The article "Red pill or Blue Pill: Is Ignorance bliss? is about the movie 'The Matrix' being compared to the movie "Alice In Wonderland" for their similarities between the real world and wonderland, In these movies, both characters Neo and Alice were confused by what is real and what is not real. Have you ever read the short story 'Allegory of the Cave' this short story also relates alot to the concept of these movies in which the characters in Allegory of the Cave were chained by their necks and legs in a cave filled with only darkness since their childhood.
When one of the prisoners were able to escape, he saw the light. he saw our world. and was confused because he had only known darkness. The darkness was the only truth as The Matrix was the only truth Neo thought he knew although he felt different and was given the chance to leave the matrix (which is another name for our world) to know the real truth and how our minds are trained to believe what we want to believe. that our body would be complete nothing without our mind. It took a while for Alice, Neo and The escaped prisoner to get use to this new life, The real world. The truth that ignorance cannot be bliss.
