,同时也并不重要。所以只要黑客帝国里的人类表现的是人类意识,那么他们的世界就是真实的。"
不认同楼上的,通过黑客帝国的电影,更进一步的说明了,人类意识中的世界与真实世界的偏差,通过对人类的脑部影响,可以让人类虚拟的体验一个世界,如果影响的不像电影中那么多,意识中的世界就和现实中的相差无几,不过无论影响多么细微,人类认识的世界始终是大脑加工过后的世界的虚拟映像,也就是说,仅仅通过我们的大脑我们无法真正的认识这个物质世界,只能无限的趋近.当然无限趋近在物理上是可以看作相等的.
我倒是觉得,黑客帝国这部电影,告诉大家,永远不要轻易相信自已的感觉,理性的思考,客观的分析我们身处的世界是大有必要的.

黑客帝国1这部电影的评论
《黑客帝国》之一部讲述的是诞生,一个平凡的 *** 朋克在父爱和情爱的关心下释放了自己的心灵,成了将人类救出虚拟世界的救世主。第二部讲述生活,这个救世主开始怀疑自己存在的价值,探讨起预言和选择的关系,以及人能否掌握自己的命运。第三部讲述死亡和新的开端,在救世主代表的人类和先知代表的机器共同努力下,战胜了计算机病毒的破坏,还给人类和机器一个阴阳共生的和平。
同时,这个三部曲还是一部人类思想的大历史,从一个善恶对立的世界到一个善恶模糊的关系,直到善恶对立完全消失,走向你中有我,我中有你的统一,这正是人类发展的大趋势,先知的阴阳图案耳环正说明了这一点。
《最终战役》讲述的正是中国传统儒道佛三合一的文化,一种以大道为先,放弃欲求,追求“和”的理想。尼奥昏迷在地铁站,引出了印度女孩萨蒂,与此同时,崔尼蒂等人找到梅洛文加,逼他放出尼奥,再次用爱情救了他。先知告诉尼奥,现在只有他才能拯救虚拟和真实的世界,而史密斯是尼奥的反面,随后到来的一群史密斯侵入了先知。锡安正遭到着机器的进攻,被困的逻各斯舰有了消息,米觉尼号带着尼奥一行去帮助尼俄柏。这时,尼奥已经认识到自己应该做什么,于是要求顶着锡安议会的压力,深入机器城市,和机器谈判。尼俄柏知道这是她必须帮助尼奥的时刻,将自己的逻各斯舰交给尼崔二人,让他们尝试改变以前锡安的轮回。但这时,被史密斯附体的拜恩杀了照顾他的医生,潜伏在逻各斯舰上。
接着就是双线叙述,一边是锡安保卫战,志士们各尽其能,其中包括谎报年龄的十六岁少年和英雄家庭的兹。另一边是尼奥和崔尼蒂按照尼奥的预感,深入机器的城市,途中拜恩出现,和他的战斗中,尼奥眼睛瞎了,断灭了最后的感官欺骗,但他却能用心感受到眼前的东西。和众多机器水母的战斗中,崔尼蒂越过黑云看到了太阳,却在逻各斯号到达机器核心的时候,死于机器水母的进攻。锡安的战斗到了最后的关头,人类所有的抵抗方式都用尽,已经准备舍身成仁了。尼奥和机器展开了谈判,要求机器和人类和解,而他将制服史密斯,还两个天地一个太平。在谈判达成的一刻,机器的进攻停止了,墨菲斯知道尼奥成功了,率先放下了武器。
雷雨中,尼奥展开了和史密斯的战斗,这是一个史密斯的世界,作为他对立面的尼奥显然不可能是他的对手,在战斗的最后关头,先知在史密斯体内显灵了,说,“任何事都得有始有终”,尼奥在这一刻悟到了其中玄机,将自己送给史密斯。当史密斯完成了对尼奥的入侵,湮灭就这样到来了,光芒中,两个世界都恢复了平静,机器和人类的共生终于获得了和平。
如果仅仅把《黑客帝国》系列当作特技和神话,难免偏颇,这个故事必须是这样的结局,没有巧合和戏剧,因为“勺子本不存在”,这个故事其实写的是人类的真实历史,而不是好莱坞似的不能实现的梦想。从自然科学的角度上讲,任何封闭系统都用尽它的秩序(低熵),将走向混沌和混乱(高熵),被人类和机器摧残的地球也不是例外,当地球的资源耗尽,人类和机器的共生是唯一的出路:人高度的秩序的思维能量产生低熵,供机器使用,而机器则提供人类生命的基本需要。阿西莫夫的《最后的问题》就有类似的前瞻:人最终将抛弃肉体,靠电脑的帮助建立纯意识的新存在。所以,从这个角度上说,人类的肉体如果必须在母体塔中渡过一生,只要他们知道真相,并且愿意这样做,他们就依旧是自由的。母体和锡安的彻底和平,正是给了人类以自由选择的机会,是要虚幻的快乐还是要真实的荒漠,他们可以自由选择,彼此尊重这种选择,这才是真正的自由。和这种自由比起来,老版本的锡安总是要把所有的人都放到荒芜的地球上,这其实和母体对人的奴役本质上并无区别。
从天地大道上来理解,崔尼蒂的死也是必然。她代表的是西方的基督教文明,是一种二元对立,“不是东风压倒西风,就是西风压倒东风”的力量,这种力量只能造成机器和人的玉石俱焚,她选择听从尼奥,不是出于她的世界观,而是出于爱情。建立在爱的基础上的基督教,如果从佛教的观点来看是不全面的,是“有漏”的,“有漏皆苦”,她最后必定要用自己的生命来承担这种苦果,所以她走不到最后一步。尼奥也必须抛开爱情的力量,怀着对天下的慈悲,容天下难容之事——史密斯,这才能笑天下可笑之人——那些眼巴巴等着人类征服机器的观众。看看他们乘的船吧,逻各斯号,就是逻辑,是希腊文明最辉煌的成果,就这样,一个西方和华人的混血儿,在希腊和基督教两大文明的帮助下,走到了这个世界最核心的智慧——和解。
北宋思想家张载有言,“有像斯有对,对必反其为,有反斯有仇,仇必和而解”。先知说史密斯是尼奥的相反面,不是说他们是正负数的关系,占据很大镜头的阴阳耳环其实已经说的很明白,尼奥为阳,史密斯为阴,本是相生相克的,对立在统一之下。《重装上阵》中尼奥收到的那把勺子已经在说,勺子不存在,人和机器本来就应该是统一的,本就不该有战争。所以最后的结果只能是“仇必和而解”。最后,史密斯进入了尼奥,这是在说,现在,他们你中有我,我中有你,于是一切矛盾都解决了。
《黑客帝国》三部曲从奴役和仇恨开始,首先讲述的是犹太和基督教的历史,是善和恶的完全对立,是上帝和撒旦你死我活的较量。电影设定的场景却是希腊化的,是柏拉图的“洞穴寓言”,讲述人如何定义真实,如何发现真实。尼奥成为救世主,是依赖着基督教最有力的爱的力量,所以那一刻,当尼奥在伊人一吻中复活,他成了基督教的救世主。
《重装上阵》则是存在主义的故事,这是一个“上帝死了”的时代,超人开始怀疑存在的意义。这也是善和恶对立的模糊阶段,如同加缪的文学,不是善恶的对立,而是光明和黑暗的对立,其界线是模糊的。同时,尼奥面对的困惑也是郭靖的困惑,究竟什么能判定好与坏?如果自由就是好的,那史密斯的破坏性该怎么看待?存在主义认为,人的自由是选择的自由,不一定是选择有所为,也可以选择无所为,无为比有为更自由,因为无为不会冒犯别人的有为。所以,尼奥在《最终战役》中没有接受先知的糖,做了和第二集相反的决定。
存在主义发展到后来,给西方世界开的药方是东方文明,这就是第三集的基础。梁漱溟认为人类文明对待“意欲”的态度有三条道路,之一条是奋斗,求意欲的满足,这是西方的道路;第二条是意欲的自我调整,适可而止,中庸之道,这是中国儒家和道家的道路;第三条是意欲的限制和消灭,是佛教的道路。这三条路本无好坏,只是个时间的问题,中国和佛教太超前,所以当人还希望满足意欲的时代,这两条路都不可能成为主流。但时代会改变,人终究能自觉意识到对待意欲的态度必须改变,这时候,儒和道的时代才能来到,这以后,将是佛的时代。电影从一开始就贯穿了佛教的态度,但人类的实际行为却告诉我们这个断灭欲望的时代远未来到,就只有中国的中庸之道才是解决眼下战斗的办法。这个中庸,不是如一些观众认为的向好莱坞的妥协,而是天地大道。
尼奥意识到自己和史密斯本来就是一体,缺了任何一方都将是对整个世界的摧残和生灵的涂炭。没有尼奥,机器的霸权将大行其道,没有史密斯,人类将尽一切可能战胜机器,他们本来就是互相牵制的一体,所以最后必须是二者合一,湮灭也好,混合也好,最后尼奥活不活已经不是问题,关键是他已经开创了一个新的时代。
从电影院出来,我感受到的是一种释然,这是一部我所看过的最真诚的电影,最沉重也最感动。它是这样深刻地震撼着我们的心灵,任何人都能从中找到属于自己的东西,所以我怀着这样的崇敬之情,撰写了《解码@黑客帝国》一书,让沃卓斯基兄弟赞美的中国人所知晓他们的慈悲。
在一片生机盎然的草地上,建筑师决定给人类自由选择的权利,先知的和平信念得到了实现。我们看到的是白发苍苍的白人和象征人类最原始力量的黑人,他们已经完成了自己的使命,站在他们身边的是正当壮年的中国人,搀着尚年幼的印度人——这个祥和的图景,已经说明了一切
