Why does anyone want to get out of the Matrix anyway?

So you are in a make belive world.. so what?

I mean, its either stay in your little fantasy world, not knowing a darn thing about what is going on, or, escape from your happy existance and go back to an Earth competely vaporized and burt to a crisp.

 
another one of these, huh?

and might i point out that some people would rather live in a harsh reality than in blissful ignorance.
 
most people do want to live in the little fantasy of the matrix. it's called religion, and it's great for making up crap to make you feel better. jesus christ is agent smith.

Last time I watched, Smith did not encourage NEO to love his neighbor.
 
It's stuff like this that prompted XZeroII's thread the other day, in which several posters tried to make him look like an idiot, claiming that this kind of thing just doesn't happen.

haha that sure gave me a smile 🙂
 
well, if you watched the movie carefully, the architect said that they are looking into other forms of power generation. so that means if they find it, then humans would be useless.

btw, what do they need all those power for?they don't need that much power to run the sentinals and to run the human power plants.

Actually some of the ideas in the Matrix came from a philosopher name Rene Decarte, one of great thinkers in the Age of Reason. So someone has put some deep thought into these ideas
 
Wasn't the main point in the opening post the following:

Why not just live in a fantasy world not knowing that it is a fantasy world

I understand that people would like to free their minds, but if they think the matrix is the real world, and it "seems" so pleasant and right, then why not stay there as opposed to the less appealing real world.

Again this is based on the assumption they have no clue that the matrix is the blinds pulled down in front of their face.

Not the ideas. The movie itself. The movie uses the ideas in their cliched form. There is no ,IMO, new insight presented in them.

As I have said. I liked the films, but come on don't extend it's value.

Harsh reality sucks, I'd much rather be part of the ignorant masses than being someone who actually stops and thinks about stuff.
Thinking leads to depression.

I'd rather live in blissful ignorance. My idea for the new matrix, once the current one crashed: I'm the only male left on the planet, surrounded by hot females, and have been tasked with re-populating the world. Then ask me if I want the red or blue pill and I'll grab the blue pill, chop it up, and snort it for faster effect.
