Usually, there are statements hidden in plain sight. Watch this three-minute scene from pop culture classic "The Matrix" before we go into detail.
All right. Did you see it? Let's move on then..
Morpheus is the god of dreams, of metamorphosis, and therefore capable of imitating any human form to communicate with those who are asleep. Here the protagonist awakens, without knowing how did he fall asleep, seeking Morpheus shadow -the invisible man- that only has some random sporadic appearances in unrelated places.
The song the protagonist is listening in the scene is underground cyberpunk Dissolved Girl from Massive Attack. The part they show us is "I feel I have been here, but I am not leaving. I feel like I have done this before. I could fake being here, but no more".
But the hidden part they do not show us is "Oh, how I miss my bondage. I am thirsty of a master. You are not my saviour. A shame, a shame, I am lost again. I really should've left but I stayed. Say my name, oh say it. I only need you to placate my pain" (sorry if it is inaccurate, i dont have the exact lyrics at hand). You should recognize where that is from right away.
Wake up Neo (the one). Follow the White Rabbit (lepufology). Deep into the web, and made apparent by the hacker lair that Neo's place is.
The undesirables arrive to Neo's place. The protagonist opens a book and takes a disk, that he sells to the freaks. But, what book does he open? "Simulacra and Simulation", from the french philosopher Jean Baudrillard, and in the hollowed-out "On Nihilism" chapter no less! According to the book, simulacra are copies that picture things that have no original, or that no longer have an original. Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a process of reality about a determined period. Baudrillard claims that our current society has replaced all reality and significance with symbolism and signs, so that the human experience is no more than a simulation of reality. I could go on lenghts here, but the book is on the web.
Neo -the one, the new- hands over the discs to the freaks, and the freak leader calls him "Mi saviour, mi own Jesus christ", making the theological connection even more obvious.
Baudrillard tells us that simulacra are not reality, or not even imitation, but an anti-reality: they hide everything we relate with reality in our lives. And as society is so saturated with simulacra, our lives are saturated with the artificial constructs of society and every meaning has become insignificant because they are infinitely interchangable.
Finally, the One asks the freaks: "Have you ever had the feeling of not knowing if you are sleep or awake?"
Watch it again. We must learn to see, for we have never truly seen, only glimpse at what we are shown.
