10 Dangerous Movie Worlds And How To Survive Them

7. The Matrix

How To Survive: Submit yourself to the machines. One of the more depressing survival guides on this list, it seems that the easiest and most comfortable way to live in The Matrix is to literally stay in The Matrix. Who can forget the scene in the first film when Cypher (Joe Pantoliano) talks to Agent Smith about wanting to be re-inserted into The Matrix as someone important, like a movie star? He prefers the illusion of The Matrix to the reality that all that remains of Earth is a desolate wasteland like Zion. If you want a happy, safe life, it's probably best to stick to The Matrix and just try to enjoy what you have, ignorant of the fact that it's a falsehood. If you try to eke out a life in Zion, you're either going to die or be miserable. Sometimes ignorance is bliss, and this is the ultimate example.
