As in, from the Matrix.

Which one would you take?

My answer would be the Red Pill. I'd rather see the truth as ugly as it is. What about you?

    red pill.


    its a good metaphor. especially regarding the United States. people are so indoctrinated today it might as well be a dream world. spreading freedom and democracy since 1946. sure.

    they couldn't because in early incarnations of the matrix people didn't believe that utopia was real.

    well if i get to be trinity and get neo....yea.....hand over the red pill. ;) otherwise, honestly...i just don't know.....usually i am all for discovering the *truth*....but also i wonder, if it truly serves me no purpose, makes me miserable....do i really wanna know? ignorance is bliss and all that...or the truth will set you free....definitely something to ponder...

    altho i readily admitted in the innoculation thread that if it was get a shot or be banned from society and civilization, give me the shot :D.....
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    I'd take Cypher's route... go red, then sell those fuckers out for a nice easy life plugged back in as a rich and famous guy that can live a life of ease, like that pervy French dude in the second flick.

    You know why i like The Matrix?
    Because the writers were pretty darned smart and concealed a very relevant real world plot in to a sci-fi movie.

    Most people have no clue, but the original script was pretty darn elucidating, making explicit what in the movies final form was reduced to an implicit message.

    SCREEN
    Do you want to know what the
    Matrix is, Neo?

    Neo is frozen when he reads his name.

    SCREEN
    SUPERASTIC: Who said that?
    JACKON: Who's Neo?
    GIBSON: This is a private board.

    If you want to know, follow the
    white rabbit.

    NEO
    What the hell...

    SCREEN
    TIMAXE: Someone is hacking the
    hackers!
    FOS4: It's Morpheus!!!!!
    JACKON: Identify yourself.

    Knock, knock, Neo.

    A chill runs down his spine and when someone KNOCKS on
    his door he almost jumps out of his chair.

    He looks at the door, then back at the computer but the
    message is gone.

    He shakes his head, not completely sure what happened.
    Again, someone knocks.

    Cautiously, Neo approaches the door.

    VOICE (O.S.)
    Hey, Tommy-boy! You in there?

    Recognizing the voice, he relaxes and opens it. ANTHONY,
    who lives down the hall, is standing outside with a group
    of friends.

    NEO
    What do you want, Anthony?

    ANTHONY
    I need your help, man. Desperate.
    They got me, man. The shackles of
    fascism.

    He holds up the red notice that accompanies the Denver
    boot.

    NEO
    You got the money this time?

    He holds up two hundred dollars and Neo opens the door.
    Anthony's girlfriend, DUJOUR, stops in front of Neo.

    DUJOUR
    You can really get that thing off,
    right now?

    ANTHONY
    I told you, honey, he may look
    like just another geek but this
    here is all we got left standing
    between Big Brother and the New
    World Order    .

    OMFG. What a bunch of crazy lunatic fringe tin-foil hat wearing kooks!
    ;):D;)
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?
