"The Matrix" is a message movie which states that human beings become slavers of technology, because they rely on them very much. In the movie, there is a scene interests me. It is about Mophius asked Neo to make a choice between taking red pill or blue pill. If he takes red pill, he will see the real world. If he takes blue pill, he will retain in the current existence. Finally, he takes the red one. If I were Neo, I would have made a same choice as him; because I want to know the truth and do not want to have a fictional life under a lie.
In the movie, it describes that in the end of 20th century most people are controlled by a computer program which is called "The Matrix". They do not know that they are slavers of "The Matrix". They live in an unreal world which is created by "The Matrix". However, there is a group of people who know the truth. They try to save the world. In the group, there is a man called Mophius. He is the only person who knows the code which can help people. He uses his entire life to look for "the one" who will join him and help people out of "The Matrix". When Neo comes out, he is the one who is looked for by Mophius. Moreover, Neo passes many tests and becomes a real hero who really can save the world.
I already mentioned above in my first paragraph. If I were Neo, I would have taken the red pill and went to see "how far the rabbit hole goes".
I will take the red pill, because I want to face the truth even though it may hurt me or make me mad. Like Neo, even though he could not accept the truth firstly when he saw the real world. He did not regret what he chose. At least, he knows the truth and makes the choice by himself. It also reminds me of an experience which is about my best friend lied to me.
I remember that it happened at when I was in high school. I fell in love with a boy who was not single, but I did not know before. He lied to me that he did not have a girl friend. And I believed him. My best friend knew the truth earlier, but she did not tell me either, and even she lied to me. She said that she did it, because she wanted to protect me from the sadness. She might be right, but I think that she did not consider what I really want. If I had a choice to choose at that time, like Neo, I would like her to tell me the truth. Even though I would be sad and could not accept it firstly, I did not regret that what I did.
In addition, I choose red one; because I do not want to have a fictional life and lived in a unreal world. For example, my best friend which I mentioned above. She said that she wanted me happy so that she told a lie. However, I do not think I will happy if I was lied by my friend. It really hurts my feeling. It made me did not believe my friends easily at a period of time. If she told me the truth, maybe I would still have been sad; but at least I could learn to how to fix the problwm by myself. That is also why I choose the red one.
Overall, I will prefer the red one as same as Neo; because we both want to know the truth and do not want to have a fictional life. The truth may hurt us, but both of us learn something from what we experieced and macture after.
