the matrix

when i watched the matrix many yrs ago, i didn't really think too much into what was being said or shown. do you rmbr morpheus offering neo 2 pills: a red and a blue, which neo took the red? I was told that the red represented truth. You see, neo wanted to know what the matrix was all about. He found out that to think that our day-in, day-out world is real was just a perception and Reality was the world is a hoax, an elaborate deception spun by all-powerful machines of artificial intelligence that control us. I was quite amazed by how the plot was so well thought out. I paid attention the littl-est details and there didn't seem to be a slightest ambiguity.
Believe the unbelievable The machines found their infinite source of energy, that's the human brain power. The world we live in was given to us with the ultimate aim to fuel them. How creepy....
The blue pill represented blissful ignorance. Given a choice would you choose the truth or to stay ignorant? Maybe i would choose to be oblivious, for with knowledge comes responsibility. Of course, it's not that i dislike taking up responsibilities but given the context of having to save/awaken the entire world and be such a messiahic figure just frightens me. What abt you?
I like the part which they mentioned abt deja vu though :) i like their explanation :)
