have you seen the films Lyndon ?Lyndon Ronstadt wrote:I often wonder who funds these anti-establishment movies?
The question is are the sheep being released from their pens by movies such as this (in the belief that they are being freed) simply to be driven into other forms of captivity. Are we being panicked about the power of the establishment - by the establishment? Hence my question on funding.have you seen the films Lyndon ?
Lyndon, this may help release your memory the truth is out there..........but you have to see it for yourself......ledgehammer wrote:have you seen the films Lyndon ?Lyndon Ronstadt wrote:I often wonder who funds these anti-establishment movies?
Have you seen the films, Lyndon?The Matrix remains an icon of cinema, a pop-culture touchstone for a generation and one of the most genre-smashing films to ever come from a major studio. Revelatory, revolutionary, and by far one of the most influential films of the last decade (by a vast margin), The Matrix deservedly slots easily into that oft-touted cliche of “a classicâ€.

I find such films grotesque in their portrayals of supposed facts and, as the grotesque has a negative effect on the human emotions, suspect the motivation behind them.
Ian, indeed there are many films and sci fi series that use that, I.e you think they have woken up but there is a twist in that they are still asleep. the matrix films were great, they took an idea which Is based on some of the Tao and Buddhist ideas and a film called dark city, and translated them into a format everybody can understand. it is by no means a new idea but I personally took a lot from the film, it opened new avenues of thought and creativity. many of the ideas are metaphors I.e chaos / order, neo /agent smith, balance and duality, some great concepts used well. it is a Hollywood production however and the film works to a plot (it has to) and perhaps it is very simplistic (it has to be), it shares features of Hollywood films that you have to look through. the concept if anything has liberated people , especially when the film was released. if there are those who allow themselves to be taken away by the film that is no issue. of the film and has no bearing on my opinion of the film.Ian Pegler wrote:Well, I HAVE seen the movies.
I imediately think of the episode of Red Dwarf called Back to Reality which raises the question, how do you know the world you've "woken up" to after leaving the "matrix", "total immersion video game" (or whatever) is the real world?
One illusiory world might be just as convincing as another. What's your yardstick for deciding which is the real thing?

I already know that they exist. What I asked for was a definition of the phrase and a reason for their existence.ledgehammer wrote:there are a general set if rules that fit the majority. of circumstances (like a default)
Ian , I see the phrase as the definition. They exist In one sense to allow the human race to agree on what is possible, which have many benefits. one could also argue that they are meant to ground and confine, as a control mechanism.Ian Pegler wrote:I already know that they exist.
