Summary/Abstract: Besides offering some answers, the well-known film Matrix raises a lot of questions concerning our general existential involvement. Produced proximate the new millennium by the Wachowski brothers, the film came at the right moment for the higher levels of human consciousness development. Consequently, we saw the advent of an entire stream of philosophical essays on the film. Unfortunately, they are merely descriptive, trying to retell the story based on university-level rephrasing. They do not hit the bull’s eye, remaining incapable of getting to the core of the investigated subject. Disturbing in such studies is that they are so conventional and typical as if afraid to push further the boundaries of the philosophical research, as if almost everything one has to say is already repressed (like in children growing up with authoritarian parents that amend, correct, or rebuke everything they say).
