Red pill and blue pill
The red pill and its opposite, the blue pill, are popular culture symbols representing the choice between embracing the sometimes painful truth of reality (red pill) and the blissful ignorance of illusion (blue pill).
The terms, popularized in science fiction culture, are derived from the 1999 film ''The Matrix''. In the film, the main character Neo is offered the choice between a red pill and a blue pill. The blue pill would allow him to remain in the fabricated reality of the Matrix, therefore living the "ignorance of illusion", while the red pill would lead to his escape from the Matrix and into the real world, therefore living the "truth of reality" even though it is a harsher, more difficult life.
==Background==
''The Matrix'' makes references to historical myths and philosophy, including gnosticism, existentialism, and nihilism.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/24/arts/24MATR.html〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Journal of Religion & Film: Wake Up! Gnosticism and Buddhism in The Matrix by Frances Flannery-Daily and Rachel Wagner )〕 The film's premise resembles Plato's Allegory of the cave,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=You Won’t Know the Difference So You Can’t Make the Choice )〕 René Descartes's skepticism〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Skepticism )〕 and evil demon, Kant's reflections on the Phenomenon versus the Ding an sich, Zhuangzi's "Zhuangzi dreamed he was a butterfly", the concept of a simulated reality and the brain in a vat thought experiment.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Brain in a Vat Argument, The - Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Philosophers Explore The Matrix )〕
Japanese director Mamoru Oshii's ''Ghost in the Shell'' was a strong influence.
