Each of these three bluepillers had very distinct avocations, and the directors of the film, the Wachowskis, made sure to portray them mostly as snobby, whilst ridiculing that snobbiness. For example, the Lieutenant is pretentious towards his superiors whilst oblivious to the fact that his superior is actually a sentient computer program. Mr. Rhineheart is portrayed as compulsively obsessing over his company's finances whilst unaware that his company is actually as fictional as the Monopoly board game. Choi, the reveller, is portrayed as serene and about to consume an LSD-like drug. Choi is unaware of the paradoxical nature of using a hallucinogenic whilst already living in a dream world. This paradox goes into overdrive when he uses language such as "you need to unplug". | Each of these three bluepillers had very distinct avocations, and the directors of the film, the Wachowskis, made sure to portray them mostly as snobby, whilst ridiculing that snobbiness.

The analogy between bluepillers in the film, and those in real life is that both accept things at face value. | |||
