The question that started Neo’s journey “you can take the blue pill or the red pill?” This question made it possible for him to move forward and find what he was looking for. The blue pill was to go back to where he was, his so called “real life”. The red pill was to find out about the matrix and be the chosen one. If I were in Neo’s position I would have chosen the red pill because the red pill because the red pill shows you “how far the rabbit hole goes”. There would be more meaning to my life if I found the real world instead of living in a fake world do the same thing every day.
In the movie Neo had a job as a computer programmer and a hacker but he didn’t enjoy either of them and he wanted to find something more. Knowing the matrix was unreal that job became useless and not meaningful. That made me think, if I took the blue pill and knew the matrix was fake all the hard work of going to school and getting the career I want, it wouldn’t even matter because it was fake. Weird things kept happening to neo and without knowing he took the red pill because he wanted to know more about the matrix, he jumped into the rabbit hole. Just like Neo I would search for something more.
The decision of taking the red pill would be risky but I would go crazy if I took the blue pill and regretted it. In the movie, there was a part where the guy was going to betray his team and Morpheus to go back to the fake world. He thought “ignorance was bliss.” He wanted to be rich and someone important but going into that world he would feel empty. After a while, even though it was though Neo pulled trough without regretting it. I wouldn’t want to regret my decision because taking the red pill was for meaning and importance. I never want to live my life thinking “what if”.
Neo didn’t really know what he was getting himself into but he found out about the real world and he liked it. He had meaning and importance and was accepted by everyone. The knowledge of computers got him there and was courageous and thrilled to be there but a little scared as well. He was referred as “the one”. The person who could save them, he was the hero. The feeling of importance and excitement to anyone’s life is something everyone strives for and need that to keep them sane. Being “the one” is a really important and comparing it to the computer programmer job, it was absolutely nothing.
It was one question that got him somewhere; he chose the res pill and found everything he was looking for. The red pill world would have been my decision too because I never want to regret it and live in a world where all my achievements wouldn’t mean anything. Working hard and trying to make it in life didn’t matter. It was a fake reality and those achievements would be gone.
