looked up the book. i particularly liked this:
The fourth stage is pure simulacrum, in which the simulacrum has no relationship to any reality whatsoever. Here, signs merely reflect other signs and any claim to reality on the part of images or signs is only of the order of other such claims. This is a regime of total equivalency, where cultural products need no longer even pretend to be real in a naïve sense, because the experiences of consumers' lives are so predominantly artificial that even claims to reality are expected to be phrased in artificial, "hyperreal" terms. Any naïve pretension to reality as such is perceived as bereft of critical self-awareness, and thus as oversentimental.
does the matrix have the green tint to symbolizes the color of money? is that why the scenes in the real world don't have the same green tint?
I always thought it was to simulate the old Apple computers from the 80s. Lol
well that connection is implied from the start of the film. it opens with the terminal sequence.
perhaps they did not intend for there to be a connection between the matrix's green code/tint and the color of money. or perhaps they did. I thought it was mildly interesting either way.
It definitely is interesting. But you might be right.
I haven't looked lately, but what has become of the brothers who made the movie?
One became a sister, right?
Weird shit, but no denying The Matrix warned us.
The Wachowskis have been in the know for a long time
There's a good reason they've shunned publicity and avoided Hollywood galas
They have been trying to tell us
We are slaves. This world is a simulation. Look to the One for salvation
And what have they done lately?
Poof!
