the matrix

the truman show

level 13

deeply gnostic movies which show the illusion of reality

do you know more than this in which actually the real world is not what it seems?ç


Such films as Dark City, The Gladiator, The Fountain, The Matrix, The Thirteenth Floor, The Game, The Truman Show, eXistenZ, The Island, and Vanilla Sky can be compared to Gnostic cosmological myth in the presentation of a world that is illusory, that is created with the intention to deceive or restrict its inhabitants, and that is not configured to humanity's benefit save through the illuminating realization of its falsehood. Ultimately, the key to unravelling the illusion and perceiving reality without obscuration resides in a form of self-knowledge or enlightenment (often this perception is concurrent to a 'return' to a material or extended reality that persists beyond the illusion).
