Red Pill or Blue? If you did not see “The Matrix” then this will help with what is to come next. “The Matrix is a film filled with religious and philosophical symbolism. The plot supposes that humans live in vats many years in the future, being fed false sensory information by a giant virtual reality computer (the Matrix). The perpetrators of this horror are machines of the future who use humans as a source of power. Humans are literally farmed. “The central character of the film, Neo, is presented to us in the opening part of the film as a loner who is searching for a mysterious character called Morpheus (named after the Greek god of dreams and sleep). He is also trying to discover the answer to the question “What is the Matrix?” “Morpheus contacts Neo just as the machines (posing as sinister ’agents’) are trying to keep Neo from finding out any more. When Morpheus and Neo meet, Morpheus offers Neo two pills. The red pill will answer the question “what is the Matrix?” (by removing him from it) and the blue pill simply for life to carry on as before. As Neo reaches for the red pill Morpheus warns Neo “Remember, all I’m offering is the truth. Nothing more.” “The film as a whole and especially the choosing scene is deeply compelling. Why is the choice between what you believe you know and an unknown ’real’ truth so fascinating? How could a choice possibly be made? On the one hand everyone you love and everything that you have built you life upon. One the other the promise only of truth.” From http://www.arrod.co.uk/essays/matrix.php There is a seminar next month that will answer niggling questions you may have and explain reservations you hold about “the way things are”.
