Hero Syndrome

First, I just want to begin by saying I really like this film! “The Matrix” is a like an older psychological thriller that gets more and more relevant as time passes. It focuses on the story of Neo, a hacker, and his insane experiences as he comes to realize his dual existence in the world around him and the world that “is”. When asked if I would take the red or blue pill in Neo’s situation, I honestly am not sure what I would choose. I think that my curiosity would drive me to take the red pill, but I am not sure how much I would do with the expose I would have received afterwards. Which leaves me to ponder about the message of the film and the greater general human desire for knowledge. So much of society’s driving force for creating knowledge comes from just “wanting to know”, but how much does this really matter?
