Abstract (2. Language):

“The Matrix Trilogy”, which was scripted and directed by Lana Wachowski and Lilly Wachowski, is one of the most important science fiction films. “The problem of reality”, which has been present, in various forms, ever since Plato’s “allegory of the cave”, is once again being evaluated in “The Matrix Trilogy” through the medium of cinema. Moreover, there are various opinions regarding exactly what the main natures of human are in “The Matrix Trilogy”. Furthermore, “The Matrix Trilogy” provides a striking view on the relationship between the “basic natures of human” and the “system” in which humans live. The system explored, and the human insights examined in “The Matrix Trilogy” have a distinctly philosophical feel. As such, this article analyses “The Matrix Trilogy”, viewing it as a work of art which presents philosophical problems. Therefore, the dialogues in “The Matrix Trilogy” and the context of the dialogues shall be taken as the basic reference resource for the analysis. This article studies the nature of the understanding of system and human in the “The Matrix Trilogy”, with particular emphasis on analysing the content of dialogues. The article concludes that the basic human characteristics which distinguish “Neo” from other living beings in “The Matrix Trilogy” are “the ability to know” and “the will of change.”

Abstract (Original Language):

Senaristliğini ve yönetmenliğini Lana Wachowski ve Lilly Wachowski’nin gerçekleştirdikleri “The Matrix Trilogy”, bilim kurgu sinemasının en önemli eserlerinden biridir. “The Matrix Trilogy”de, Plato’nun “mağara metaforu”ndan beri çeşitli şekillerde ele alınan “gerçeklik problemi”, sinema teknolojisinin sağladığı olanaklarla yeniden değerlendirilir. Ayrıca, “The Matrix Trilogy”de insanın asli niteliklerinin neler olduklarına dair kavrayışlar da mevcuttur. Bunun yanı sıra, “The Matrix Trilogy”, insanın içinde yaşamını sürdürdüğü “sistem” ile “insanın temel nitelikleri” arasında mevcut olan ilişkiye dair dikkat çekici bir kavrayış sunar “The Matrix Trilogy”deki sistem ve insan kavrayışları felsefi niteliklidir. Bu nedenle, makale, “The Matrix Trilogy”yi, felsefi problemler ortaya koyan bir “sanat eser”i olarak kavrayarak, analiz eder. Bunun için, analizde “The Matrix Trilogy”deki diyaloglar ve diyalogların gerçekleştiği kontekst temel referans kaynağı olarak kullanılır. Makale, diyalogların içerik analizlerini gerçekleştirerek, “The Matrix Trilogy”deki sistem ve insan kavrayışlarının neler olduğu inceler. Bu makale, “The Matrix Trilogy”de “insan”ı diğer canlılardan ayırt eden temel niteliklerinin “bilme becerisi” ve “değişim arzusu” olduğu sonucuna ulaşır.
