As we as a society strive to attack that endless void of unknown that is our lack of knowledge, we have been confronted by and fascinated with the notion of the indefinite, whether we have fully known so or not. As we seek to discover the unknown in the world, we find ourselves truly attacking what we do not know. We aggressively try to make what we consider "known" out of the world around us in an understanding that upon analysis is essentially vacant; for example, we have established a language for mathematics, but this is not truly the language of mathematics if there even exists such a principle. All our knowledge we have formed as a people over time, I submit, is wholly unsatisfactory in its misrepresentation. From a postmodern point of view-which more and more of our society's thoughts are tending to lean towards--, the knowledge we own is the meta-narrative that is to be rejected through an ever-adapting postmodern thought. Then I ask, why have we formed and still!
             strive to form this set of learning, though we know it cannot but partially represent what is truly our set universe in its foundation? The answer, although formed in the same manner as the rest of our knowledge, lies in the principle of that answer itself. Perhaps, as we search for our perceived knowledge, we feel a general closeness to that underlying truth and understanding that does actually exist beneath all the shells we put on it. We are drawn to it by an inner urge and "intuition" for its underlying reality in the notion that our entire world is wholly a misrepresentation of what truly is. Our world, our existence was built, even though we reject it as true, as a representative mockery of the wanted intangible truth-in that attempt at closeness-- that resides and drives in our deepest roots of existence. In this essay, I intend to dissect and display two modern films, namely Pi and The Matrix, for their explicit represent...
