Just watched this for the first time, I usually don't like sci-fi and/or action shit. It was.. ok-ish.
But I actually got suprised. Is this seriously where the whole redpill thing comes from? Is the explanation behind this classic meme seriously so stupid, trivial and rooted in US popculture? While I feel stupid to not have known this I also feel fucking disgusted
It's literally a meme. What the fuck where you expecting? Also sage for not liking the Matrix.

The matrix is more of a technical achievement than a good story. It doesn't hold up to new viewers, but it moved the needle on what was acceptable to do in a movie and provided a lot of meme material, for better or worse. I watched the first two for the first time in a decade recently with my wife and we couldn't stop laughing at how stupid it all is, especially Reloaded.

I would neither notice it nor even think about the meaning of the two words for a second because it already has become one of our hundreds of completely meaningless catchphrases/buzzwords.

cool blog faggot

The Matrix is one of the best movies ever made. Clearly it is a pleb filter for the dumbing population.

Where the fuck did you think the term “red pill” came from?

redpill just means the truth, what did you except it meant?

Fucking zoomers come out and watch movies from 20 years ago and think they're smarter than it because what was groundbreaking then has already been in the miasma for 20 years. You have to remember bringing the sort of philosophical questions that the Matrix did to the public in a mainstream movie, and an action one at that, was something that was very impressive.
I've seen the two sequels in cinema as the first one as a young teen, and no, the "philosophical questions" really weren't that revolutionary or innovative. It was purely the techniques and aesthetics that made / make it a notable movie.
Also, it was heavily influenced by "Dark City" which was released two years before. They even used the roof set of Dark City for a chase scene in the first movie. Dark City came up with all the questions that you think make Matrix so great. I also think Dark City is a much better movie. It's more grounded, dark and gritty. Matrix is too sterile.
It's not about the meaning, I know what redpill means. I just didn't know where the term originated.

This but unironically. >Hey guys my mom finally let me watch the Matrix >It was Ok >Wait you mean all these memes that I parrot daily like a fucking retard came from it?

Ooof
Connor Sullivan
That's not really what that post said. Also I'm 29 you idiot, I just never watched The Matrix.
Michael Rogers
Sounds to me like your retarded!
Sebastian Lopez
Why is everybody on here so mean
Did you know you can post on here without an insult or so many swearwords? That would also mean posting without hurting someone's feelings :(
well it originates from morpheus giving him the choice of living a comfy lie or a hard truth Whats the problem with that? would you have been happier of the redpill implied alogoritbms or reading nietche?

Actually I'm just bored as shit and I make these threads to either start fights or have a discussion. I forgot how to do anything else.

because you come here thirty years ago after having absorved all the memes and culture changes without knowing it and then you try to minimize the impact of any cornerstone achievement. Insulting is for having watch something in their own time and being impressed The same type of dude that watches a horror movie on a laptop with the lights on and the mother making tendies in the kitchen and after finish it with constant pauses to shitpost you say it's not scary Like implying all if us retards for having some kind of emotion Zoomer opinions are worthless, you have the same atention span of a pigeon
I remember when I first saw the term red pill here on Yea Forums. I knew the term from the Matrix, but I thought that I couldn't possibly be from that movie. That would just be too stupid and "simple", so I actually asked someone and he replied and told me that it was indeed from the Matrix.
It's just so disgusting. I mean, I love the Matrix, but to have a meme from a blockbuster movie just feels wrong. It's difficult to put into words, but it makes me want to puke. I feel the same way about the term based, which is stolen from a black rapper. What the fuck are current era Yea Forums-users thinking? Shame on you.
David Hughes
You seriously watch these cocksucking e-celebs? Way to be a braindead zoomer
Christian Carter
Are we being raided today? Or is it just because of summer? Lot of dumb fucking posters today.
Just watched this for the first time, I usually don't like masked men and/or plane shit. It was.. ok-ish.
But I actually got suprised. Is this seriously where the whole big guy for you thing comes from? Is the explanation behind this classic meme seriously so stupid, trivial and rooted in US popculture? While I feel stupid to not have known this I also feel fucking disgusted
