This paper explains that the movie "The Matrix" is a whirlwind of
philosophical questions, concepts and thoughts; the greatest
of these questions and a fundamental question of all time is "to know or not to know" which is presented in "The Matrix" as, "Which one, the red (knowledge) or the blue (
ignorance) pill?" The author points out that this
philosophical argument regarding the knowledge of a new reality goes back to Plato's "Myth of the Cave". The paper concludes that knowledge and truth are the two most sought after materials in the world; therefore, the vast majority of people would like to know the answers to life's most asked questions and, being outside the matrix, would choose the red pill as the only way to get them.
