Movie with red and blue pill. Noble Seduction System
When you are stuck in the Matrix. Your actions?
A topic for reflection for fans of the movie "The Matrix". Of course, there is always a choice. There are at least four options.
Take the blue pill - you can get bogged down in the Matrix even deeper.
Take the red pill - find out the truth.
Accept a lollipop from Pythia - find out the reasons for your choice. Know yourself.
Eat a "Frenchman" olive - find out the causes of events and phenomena.
What happens if you combine them? You can imagine.
Blue + Red - Then Morpheus finds the body in the "fields" of Neo and becomes his guardian angel (by the standards of the Matrix). Neo remains a simple inhabitant of the Matrix.
Blue + Lollipop - Morpheus and the team fly away. Neo learns his fate, understands what he needs. Brings order to his life in the "Matrix". But of his two lives, only one remains. But Pythia is equally willing to chat with both Neo and Thomas Anderson. Feed him cookies and ask him only understandable questions.
Blue + Olive - Neo remains in the Matrix to lead a double life. He gets a job in the secret service, becomes an agent - a hacker. But out of habit, he indulges in petty cyber-pranks. Or maybe not even small ones.
Red + Lollipop - Neo exits the Matrix. He immediately understands the essence of his destiny. (What the audience learns throughout all parts of the film) Takes over the ship. Teaming up with that bald operator who misses the Matrix. He arranges a coup in Zion and forbids the release of new people. Does not allow the number of inhabitants to reach the number of 250,000 that the Architect has outlined. Then he goes to the Architect and sets his conditions for the reboot. The ones named by Pythia at the end of the movie.
Red + Olive - Neo exits the Matrix. He sees the causes of all troubles in advance. He immediately hands over to Morpheus that bald operator who wants to hand them all over. Morpheus won't get caught, Agent Smith won't get out of control of the system. Instead, Neo goes to Persiphone and kisses her without question. And the first time - just right. While Trinity distracts the Frenchman in the ladies' room. Persiphone joyfully gives Neo the Master of Keys. They all go to the Architect and give him a blue pill. The architect retires, forgetting about the Matrix and becoming just its inhabitants. Neo becomes the new Architect.
Lollipop + Olive - Neo subjugates the matrix, not even knowing about its existence. He hacks the artificial intelligence with an effort of will and now the agents work for him. Although he does not even know that they are programs. The architect works part-time as a system administrator for Neo.
One problem is Neo's problem - you can't give your wife the phone.
What if there are three?
Blue + Red + Lollipop - Neo forgets about the Matrix. But Morpheus becomes his guardian angel. Neo somehow gets into trouble all the time. The agents hunt Neo in an attempt to track down Morpheus. And Morpheus is constantly saving Neo, trying not to get to the agents himself. In the end, Morpheus goes to the Frenchman and Persiphone and changes Neo for the Master of Keys, goes to the Architect himself. Neo becomes the new Keymaster. The Frenchman protects Neo from agents. Persiphone sometimes tries to teach Neo how to kiss out of boredom. The Frenchman tries to teach Neo control. Morpheus tries to teach him how to fight. Trinity sometimes visits Neo's body in the fields and texts him all sorts of cute nonsense about white rabbits over the Internet.
Blue + Red + Olive - Neo forgets about the Matrix. But he begins to understand cause and effect better. He becomes the disciplined programmer Thomas Anderson. He goes to bed on time so as not to oversleep for work. He is promoted and has a great career. Getting into high society, he meets a Frenchman. They have a lot in common. They both revel in power. While the Frenchman protects his programs from being erased, Neo covers his own - Morpheus and Trinity - from agents. Trinity falls in love with that bald operator, and he becomes the chosen one. In the end, the bald operator gets to the Architect and restarts the Matrix.
Blue + Lollipop + Olive - Neo forgets about the Matrix. He writes his own Artificial intelligence, which proves to be so perfect and powerful that it seizes control of the Matrix and the machine world. Not without the help of collusion with the French, of course. The Architect tries to hack Neo's Artificial Intelligence and take back control. In the end, he acknowledges the perfection of Neo's intellect and the completion of his work and calms down.
Red + Lollipop + Olive - Neo exits the Matrix. But instead of saving Morpheus, he returns to Zion and secretly hacks into the city's main computer. Changes the access codes that Morpheus knows to different ones. Then he goes to the Frenchman and tells him these codes in exchange for a master of keys. The Frenchman also gains power over Zion and protects it from machines. The two of them persuade the Architect to leave Zion alone.
And if all at once!
Blue + Red + Lollipop + Olive - Neo wakes up in the morning and realizes that he overslept. He does not remember what he did that night, and what pills he took. But he understood his fate and saw the causes and consequences of events. Neo goes to work and before he gets fired, he quits himself. Without waiting for re-arrest, he surrenders to agents and receives a sentence. Sitting in prison, he gradually bends spoons, telling other prisoners that there is no spoon. On clear days, it even sometimes flies. He often talks to the Architect and the Pythia through the walls of the chamber, insistently asking not to destroy Zion. Which leads to some confusion. Trinity and Morpheus occasionally visit him, both in and out of the Matrix.
One day in the middle of the night, Neo wakes up and sees that his cell has two doors...
What if you don't take anything?
“Neo, remember, I only want to tell you the truth. Take a pill.
- Eat your own pills, Morpheus. Can you explain everything to me in words, without pills?
- You won't believe me without a pill, Neo.
- What kind of house is this? Do you hang out with girls here? Where are we?
- The main thing is not "where", but "when". Now is the 22nd century. Machines captured people and we grow on trees, and clouds covered the sky forever, and people live underground in sewers, and programs hack programs, but it also happens the other way around, when programs get out of control of programs and reprogram themselves. Now - a question that seems appropriate to you in this situation?
(Neo, after some thought)
- Maybe we can open a factory for the production of your pills?

New person is the one who has the potential to change the System, update its version, rewrite the rules. In fact, this is a representative of a new species, a mutation, a leap, an adequate response to inadequate conditions.
Information about the New Man is in full view. But until you know about it, you cannot see it. The Wachowski brothers, the directors of The Matrix, were definitely in the know. And they put a lot more information into this film than it seems.
What is the name of the main character of the film? Agents invariably call him "Mr. Anderson." This is his matrix name. It comes from ancient Greek and translates as "man." Agents, addressing him in this way, seem to constantly emphasize this - you are just a person. The hero himself calls himself Neo. And that's what his friends call him. Neo translates as "New". And if you add these two names, you get the "New Man".
What is this film about? The question seems trivial. But it's not. And this is perhaps the most interesting.
I rewatched this movie the other day and was surprised that I hadn't seen it before. However, why am I surprised? We see and hear only what we want. And Neo demonstrates this in the best possible way. A key moment in the film is Morpheus's conversation with Neo about the nature of the Matrix, during which Neo is offered a choice.
This piece is very rich and should be considered carefully. Listen to the words of Morpheus and look at the symbolism of the scene. He says:
— Alas, it is impossible to explain what the Matrix is. You must see it for yourself.
He puts the pills in his hands and adds:
It's not too late to refuse. Then there will be no going back.
Morpheus holds out his left hand, holding a blue pill. And says the following (be careful):
“Take the blue pill and the story is over. You wake up in your bed and believe it was a dream.
Pay attention - Morpheus offers him something completely different from what it seems at first glance. He offers him awakening, the end of the tale. At the same time, the director gives a hint. He shows his left hand in the reflection of Morpheus' glasses, where it is seen as a right hand.
“If you take the red pill, you will enter Wonderland. I'll show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
And again reflections in glasses. Again, the hands change places.
What does he offer him with the red pill? Not an awakening. Not freedom. Not exiting the Matrix. Not her change. No. It offers miracles and knowledge.
When Neo reaches for his right hand, we see it again in the reflection of the glasses, i.e. like in the left hand. And Morpheus stops him with the words:
- Remember. I'm just asking you to find out the truth. Nothing else.
And Neo takes the red pill, then drinks it.
Flash of lightning. Morpheus smile.
There you are, Neo. You swallowed the hook from the one whose name speaks for itself. In Greek mythology, Morpheus is the god of dreams. And Morpheus is just the Latin pronunciation of this name. It translates as "the one who forms dreams." What can you get from the lord of dreams?
Only dreams.
The Morpheus in the movie is part of Neo's dream, and in Morpheus' own terms, another program of the Matrix. And the task of Morpheus is to prolong this dream. He does this with a convincing belief in the reality of Neo's character.
And it's obvious to me now that Neo's awakening was also false. The first false awakening was at the very beginning of the film, when Neo wakes up in his office and sees on the monitor: "Wake up, Neo." And at the beginning, he still doubts the reality of what is happening. But with the appearance of Morpheus and the second false awakening (exit from the Matrix), doubts leave him. He believed in what was happening, accepted it as the ultimate reality. But all that we saw in this film were dreams nested inside each other.
Neo swallowed not one hook, but a whole armful. Here is the hook "thirst for knowledge", here is "the desire for love", here is "the desire for justice", here is "the world with which something is wrong", and here is "fight with the Matrix for it all". All this keeps Neo in a dream and throughout the film we see how his subconscious is trying to convey to him the meaning of what is happening.
All his noble urges are the reason why the dream continues. This is his "noble temptation". The red color of the pill is a symbolic allusion, which is later explained in the scene with the girl in red, whose role is to distract.
While you are fighting the System, you are interacting with it. You feed her and you belong to her. As long as you have goals, you are still in the System, because all goals and motives involve objects within it. This is her territory.
Did Neo choose the wrong pill?
Morpheus did not deceive Neo in any way. He only offered him the truth . And nothing more. And there really is no going back. As, however, and forward.
Right is left, left is right. That's what we saw in the reflections of the Matrix. Both pills are the same. Both lead to false awakening. Only one with miracles, the other without.
Awakening cannot depend on another. No one will wake you up, Neo. It's not as cheap as you thought.
Do not choose, ignoring the System - the only way leave her.
"Neo, take these two pills - red and blue. - What, Morpheus, you have to choose one of them again? - Take them both, you fool! It's Duovit."I'm kidding, here it is:
- Welcome, Neo. As you may have guessed, I am Morpheus.Oh, how I love this moment - the moment of choice. So yesterday I experienced it somehow in a special way.
- It's a great honor for me.
- No. It's an honor for me.
- Please come through. Sit down. Perhaps now you are experiencing the same thing as Alice flying down the rabbit hole?
- Something like that.
- Everything is written on your face.
- You look like a person who is not surprised by anything because he thinks it's a dream. To be honest, there is a lot of truth in this. Do you believe in fate, Neo?
- No.
- Why?
- I don't like to float like a chip on the ocean of life.
- It's very clear to me.
Let me explain why you are here. You got suspicious. Until you can clearly articulate it. But it bugs you. You have lived with it all along. Something is not right in this world. This thought stuck in your brain like a splinter, driving you crazy. It was this feeling that brought you to me. Do you understand what I am talking about?
- About the Matrix?
- Do you want to know what it is? The Matrix is everywhere. We live in it. She is here in this room. You see it when you look out the window or turn on the TV. She is with you at work or at church or when you pay taxes. This is a veil that covers your eyes so that you do not see the truth.
- What truth?
- What are you - a slave. Like everyone like you, you were born in chains, born in a prison that you can neither smell, nor touch, nor see. In a dungeon for the mind. Alas, one cannot simply explain what the Matrix is. You must see it for yourself. It's not too late to refuse. Then there will be no going back. You take the blue pill and the story ends, you wake up in your bed and think that you dreamed everything. Take the red one, and you are in the Looking Glass. I'll show you how deep that rabbit hole goes. Remember, I invite you to find out the truth. And no more.
Any irritation of your senses, whether it be an argument with a friend or an athlete running nearby, an unexpected gust of wind or a phone call to Mom, an ad in the newspaper or a pain in the head - all this is a choice. Red or blue. You decide. After the blue one, you continue on your way as if nothing had happened - for you this is another familiar irritant that is forgotten almost at the same moment that it arose. The red one changes you in such a way that it is already impossible as before. I'm sure a simple breath of wind can change you only if you choose red.
"Choose the blue one," said Morpheus, "and the story ends right here." You will wake up and believe what you want to believe. Choose red...
- And it turns out that everything around is not real, but a computer simulation, - Neo picked up, - And in fact I am the Chosen One, a hero, I can fly, I know kung fu...
- No, - Morpheus shook his head, - None of this infantile nonsense worthy of a thirteen-year-old teenager. You are not a hero and not the Chosen One, but the world that you are so afraid of and do not love, the real one and in order to change it, you need something more than dreams and pills. Welcome to reality, Neo.
Morpheus extended his hand and opened his fist. In the palm of his hand lay two pills - blue and red.
“Ah,” Neo nodded knowingly, “I know. It's called mescaline.
Morpheus extended his hand and opened his fist. There was nothing on the palm.
- You will choose a blue spoon, - Morpheus said...
Morpheus extended his hand and opened his fist. In the palm of his hand lay two pills - blue and red.
"Choose the blue one," said Morpheus, "and the story ends right here." You will wake up and believe what you want to believe. Pick the red one and you'll be in Wonderland and I'll show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
"Hmm," Neo nodded his head, "Sounds good, but I have a better suggestion." How about I show you the "fuck" and you give me my phone call?
Morpheus held out his hands and showed his fists to Neo.
- You will choose the blue one, - he said, - You will play for the black ones. You choose red - for white.
Morpheus extended his hand and opened his fist. In the palm of his hand lay two pills - blue and red.
"Choose the blue one," said Morpheus.
Why is one blue and the other red? Neo interrupted.
- Blue Pepsi, red Coca-Cola, don't interrupt. So, you choose Pepsi, which means, ugh...
Morpheus extended his hand and opened his fist. In the palm of his hand lay two pills - blue and red.
"Choose the blue one," said Morpheus, "and the story ends right here." You will wake up and believe what you want to believe. Pick the red one and you'll be in Wonderland and I'll show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
- That's interesting, - Neo turned to the opposite wall, - Why, if you are talking pretentious loser nonsense, then for any reason you look like a cool dude who knows all the secrets of the world, but if you say at least a word in simplicity and with optimism, then you are immediately reproached for banality and primitivism?
Morpheus extended his hand and opened his fist. In the palm of his hand lay two pills - blue and red.
- No cookies? Neo asks disappointedly.
Morpheus extended his hand and opened his fist. In the palm of his hand lay two pills - blue and red.
"Choose the blue one," said Morpheus, "and the story ends right here." You will wake up and believe what you want to believe. Pick the red one and you'll be in Wonderland and I'll show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
"But what's the use of pills," Agent Smith leaned over to him, "if you don't have a mouth to eat them?"
Morpheus extended his hand and opened his fist. In the palm of his hand lay two pills - blue and red.
"Choose the blue one," said Morpheus, "and the story ends right here." You will wake up and believe what you want to believe. Pick the red one and you'll be in Wonderland and I'll show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
Neo took the blue pill with a big smile and popped it into his mouth.
“What, loser,” he asked the speechless Morpheus, “did you show off?”
