Plato/Matrix

[nife4]

Man, I have a report due tomorrow on Plato, and as I'm reading, I come across a web site about the Matrix/Plato

I knew that movie had some biblical references and what not, but to go into Plato and other philosophical ideas... wow...

Plato is actually interesting too... His theory of ideas/forms is mind boggling...
Oh... and I hate English reports....

It tells of how Plato believes you see the real world after gaining the knowledge to see it, and how, like Neo, you must realize that what you see now is just imitations of the real world... etc... man... I really need to finish this report...
