“The Great Gatsby”: Comparing Book To Movie
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. When one compares the book version of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” to its movie counterpart, it is quite easy to point out the significant similarities, inasmuch as there was no way for the film director to stray too far from the author’s primary theme and still remain true to the story’s message; as such, the contrasts that one might experience between the two media forms appear to be nothing more than superficial differences that typically separate film from literature. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

“The Matrix” -- Looking at the Sociological Aspects of the Movie
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the 1999 movie, “The Matrix,” from the viewpoint of determining what is and what is not reality. If one is awakened from what they have assumed to be reality into a new realm, what is to guarantee that the new “reality” truly is real? The movie itself may also be viewed as cultural production in which the most common sociological features of the modern United States -- race, gender, class -- may be considered in terms of what characters, their backgrounds, ethnicity, gender, and attitudes say about the social realities of both the world outside the “matrix” of the movie and the actual social matrix of life in 21st century America.

“The Matrix” an Exercise in Social Psychology
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses the 1999 movie, “The Matrix,” from the aspect of social psychology. Interestingly, the field of social psychology almost always refers to some specific “matrix”-- the persuasion matrix, the influence matrix, the contingency matrix (and more) -- in which a person interacts with others and through which he or she defines themselves. Could it be possible that the primary purpose of the blockbuster “The Matrix” was to explore the interconnectedness that exists among all those varying types and levels of social and psychological “matrix?” No other sources listed.

“The Matrix” as a Dystopia: Fears, Anxieties and Tendencies in Today’s Society as Depicted in a Futuristic Vision
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the film “The Matrix” as a dystopia. The 1999 Wachowski brothers’ film “The Matrix” reflects the most severe fears and anxieties within today’s society in regards to a futuristic world as a “dystopia”. Opposite of More’s idealistic world portrayed in his work “Utopia”, the literary term “dystopia” refers to a “bad place”. Since the industrial revolution and more recently the computer and information revolution, society’s fears of possible negative results from growing technological achievements have been reflected in literature and cinema. While currently cyber-technology, that which is related to the computer world and artificial intelligence, is being promoted as a positive element within society in that humans are able to access free information and share information on a global scale, the film “The Matrix” portrays more so that element not promoted within technological circles, that is, the negative and de-humanizing aspects of cyber-technology which robs human of their individuality from a physical and mental perspective and uses humans for the proliferation and eventual dominance of artificial intelligence. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
