Mind-Bending Trailer For The Documentary A GLITCH IN THE MATRIX - What If We're Living in a Simulation?
Magnolia Pictures has released a trailer for a crazy mind-bending documentary titled A Glitch in the Matrix. The film comes from Rodney Ascher, who has previously made the fascinating documentary Room 237, which presents an analysis of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. He also directed The Nightmare, which takes an in-depth look at the horrors of sleep paralysis.
This new film explores the notion that we are all living in a simulation, that we are trapped in a world that is not real. This is something that some people believe and this doc is going to take a deep dive into it. Here’s the synopsis:
What if we are living in a simulation, and the world as we know it is not real? To tackle this mind-bending idea, acclaimed filmmaker Rodney Asher (ROOM 237, THE NIGHTMARE) uses a noted speech from Philip K. Dick to dive down the rabbit hole of science, philosophy, and conspiracy theory. Leaving no stone unturned in exploring the unprovable, the film uses contemporary cultural touchstones like THE MATRIX, interviews with real people shrouded in digital avatars, and a wide array of voices, expert and amateur alike. If simulation theory is not science fiction but fact, and life is a video game being played by some unknowable entity, then who are we, really? A GLITCH IN THE MATRIX attempts to find out.
A Glitch in the Matrix will be available everywhere on February 5, 2021. Watch the trailer and let us know what you think about it.
