The Meatrix
Moopheus: "Have you heard of the Meatrix?"
Leo: "The Meatrix?"
Moopheus: "Do you want to know, what IT is?"
Leo: "Okay."
Leo's lack of enthusiam to learn about the Meatrix reminds me of people who seem to be just going with the flow. Like some people, they go to math and science class because they have to fill up the hours of school. Even though they think it is a waste of their time, they do not do anything about it. Similarly, when it comes to choosing what kinds of food are healthy, people also go with the flow. If someone reliable says something is healthy, then people will also say it is healthy, not knowing what makes it healthy. Also, when Leo was nervous to take the red pill, it reminded me of people who are afraid to break free from their comfortable world to learn about the truth. Like when we were learning about the American Way of Life, I did not think that America had such a dark side but what we learned did make sense and the truth is the truth.
The Meatrix II: Revolting
The way that Leo was deceived into thinking that family farmers can stand against large corporations is how most Americans are deceived. People think that cows are let loose to eat grass and that there are people milking the cows. What is really going on is that there are machines extracting the food and unnatural substances added into the food. If you pay attention to the setting, particularly the color of the skies, it changes from a bright blue to a dull color when corporations took over. It seems as if the color change symbolizes corporations poisoning the environment, the food, and the animals.
