Film Analysis: The Matrix
Welcome to the first Film Analysis assignment for the course! Your task is to watch the film, The Matrix (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133093/(Links to an external site.). In the film, there is a character named Morpheus, who becomes a mentor to the
character named Neo. Now think of Socrates. Your task is to bring these two characters, Morpheus and Socrates, together. In
what ways is Morpheus a Socratic figure? What does he “teach” Neo about the Matrix that is similar to what Socrates teaches
the Athenians about living the examined life? What is Morpheus’s truth and how is it similar or different from Socrates’ truth?
Think of Morpheus’s sacrifice for his beliefs. Where do you see the similarities between him and Socrates?
Your task is to find one scene in the film that you believe shows how Morpheus is a Socratic figure. Once you find your scene,
your written response should proceed in the following way:
Describe your chosen scene as clearly and succinctly as you can. In your response, don’t spend too much time on this
description. You only want to give enough description so I know what your scene is. There is no need to describe the plot of the
film or the background of the characters. I’ve seen this film more times than I can count! Your description of the scene sets up
your next step. So, explain it well, clearly, and concisely. Bring Morpheus and Socrates together. From your chosen scene,
describe how Morpheus is like Socrates. This will require you to describe something about Socrates based on the week’s video (see Module for Week 2) and in the readings, Plato’s Apology or Allegory of the Cave. These readings give you more than
enough text to describe what Socrates is up to. Word of caution: Stick with your scene! There’s a temptation to find multiple
examples from the film to show how Morpheus is Socratic. Your scene is the basis for this analysis, so stay close to it.
Very Important: An “A” paper brings in evidence directly from the Apology, Allegory of the Cave, and/or the course content from the Modules. You chose how you use the evidence. Make a case from the course materials. Written responses that do not
include evidence from these sources will receive a lower grade.
Format & Grading
The format for the assignment is as follows: Write a 2-page response in Times New Roman, double spaced, written clearly and
with correct grammar. All responses should have a brief description (emphasize brief) of the film scene. Once described, the
remaining paragraphs should be a demonstration of how the scene relates to the philosophical concepts. Be philosophical here. Make arguments. Show you have engaged the course materials.
You’ve seen the rubric for the short answer on the quiz. It is similar to the film analysis. Here’s the rubric:
A response – Your paper meets the page count and is written clearly and precisely in your own words (it doesn’t add extra
material in the answer but gets right to the point and addresses what is being asked). This level of response always refers to the
course content and incorporates the readings, such as short quotes and other references (don’t use block quotes or cut and
paste from my notes). Papers need to be on point, accurate, and correctly interpreted (there’s room for interpretation, but the
facts need to be there).
