The Wachowski brothers are starting to gain their own space in the American Cinema. The Matrix was their first big hit. The first of this very successful trilogy incorporates one of the biggest moments of 1999 cinema has offered. Would you take the blue pill, or the red one? That applies to almost every second of our life, and whether you want it or not, choosing between the comfort of the easy way, keeping your mind away from the brutality of the cold knowledge or the opposite one. Easy to say, bloody hard to materialise. If you don't agree, you've taken the blue pill way to many times. Keanu Reeves is good, as Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss and Hugo Weaving. I won't analyse the fighting or the incredibly hot chick with amazing skills in fighting that we can presumes since the beginning that will end up in love with the main character, that was obviously included for selling, and obviously resulted. Apart from that, is amazing how you find out great deep thoughts in common movies such as The Matrix, and the pills scene is not the only one, the movie as a great connection with the last year Crhis Nolan hit Inception, as both ask what makes reality more real than everything else that we assume not to be. I don't agree very much Morpheus point of defining reality though, but the idea remains. 8/10
