Allegory of the Cave synthesis

In Plato's "Allegory of the Cave," he makes a point of understanding the perspective of reality. The Matrix shares this theme. Plato wrote "when he came into the light, the brilliance would fill his eyes and he would not be able to see even one of the things now called real?" He argues that man is used to darkness and to see the light of the sun would fill him with a feeling of greatness. The light of the sun is referring to truth. As in the Matrix, the world if the Matrix is a computer system, but the inhabitants of it believe their lives to be true. This is due to their perception.

From both movies, the theme of perception of reality both tie into finding the truth. What humans know goes as far as what they see, which makes them believe that. The Matrix's computer world and the Plato's cave are bridge together and meet at point of true knowledge.
