    And thats why the choice matters. Morpheus didn’t rip him out. There were too pills, youre free to choose the other.

      Morpheus didn’t give him all the facts and rushed him into a decision before giving him the chance to process what little information he was given.

      That’s not a choice. That’s a con-job.

        Ah right right, the movie would have flowed better if he was given a course on existentialism and a detailed recount of life on the outside.

          the matrix reboot we should have gotten, instead of whatever the fuck that 4th movie was.

            That would be a better movie if the ending showed him choosing, but didn’t tell us which he chose. Leave it heavily implicit, not to get people debating but to put the choice onto the viewer, connect that dot to how we choose to live our lives.
