The term bluepill was coined in the film The Matrix by Laurence Fishburne who starred as Morpheus. Although the synopsis of the film fails to mention it, bluepilled philosphy was actually a central theme in the film. For example, the plot of the film claims that Joe Pantoliano whilst starring as Cypher had initially embraced the red pill. Cypher initially wanted truth over fiction, even if that truth might have been uncomfortable. After Cypher learns the truth, he gradually becomes more and more uncomfortable with it. It gets to the stage where Cypher regrets that he had taken the red pill. This culminates into Cypher eventually siding with the enemy of the redpillers in an attempt to return to his bluepilled state. He does this by striking a deal with intelligent machines to collaborate with them in apprehending redpillers in exchange for returning him to his previously blissfully ignorant state; i.e. become bluepilled. | |||
