Dystopian Matrix Quotes

In preparation for writing your essays I handed out a sheet containing quotes from "The Matrix" that display certain dystopian characteristics.


When writing your essays you should try and use these quotes as direct evidence from the film to back-up the point that you are trying to make in each analysis paragraph.

Try and write 3 or 4 analysis paragraphs that make use of these quotes - then write 2 or 3 more analysis paragraphs describing some of the specific cinematic techniques used by the Wachowski brothers within the film and how they help portray The Matrix as a dystopian society (camera angles/lenses/movement/lighting/mise-en-scene)

Once you have written your anaylsis paragraphs, then you can write your conclusion summing up your points - remember to answer the question as well!

All of the dystopian characteristics are on the handout I gave you at the start of the unit - if you've lost it then you can download a copy from here:
