Movies: The Matrix
October 18, 2014 at 12:01 am
Hey guys, what's up?
I am really into movies, one of my favorites is The Matrix. I had a discussion with a co-worker earlier and I was amazed by his answer so I have a question to anyone else who has seen it here;
Pretty simple. Would you take the blue pill or the red pill? I will try and add a poll to make it easier.

Depends on my financial positions in the Matrix. However, seeing as the real world is a drag, with stupid rave dances and sucky food, I'd probably go with the blue pill.

Take the red pill, then you get to enjoy both worlds, and escape into the other world whenever needed.

In real life I swallowed the red pill. I expect whatever life I lived I would take the red pill.

Am I the only one who after Morpheus' explanation didn't quite get which pill does what?

In case of confusion, ask your doctor

A harsh truth is preferable to a happy fantasy. For one can never improve a reality he is ignorant too.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

I think the point is that we are making that decision, here in "real" life, every single day. So while I like to think of myself as a truth seeker, here I am sitting in my comfortable, air-conditioned, bedroom connected to the Internet, which is really only a stone's throw from the Matrix. I'm not out there chaining myself to rainforest trees, or administering medicine to little African kids with ebola, or strapping C4 to my body and running into Congress.
So I guess I have my answer.

Never saw the films (Keanu Reeves has replaced Adam Sandler on my list of All Time Worst Piece Of Shit Actors In Film History). Quickly then, what do the pills do?
