‘Matrix Resurrections’ Writer Says Movie will Reclaim ‘Red Pill’ from Political Right

A screenwriter for the upcoming The Matrix Resurrections said the meta-movie sequel will reclaim the term “red pill,” saying the phrase was “kidnapped” by the political right.

In an interview with The Onion’s The AV Club, co-screenwriters Aleksandar Hemon and David Mitchell explained how the new movie is attuned to the current cultural and political climate.

“Things like the Red Pill/Blue Pill trope or meme and how it was kidnapped by the right-wing,” Hemon said. “The verb ‘to red pill’ and so on. So one thing we were mindful of is how to reclaim that trope. To renew the meaning of Red Pill/Blue Pill.”

“To get red pilled” became a popular phrase among conservatives to describe the moment when someone breaks free of the mental control exerted by the establishment media and other left-wing forces. It is a reference to the original 1999 movie The Matrix in which Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) offers Neo (Keanu Reeeves) the choice between taking a red pill or blue pill.

You can’t “reclaim” it. That horse is out of the barn.

[rightazrain]

What a great publicity move! Red pillers are the audience. Bye Felicia.

Movie will suck like everything else from Hollywood.

[ThunderSleeps]

Yep, if they are going to take delibeaim at conservatives I’ve already decided it’s a no - before any reviews.

I might have seen this.

But then they had to bag on me.

[Spacetrucker]

Yet another franchise I will disavow. Idiots in Hollywood just don’t get it.

The left won’t reclaim “red pilled” until they stop living in their dream world fantasy utopia, i.e. get red pilled.

A real catch-22 for them.

OMG!   DemonRatz are not only humor challenged but total Irony Idiots.

You're going to blue-pill red-pills?

[BitWielder1]

The Left would have us believe that living in the fake world of the Matrix/Marxism is the Truth.
They steal words and ideas all the time.

Hemon added: “I am infused with a need to confront some of the things that are taking place in this country,” but “we did not set out to get into arguments with right-wingers.”

His Confirmation Bias appears to have him gulping blue pills.

We shall see.

........ So that is revealed as the REAL reason the writers wanted to create this movie????

[lurk]

The first Matrix was the only good one. The sequels were a waste of time.

And they want a woke sequel?

[dangus]

So taking the red pill will now mean something super-offensive to right-wingers? Like chopping off your manhood, like the original directors of the Matrix did?

[dangus]

Isn’t hemon a shewomon now?
