The Matrix Scene 10 Summary

  • Ah, here we have it: the Wachowskis' favorite scene and one of the most famous moments in the movie.
  • Trinity and Neo walk into an old room where Morpheus turns to greet them along with some hyper-dramatic lightning flashes (oh yeah, it's raining pretty severely outside, lending a very spooky, ominous feeling to these few scenes).
  • They sit across from each other in old, stiff looking armchairs while Morpheus begins to explain to Neo what the Matrix is.
  • However, he eventually admits that explaining the Matrix is actually impossible and that "You have to see it for yourself." He offers Neo the choice between learning about the Matrix (taking the red pill) and going back to his normal life (taking the blue pill).
  • Neo chooses the red pill (probably coated in that fake cherry flavor that never really tastes like cherry) and then the fun begins.
