New Trailer For The Documentary A GLITCH IN THE MATRIX - What If We're in a Computer Programmed Reality?
We’ve got a wild new trailer to share with you for a fascinating and mind-bending documentary titled A Glitch in the Matrix. The film comes from Rodney Ascher, who has previously made the documentaryRoom 237, which presents an analysis of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. He also directed The Nightmare, which takes an in-depth look at the nightmarish horrors of sleep paralysis.
A Glitch in the Matrix explores the notion that we are all living in a simulation, that we are trapped in a world that is not real. What if this life we’re living is a computer programmed reality? Some people actually believe this and the filmmaker wanted to explore that concept and take a deep dive into the theory that this world is fake and we’re in a game of sorts. It’s insane stuff!
The synopsis reads:
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 this theory.
