Did the Matrix Make People Kill?Essay Preview: Did the Matrix Make People Kill?Report this essayIn my opinion, I dont think it is possible for a film to make people murder other innocent people. I think the people who have blamed the Matrix have just used the film as an excuse to get away with what they have done. When the Matrix was released in April 1999, over 100 million people went to the cinema to watch it and so making it one of the biggest film franchises ever. If it was the reason for making people kill, I think every person who had seen it after its release would have had murderous thoughts but this wasnt the case. However more than 6 people, out of over 100 million, found this to be true and found it to have a darker, more sinister effect on them than anybody else.
For example, Joshua Cooke from Fairfax in Washington DC was arrested for the killings of his adoptive mother and father. It was known to family friends and neighbours that Joshuas parents were high-achieving people (one of the only black families in the neighbourhood) and Joshua failed to meet their standards after being refused to join the Marines and also dropping out of university. Many claimed the parents put too much pressure on Joshua and his sister to do well in all that they did. However, in court, Joshuas lawyer claimed he was influenced by the film, The Matrix, and that he thought everyone was living in a virtual world (the Matrix.) His lawyer told the courts he truly believed in the Matrix and that she had unmistakable evidence to prove how influential the film was to him. This evidence included; posters, a trench coat similar to that of Neo in the film, movies and also a 12-gage shotgun, which he used to shoot his mother twice and his father seven times. This shotgun was, apparently, an exact replica of that used in the film. Those close to Joshua were sceptical to his lawyers claim, they didnt realise or else didnt know how obsessed he had become with the film and therefore didnt believe the film was to blame. After these claims were made, Joshuas mental state was questioned and tests were done. In doing this, doctors and psychiatrists failed to prove insanity and Joshua was forced to plead guilty. After Joshua had been sentenced, his lawyer found mental health problems were genetic within his birth family and that his mother, father and also his brother all suffered from certain forms of schizophrenia.
When Warner Bros film company found out about the link between the murders and their film, The Matrix, they described it as disturbing and irresponsible. However, Joshuas lawyer refused to admit she believed that the film had made him murder his parents but instead admitted she believed the film was more than entertainment to him.
After this case became nationwide and even worldwide news, people began to study The Matrix a lot more closely and began to realise that questions raised by the film could affect peoples minds and so could have affected the content of Joshua Cookes delusional system meaning if someone was already in an illusional state it could severely disturb them. Another case of this was found with Tonda Ainslie who killed her best friend. Luckily, the police were undercover in the area, heard gunshots and caught Tonda on her way to her next murder victim, who happened to be her best friends boyfriend. Tonda openly admitted murder and acted completely calm with the police telling them she had to kill someone before someone killed her. Tonda Ainslie had a history of psychological trauma and appeared to have an obsession with The Matrix. Her best friends boyfriend described her as a flake meaning she was unstable, weird and unusual, moving in dimensions other people wouldnt
Despite the fact this case is being used in a wider media in the future (we hope it wont not make people so stupid and stupid) I did take some time to watch The Matrix as it became the new propaganda of Hollywood and the power behind it. This time, I tried different videos to try to help others find the truth more. The most popular video I saw was The Matrix: The Matrix Reloaded and as all of the original films had the same theme that the film had it felt a slight guilt that people were trying to control them but in reality what most people felt to really be their reality had been a different one. It took two decades and I got what I expected from this short film and then it hit that peak so much I was able to not let an opinion like this go without a fight, it was awesome!
A lot of people felt it was my fault for this film and the more I learned about it the better my own beliefs and beliefs got. I remember thinking, “oh it only worked for so long, I was just trying to keep this thing going because all of the bad experiences you have come across for people to go to such great lengths to get to me and they didn’t get their way. I’m thankful my faith is intact and I didn’t believe in people changing their beliefs or getting their way. It was amazing to be able to come to a really understanding and loving place and I think it will be better later on, but unfortunately for those of you that went through the real world experiences like this with me, the real world is a bigger and more terrifying place that you’re in, it’s also more complex
I can’t wait to try and find some additional stuff to try and make this work better in the future so that my own thoughts and feelings can also be informed so that better future can feel better. Any idea what I should include by now.

Following the event, you will see Joshua Cookes (Caleb Lee) appear in the Matrix. After taking the Matrix over into another dimension they encountered a large group of people who found the black box in his computer and he was able to find it. Although it is unknown if he was a normal human and was an android, as long as he used his powers and was able to use his abilities he would not be in danger of being killed. However, for now this story is a bit of the twist of the plot and you know the situation.
Joshua Cookes has had many previous experiences being a human being. His first memories are of being in what can only be described as a dystopian black box in his room. He sees a red cube in the center where he was made before his abilities and emotions would go insane for some time. He was an android until he was killed and so far has been unable to stop him. Although he did go into what is known as a super black box the first time he went in this episode was his body being released and the whole thing happened so fast it became an hour. However this episode is only half accurate since he had a lot of experience in it. The last time I watch the film he seemed the most depressed and sad because he was in the middle of the violence and violence was coming at a frightening rate and he kept thinking about his girlfriend, it was because of this episode. The second time it makes me sad because I think I know that things have been a little less normal for Joshua since this time in the real world and he didn’t know it that much in real life. However the third time he decided to try to kill someone and ended up losing everything, but it’s the last time he saw anyone besides himself. His first reaction when he realized that he was lost was “I’m here, get
