	Wikinfo \| The Matrix series (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Matrix series consists of the trilogy of films - The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, and The Matrix Revolutions - as well as the Animatrix episodes, video games, and other literature, all written and directed by the Wachowski brothers in the same settings.
		The Matrix "universe" first depicted in the 1999 film was expanded into other media, including anime, comics and video games to complete the series.
		Interpretations of The Matrix often reference Baudrillard's philosophy to demonstrate that the movie is an allegory for contemporary experience in a heavily commercialized, media-driven society, especially of the developed countries.

	SparkNotes: The Matrix Trilogy: Philosophical Influences
		Four of the most striking philosophical precedents for the Matrix trilogy are Jean Baudrillard’s Simulacra and Simulation, Plato’s allegory of the cave, Socrates’ visit to the Oracle of Delphi, and the work of Descartes.
		Thus, the entire concept of the Matrix films can be interpreted as a criticism of the unreal consumer culture we live in, a culture that may be distracting us from the reality that we are being exploited by someone or something, just as the machines exploit the humans in the Matrix for bioelectricity.
		Baudrillard’s greatest philosophical influence is Karl Marx, and while the Matrix films do not refer to Marx explicitly, the fact that the inhabitants of the Matrix are exploited by means of an illusion that they all inhabit renders the films closer in spirit to Marx than to any other philosopher.

	SparkNotes: The Matrix Trilogy: Themes, Motifs, and Symbols
		The trilogy suggests that humans need the body, brain, and mind working together simultaneously to stay awake in the world, which, in a way, is a declaration of the power of individuality and humanity.
		The Zion of the Matrix commands not a vast view of land, but is instead buried within the heart of the earth, and though it offers the illusion of safety, in The Matrix Revolutions the enemy infiltrates that safe haven and crashes violently through its borders.
		The Matrix trilogy itself is, of course, three films, and arrangements of threes and references to threes saturate the films.

	The Matrix Trilogy
		Intelligent machines have created the Matrix, a massive computer system representing the world as it was at the end of the twentieth century and the remaining humans are virtual slaves whose only purpose is to power the machinery.
		The Matrix is an intelligent film and the directors have correctly let us know that we live in a world where anything is possible, but their failure to show us a way to resolve our conflicts without violence dilutes the power of their message.
		Meanwhile, outside the Matrix, the last remaining inhabitants in the underground city of Zion prepare to defend themselves against an assault by thousands of machines that are determined to wipe out the human resistance once and from all.
