Matrix is a movie that allows us to think of the real and hyperreal.  Baudrilliard describes how sometimes the real becomes what really isn’t. The reason is, because we cannot tell anymore what feels, looks and is real. Sometimes our brain adjusts to situations and we are led to believe that what we see in fact is real. In one of the scenes Neo and Morpheus are speaking and Neo says this not real while Morpheus answers “What is real, how do you define real, if you are talking about something you can feel , smell , taste , then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.” In the scene, Morpheus is describing what is real to Neo while Neo does not believe it. The simulacrum comes into place, because even after hearing the “truth” Neo still does not believe it. Why? Because the effects are too strong, you feel everything and you see it so then, what prevents it from being real? Reality is something that we believe due to facts and proof. What is real then if we cannot prove it? While the movie was made in the 90s, it has reference to that year. I think in the 90s many people were starting to develop questions like, are we alone in the universe, is this the only life we live or is this simply purgatory? The movie relates to a lot of these issues as we look back in time. The 90s is what was real to us. Just like the movie, we lived in the 90s that’s all we knew. The future that could be hyperreal for us; we did not know what would happen then so we stuck to the reality of the 90s. While Morpheus continues to show clips of the “real” world to Neo, but Neo can no longer distinguish between what is real and what he feels. While the 90s was a very sci-fi period of time during the American Identities because the movies continued to project these ideas of real and hyperreal, of existence and possibly dreams.  In the movie, Neo continues to reject the thought, until he finally notices the truth, he sees how he can travel back and forth between the Matrix and the reality. However, there are never evident facts that prove Morpheus theory to be true. As Cypher states ones, “How do we know if where we are know is actual reality, what if the matrix is reality?” The question of reality continues to stay put. We cannot distinguish anymore and that is the point that even with feelings and evidence it is not really important what reality is. The importance is what we feel inside, what we hear and speak, is it our brain waves or do we really experience reality? The 90s was a decade where we focused on a lot of these questions, is it simulacrum or not? I think Neo continues to support Morpheus  because he realizes that he has discovered something that even if not true, he can never forget about.
