 You take the blue pill - the speech ends here, we move on to the next speaker and believe whatever you want to believe.                                                                                     You take the red pill – the speech continues, you stay in wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

I saw that Matrix Reloaded movie where Neo beats up a ton of Smiths. So I'll take the red one or whatever.

The Blue one looks like NyQuil while the red one looks like Sudafed, so I'll pick the blue pill.

I take the green pill, which gives me the power to destroy solid-but-unoriginal films that become inexplicable cultural phenomenons because people don't realize they're rehashing cyberpunk stories from decades prior.

A drunk chick you picked up at the bar:

You take the blue pill: Nothing happens, you say your goodbyes and go on with your night.

You take the red pill: You get lucky, but you also have to start going out with her.

Which do you choose?!!

Little known fact: Prior to the script rewrite the pills were actually suppositories. So your good.

@adam_grif: link?

The Matrix makes numerous references to recent films and literature, and to historical myths and philosophy including Simulacron-3, Vedanta, AdvaitaHinduism, YogaVashishtaHinduism, Judaism, Messianism, Buddhism, Gnosticism, Christianity, Existentialism, Nihilism, and occult tarot. The film's premise resembles Plato'sAllegory of the cave, Edwin Abbott Abbott's Flatland, René Descartes's evil genius, Georges Gurdjieff'sThe Sleeping Man, Kant's reflections on the Phenomenon versus the Ding an sich, and the brain in a vat thought experiment, while Jean Baudrillard'sSimulacra and Simulation is featured in the film. There are similarities to several works by science fiction author Philip K. Dick, as well as cyberpunk works such as Neuromancer by William Gibson.


The film was a mish-mash of earlier cyberpunk novels and the brain-in-a-jar thought experiment that everybody learns about when they're like 15 years old doing high school philosophy. Go read Neuromancer or watch Ghost In The Shell (they're both superior). Neuromancer even contains something called "the Matrix", which is the world-wide virtual reality / internet hybrid. Ghost In The Shell features near-identical "neck plugs" for "jacking in" and interfacing directly with computers.

There is almost nothing NEW in the film. It borrows from a variety of sources and meshes the stuff together. The film "eXistenZ" was released the same year and featured many striking similarities, because it was using the exact same metaphysical philosophy that The Matrix was.

Gripe all you want, NOTHING in literature (which extends to storytelling) is original.

See How to Read Literature Like a Professor.

Of course, that's not necesssarily a bad thing.

You're right. Any film that borrows from another film is instantly terrible.

If the Matrix taught me anything, it's that I should look for the hidden third option.

Jesus H. Christ people, I didn't say The Matrix was bad. I even said it was solid. It's an enjoyable action film.

The sequels?

THOSE were bad films.
