The movie “Matrix” is about a virtual world where humans are grown in pods and are connected by cybernetic implants to an artificial reality called the Matrix. Neo is chosen to be part of the Matrix, because he is different from others. He was offered by one of the Matrix members, named Morpheus, to choose between two pills, the red or the blue one. The red pill represented the truth or how far down the rabbit hole goes and the blue pill meant no change, to stay in his current existence. Neo decided to go with the truth, with the red pill. From there he is taught to become one of them, “a superhuman”. At the end Neo becomes a hero. By trusting himself and his ability’s he save’s Morpheus and the world. If I had to choose between the red and the blue pill, I would have chosen the red pill. Because I would like to know the truth and what is really happening around us, who is surrounding us, then living in a lie and not be aware of what’s going on in the world.
Apparently if Neo hadn’t chosen the red pill he would have never found the reality about himself and about the real world. It is very important for us to know the truth because, this way we will be more careful about our surroundings and we won’t have a wrong believe about something.
For example, I have my family far away from me, and once something terrible happened there, my grandfather passed away. My parent’s haven’t told me that bad news for a long time and when they finally spoke to me, I was very upset about the news and very disappointed with them .Whenever I asked my parents about my grandfather, they would always lie telling me he was around. I would rather prefer knowing the truth, then being deceived all the time
Another reason why I agree with Neo’s choice is, because everyone at some point is tempted to go out there and visit a different world. Seeing a world full of technology and super power it might answer a lot of questions that most of us have, especially after reading so many science fiction books and fiction movies.
In conclusion, the “Matrix” movie opened our eyes to many things that we wouldn’t think about before. It made us realize that we are always offered choices in life, now it depends on us how much we want to know the truth and move on, or stay in the same position and ignore the reality.
