Do you want to learn about some of the explanations behind the Matrix Movie. This is the adress:

There you can e.g. read this:
Part III. The Matrix as a Simulacrum of the Desert of the Real
For those who still believe in authorial intention, and that interpreting art and literature should involve assessing evidence and forming hypotheses about what the author meant to say, it can hardly be doubted that the theoretical source par excellence for The Matrix is Jean Baudrillard's theory that modern culture is a desert of the real in which hyperreal simulacra saturate and dominate human consciousness. There is much evidence in the film and screenplay to support the priority of such an interpretation. In the Construct, for instance, before Neo begins his training, Morpheus invites him to watch a 60s-era color console TV, suggesting a nostalgia for an earlier era of technology. On it we see representations of street life in our own day;; then, a jarring switch to dark and devastated cities, the post-holocaust Earth. Morpheus, with great ceremony, announces this shift to Neo with the following pronouncement:
Welcome to the desert of the real.
