Having entered the screens of cinemas on Easter weekend 1999, The Matrix became a kind of philosophical provocation on the first day of rental. The questions raised in the narrative about programmer Thomas Anderson were once already voiced by Plato, Descartes and Kant: "How do you define reality?" "What is Personality?" and "How Does Fate and Free Will Compare? ""The Matrix" is a cocktail of various motifs: Zen Buddhism, Jungian psychology, popular quantum mechanics, Hong Kong martial arts films, and other "ingredients." The Wachowski Sisters innovatively combined aspects of popular culture and academic knowledge in the film. Philosophical concepts of ancient thinkers and gloomy conclusions of scientists of the postmodernist era coexist organically in sci-fi reality. However, is it as fantastic as it seems at first glance? And what is reality anyway? Trinity leans into Neo's ear and whispers: "Question, that's what haunts us."
