celebrating his deeds and accomplishments or him taking his place in society as a more mature version of himself. When we are first introduced to Neo, he is fallen asleep on his computer with his headphones on. His room is a mess and poorly lit, with a number of random articles on his computer. From these few details, we quickly learn what kind of person Neo is. He is your typical shut-in computer geek who should probably get out…

In “The Matrix,” Neo makes the choice between the red (truth) pill and the blue (ignorance) pill. In the film Neo choses to know the truth because of all the crazy things he had recently seen, all the questions that were burning in his mind, and the limited time he had to choose. Although Neo chose to know the truth, there are many reasons one could choose either. Neo chooses the red pill because he has felt, and seen, that there was something “off” about his life. He was curious about who…

As William Shakespeare, the most famous Elizabethan writer and playwright said, “Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.” In this, having knowledge, is to be able to find a higher state of being, and to be ignorant means that one is grounded and cursed, unable to leave. William Shakespeare, the man who wrote Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Julius Caesar, and so many more works, is believed to one of the smartest and most enlightened men to live. He is…

The movie itself is about when a young computer genius Thomas Anderson, who went by the alias Neo in the computer world, gets recruited by a man named Morpheus. After the two men had met, Morpheus showed Neo the real world, and told him how people were living in a programmed system called the matrix and that the real world was run by A.I or artificial intelligence.

revealed. In the movie, “The Matix®,” (I am not promoting or endorsing the movie, nor the directors, nor their lifestyles, I only found the quote to be an example of a revelation), the character Neo receives the revelation that not only is he in the Matrix, but he is the Matrix. In a scene from the movie, Neo makes the following statement upon this revelation, “I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the…

wants to go back and that life is much better inside. This is an ominous forewarning for Neo, whom at the end of the film declares that he is going to free everyone. The chance of rebellion is massive because the masses are not necessarily fit to handle the truth that awaits them outside of their machine bubbles. This is either due to a lack of education or a lack of desire to be educated. It is hard for Neo to realize since the thought does not seem to occur to him, but for many, ignorance is…

It is not until the main character, Neo, acknowledges for himself that the entire world he believed to be genuine, was in fact an illusion in his mind and that his entire body was hooked to a wire that teleported his reason into a Martian-like world. An interesting concept is brought up once Morpheus explains to Neo that his perceptions on reality are essentially flawed. Morpheus simply states that Neo was living in a fantasy world and all of the sensations Neo ever felt were purely simulators…

Matrix” demonstrating a choice we all make in life. Morpheus gives Neo a choice between two pills—a red pill and a blue pill. "Take the blue pill," says Morpheus, "and the story ends. You awake in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe." "You take the red pill," he continues, "you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: All I'm offering is the truth, nothing more. Morpheus thus offers Neo a choice between "life as usual," and "knowing the…
