blog 22 . . . . not done.

After watching both films I believe both of them were culturally relevant. In some sort of way they both had their points and differences. In many ways they confused the human reality and proven to us that we don’t know if this is all a game, virtual reality. Many reasons for this is because of the technology we have now. Although I’m pretty sure we aren’t in the matrix or in a virtual game the movies still make us question ourselves and life.
Mentioning my point of view, existenZ was more interesting but the matrix was more culturally relevant in some ways. As they show the pink goo that we are supposedly in, and show the difference between the virtual world and the “real one” In many kinds of way in the matrix its showed that it can be true. An example being how the world we live in now we wouldn’t know if there’s somebody controlling us, or a society of undercover detectives.
As Cynthia does mention I believe the matrix is more culturally relevant especially mentioning the fact that it seem kind of sexist. The world we live in is unfortunally sexist, and although the woman’s have more right then before it still seems as though the man is still in power..
A lot of more human beings would accept playing a “video” game rather than having to make a decision between the blue or the red pill, because people are too afraid of reality. Some would just rather stick to what they are use to even if it’s fake. In ExistenZ the director confused the human being mind. As Cynthia Freeland had mentioned “we feel unable to difference between reality and illusion”. The point of the game was to make it out alive. But after they were out they weren’t sure if the real was real or if they were still in the game. As both of the movies had a few of similarities they were basically saying the same.
Seeing the movie ExistenZ let me understand cynthia’s Freeland’s point of view. Of course the women would have more play in this movie since she was the one that invented the game. Just like her I actually enjoyed watching existenZ more than watching the matrix.
