Okay. . .that's it. . .posting terms papers should be banned.
no kidding... all he had to say was that his 10 bucks were ill-spent.
so, someone is actually arguing that harris and klebold had their brains fried by this movie and they were not responsible for their actions?
This was practically unreadable and is trying to read waaaaaaaaayyyy too much into these movies.
What a waste of effort.
Perhaps the author would be happier with a hobby. Given the obvious obsession with minutiae, I suggest stamp collecting.
WTF is "marxist anarchy"? Marxism is centralized governmental control of everything. Anarchy is complete chaos and lack of governmental controls. This sentence basically says "It is a leftist philosophy rooted in leftist rightism and political rightism."
Nihilism . n
A diffuse, revolutionary movement of mid 19th-century Russia that scorned authority and tradition and believed in reason, materialism, and radical change in society and government through terrorism and assassination. i.e. chaos, aka anarchy e.g. extreme rightism.
Again, WTF does this mean?
I loved the first movie, the effects were incredible. However, the second and third movies were junk.
I didn't read the article above, I don't think anyone cares about the "hidden codes" anymore, since the trilogy jumped the shark during the sweaty party in the cave. Also, one of the two brothers decided he was a woman.
Sorry I didn't take this seriously enough.
Wheew. I read the entire article. Basically the author points out that Matrix movies show the Asian(Chinese-Hindu-Japanese) Black Bolshevik Zionist conspiracy against the White Christian Western Capitalist world.
Holy shiite, Batman, what the hell is going on here? I almost went blind trying to read this! What is Marxist Anarchism? Last I checked Marxists were all about central state control, and anarchists were all about zero govt. So you lost me there. On another note I thought the 1st Matrix movie sucked, so I never saw the other two. Now I'm gonna have to, just to see if you are full of it or not.
By the way, what grade did you recieve for this term paper?
Time to read first before spewing. The reference to "central state control" means you have obviously confused Leninism(and LaSallean tendencies in the social democratic movement) with Marxist thought, per se. The very question of, and differences in, approaches to the role of the state in accelerating progress towards socialism and then communism is at the heart of deep divisions between parties of the Second International (www.socialistinternational.org), Moscow's Third (now defunct) International, the Trotskyite Fourth International, and Anarchist milieu, etc. There are various tendencies in the "Anarchist" movement as well, from neo-Libertarian to neo-Marxist. This article might help you on the way since it deals, in part, with neo-Marxist anarchist thought..

A board member of the Democratic Socialists of America has cameos in the film and stated in an interview that he was told by the brothers that his books were the inspiration for the series. http://www.freep.com/entertainment/movies/matrix6_20030606.htm
If you think this article was hard to read, try reading Baudrillard and West.

For those longer articles, just do a separate post with brackets in the title that read "Cliff Notes For KoRn" and ping me
;^)
The following comes from the creator of the series Larry Wachowski, who is quoted here (speaking seriously about the "philosophical" inquiry of the films that WB itself promoted).

Larry: Yeah, and he's probably more of a marxist than I am [Ken laughs], in terms of these ideas affecting and informing history...
Reading too much into it?
Here is Larry Wachowski, the creator, quoted on a fan site talking about the films...
