20 Things You Somehow Missed In The Matrix
1. Red And Blue
The decision between red and blue is, ultimately, one that defines the entire story of the Matrix. By being offered the two different coloured pills, Thomas Anderson is forced to make one of the most profound decisions in human history. Keep dreaming, or awaken to the horrors of the real world.
However, it's actually a decision that's subtly telegraphed earlier in the movie. When receiving the mobile phone from Morpheus, Anderson is handed a form to sign and a pen with which to do so. Specifically, a pen that allows the holder to write in either red or blue ink. Clearly not ready to wake up yet, he chooses blue.
