The Matrix is a science-fiction action movie and is set in a dystopian future where humanity

is unknowingly trapped in a simulated reality created by machines to distract humans and

use their bodies as an energy source.
Do you believe in fate, Neo?
Because I don’t like the idea that I’m not in control of my life.
I know exactly what you mean.
You felt it your entire life. There is something wrong with the world. Like a splinter in your
mind driving you mad. The Matrix is all around us. Even now in this very room. It is the
world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. You are a slave. Like
everyone else you were born into bondage, born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste
or touch. Ironically this is not far from the truth.
Fate is a power or force that someone believe controls what happens in their lives which
cannot be controlled by people.
Destiny is another word that’s very similar in meaning to fate, but there is a slight
difference. It refers to the things that will happen to someone in the future. It is also can be
used like a verb.
Fate is generally used to describe something negative that will happen in the future.
A splinter is a small sharp piece of material, usually wood that has broken off a bigger
piece.
The Matrix in the movie is nothing more than a virtual simulation, and the people living in
it, are just connected through their brains to provide energy to the system.
A slave is a person who belongs to another person as a property and has to obey him and
work for him. Slaves were born into bondage means that they have their freedom limited,
and they are prevented from doing what they want.
This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back.
You stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
There is no turning back is an expression usually said just before you make a decision
meant that once you’ve decided, you can’t go back to a previous state.
He will start a new life, in pursuit of the truth.
To go down the rabbit hole is an expression used when someone enters into a situation, that
is particularly strange, problematic or chaotic especially one that becomes increasingly so as
it develops.
