Did anyone see "The Matrix"?

The first time I saw the first movie, we went to the Melbourne Crown Casino because the cinema we had _wanted_ to see it in was closed that weekend.

It was a bit weird because we had tickets for the back row of the theatre, but people had taken our seats, so we had to sit RIGHT up in the front row. So we had to watch with our heads right back, so it seemed like our view of the world was moved by 90 degrees. 

So ok, the movie is about machines growing people and harvesting their minds in order for the machines to "live". So people's lives were not actually real, but just one huge dream that all the people in the "real" world were sharing in their permanently unconscious state.

THEN, when the movie finished we left the cinema and walked through the casino to go home. I looked around at the glitzy, shiny casino and at all the people there with their fashionable, ridiculous clothes that made them all look the same (like bimbos) and thinking that so many of them were just being sucked into a vortex of evil and stupidity (many of us think of the Casino as an "extra tax for stupid people") and wondered if the movie had not been so far from the truth...

Well, I _think_ I understood it, but then I _think_ I know how humans should behave and what part of our purpose is, so there's always a good chance that I'm wrong on all counts!  ;)
