DIRECTIONS
1. Spend a little time researching connections between Jean Baudrillard’s book Simulacra and Simulation and the 1999 film The Matrix. Baudrillard’s book was used in a scene in the film.
If you are unfamiliar with The Matrix , look up some reviews so you understand the plot and characters.
In your own words, explain what idea/concept you think the Directors were trying to express by using a quick cut highlight of the book in this scene? In other words, how does Baudrillard’s book add to or help develop the story line?
Is Baudrillard’s basic idea of reality/hyper reality in any way different from Plato’s Allegory of the Cave?
Jean Baudrillard died in 2007
