released from his prison and made to grasp the truth of his life and the world. 
The account above roughly captures that turning point in the 1999 film, and yet 
it is drawn from an image crafted almost twenty-four hundred years ago by the 
Greek philosopher, Plato (427-347 B.C.E.). </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com/rl_cmp/new_phil_partridge.html">Like the allegory of the Cave, <EM>The Matrix</EM> dramatically conveys the view 
that ordinary appearances do not depict true reality and that gaining the truth 
changes one’s life. Neo’s movements toward greater understanding nicely parallel 
the movements of the prisoner in the cave whose bonds are loosened.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com/rl_cmp/new_phil_partridge.html"><EM>The Matrix</EM> and Plato’s Cave are faithful to a central tenet in 
Socrates’ philosophical examinations: that proper teaching only occurs when 
students are prepared to make discoveries for themselves. Furthermore, the 
discovery that is most crucial is the discovery of oneself.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com/rl_cmp/new_phil_partridge.html">wake up, Neo</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/49E72099-98F0-4994-A40B-B60257157A78/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
