The connection that I have made between the movies and the text is the Topic of free will and determinism. As I reflect throughout the semester on the topic on hand, many of the leading character as seen in the movies had the decision to choose. Like many of us in our lives we stumble on choices which are given to you these choices can be tuff to handle but the reality is we have to deal with the reality of them. The movie the matrix illustrates free will the fact that the movie projected the dystopian world in which the society was unreal the theme basically described the role of choices. Another movie that seemed very similar to this is Goattca the movie also portrays free will and determinism in my opinion the leading character role emphasized determinism given the fact he was looked on as an out casts to society his determination to prove that he was not what society deemed him to be. This given insight illustrates that he demonstrated free will. Free will is the also seen in the Oedipus  the king play opedipus was seen as unable to determine his faith but his life was predicted by the oracles that also gave him the choice to not take the throne by killing his father and sleeping with his mother He was very to determine to prove that he wouldn’t kill. He was misled that he would not kill. After Oedipus realize that he did exactly what the oracle predicted.  The  theme developed my thinking of free will by helping me develop clear knowledge of choice .
