The matrix is a documentary not a movie. It's called programming and brainwashing. Literally everything we do is because of either our parents, cousins, friends who did it or what was see/seen on Tell-LIE-Vision and social media. The music we listen to also plays a role as its been discussed on here multiple times.
The minute we was born we had no say so on what we learn, parents are forced to put kids in indoctrination camps aka school or face jail time all to program our minds on how to live in this society, being the obedient worker ant they train you to be. Go to school, go to college, have student loan debt, get married, trade your time/life for the worthless paper they deem valuable until 65 and THEN you get some crumbs you saved up to live but by then you're feeble, little to no energy nor zeal to do much anyway. Such is life on planet earth. Those who are immensely mentally tough/resilient, the ones who question everything, usually rebellious be the ones to break free of the clutches. Unfortunately we're talking bout a small minority capable of doing this.
The minute you question the machine or go against the grain you'll be ostracized or be labeled a problem. What's sad is when you break free but realize your parents, peers etc are still trapped in the sheep mentality they were programmed to abide by
