The movie is a documentary, its a metaphor if you like, and has been produced that way to make the concept easily understandable by the masses. It was a success, wasn't it?
What is important to understand is that all this stuff works on different levels, different dimensions if you like. Is not about physically living in a simulation or not, it's more about the belief system that has been made in place, mostly affecting your conscious and unconscious mind.
Just assume somehow you have been indoctrinated to believe and think in certain way. This plan has been going on for ages, not decades, but centuries if not millennia...
I highly suggest you to watch my latest post #613162 about a documentary of a survivor from the disgraces of a system of mind control and human trafficking. Just a little taste of what's going on behind the curtains.
