This would explain why Neo is faced with red and blue at every turn - a constant reminder of the paths he can take, and the temptations lying one way or another. Whereas the original trilogy saw Neo make his choice early, The Matrix Resurrections could find Keanu Reeves taking longer to weigh up his options. Yahya Abdul-Mateen's character suggests Neo is stuck inside the Matrix because he refuses to abandon Trinity, while the therapist proves "Thomas" is making great effort to silence his inner memories. With so much of The Matrix Resurrections' trailer taking place inside the simulation, the struggle this time seems to be between the real and digital. In the original trilogy, Neo's struggle was a man vs. machine affair. The red and blue pills might also tell us something about The Matrix Resurrections' maze-like plot. Revisiting the red and blue pills in this huge way allows Lana to use The Matrix Resurrections as a commentary on the franchise's real-world influence over the past 20 years. Whether recycling shots from the original or dropping lines that apply in reality as much as in-universe, Lana Wachowski's return to the Matrix lands curiously close to real life. Though the trailer is intensely frustrating in its mysteriousness, The Matrix Resurrections is clearly extremely meta. The fourth installment in the Matrix franchise arrives in theatres on December 22, 2021.In a case of art imitating life, the prevalence of The Matrix's red and blue pills through 2 decades of pop culture likely inspired the red and blue theme of The Matrix Resurrections. Lana Wachowski, one half of the original directing team behind the previous Matrix movies, also returns to the director’s chair. Newcomers include big names like Neil Patrick Harris, Priyanka Chopra, and Christina Ricci. The Matrix Resurrections sees the return of Reeves in his lead role as Neo as well as former cast members Carrie-Anne Moss, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Lambert Wilson, and Daniel Bernhardt as the formidable Agent Johnson. On the contrary, the blue pill clip is an exercise in gaslighting - the conspiracy is all in your head. It hints at the idea that a fight is brewing. Without giving away too much, the red pill option reveals the updated world that exists behind the facade of the Matrix, featuring franchise newcomer Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Each choice leads to a different clip that from the muuuch anticipated The Matrix Resurrections. The red pill, of course, reveals the truth: that the Matrix is a lie and reality is a far less pretty place than the one composed of ones and zeroes.Īt, the curious are asked to choose between red and blue. The blue pill allows those who take it to return to their regular lives living in the fiction of the Matrix. All that’s on the line is your entire future… and the future of humankind. You dont mind living your life without knowing its meaning but you can. Just to do a little recap: Blue pill represents the life in reality you created for yourself by your own perception of it and how you were taught to perceive it. Accessing the clips forces fans to make the same choice Keanu Reeves’ Neo did in the original 1999 sci-fi masterpiece: the red pill or the blue pill. I hope all people who will be making a choice really deeply understand what blue pill and red pill stands for. A return to the dystopian world of the Matrix is one step closer to becoming a reality with the release of two new teaser clips and a full-length trailer. The red pill Keanu Reeves is referring to is a significant part of the Matrix quadrilogy as that was what set the ball rolling in Lilly and Lana Wachowski’s 1999 release.
