Analyse the following transcript (from the movie Matrix) and provide an appropriate
answer for the questions that follow:
Neo: Morpheus, whats happened to me? What is the place
Morpheus: More important than what is when.
Neo: When?
Morpheus: You believe its the year 1999 when in fact its closer to 2199. I cant tell you exactly
what year it is because we honestly dont know. Theres nothing I can say that will explain it for
you, Neo. Come with me. See for yourself. This is my ship, the Nebuchadnezzar. Its a
hovercraft. This is the main deck. This is the core where we broadcast our pirate signal and hack
into the Matrix. Most of my crew you already know.
(Next Scene: Construct)
Morpheus: This is the construct. Its our loading program. We can load anything from clothing, to
equipment, weapons, training simulations, anything we need.
Neo: Right now were inside a computer program?
Morpheus: Is it really so hard to believe? Your clothes are different. The plugs in your arms and
head are gone. Your hair is changed. Your appearance now is what we call residual self image. It
is the mental projection of your digital self.
Neo: This...this isnt real?
Morpheus: What is real. How do you define real? If youre talking about what you can feel, what
you can smell, what you can taste and see, then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by
your brain. This is the world that you know. The world as it was at the end of the twentieth
century. It exists now only as part of a neural-interactive simulation that we call the Matrix. Youve
been living in a dream world, Neo. This is the world as it exists today. Welcome to the Desert
of the Real. We have only bits and pieces of information but what we know for certain is that at
some point in the early twenty-first century all of mankind was united in celebration. We
marvelled at our own magnificence as we gave birth to AI.
Neo: AI? You mean artificial intelligence?
Morpheus: A singular consciousness that spawned an entire race of machines. We dont know
who struck first, us or them. But we know that it was us that scorched the sky. At the time they
were dependent on solar power and it was believed that they would be unable to survive without
an energy source as abundant as the sun. Throughout human history, we have been dependent
on machines to survive. Fate it seems is not without a sense of irony. The human body generates
more bio-electricity than a 120-volt battery and over 25,000 BTUs of body heat. Combined with a
form of fusion the machines have found all the energy they would ever need. There are fields,
endless fields, where human beings are no longer born, we are grown. For the longest time I
wouldnt believe it, and then I saw the fields with my own eyes. Watch them liquefy the dead so
they could be fed intravenously to the living. And standing there, facing the pure horrifying
precision, I came to realize the obviousness of the truth. What is the Matrix? Control. The Matrix
is a computer generated dream world built to keep us under control in order to change a human
being into this.
Neo: No. I dont believe it. Its not possible.
Morpheus: I didnt say it would be easy, Neo. I just said it would be the truth.
Neo: Stop. Let me out. Let me out. I want out.
