this is a good take

Lol. I didn't even know they're gonna remake it. Probably gonna suck like the Old Boy remake.

Cool username btw.

In a sense, he picks the red pill to keep dreaming about the illusion of control. Thus the reflection "hand swap". He picks the red pill to keep dreaming.

Edit: Idk man, once I though a little bit about it, it seemed so obvious.

I still remember the poster saying “now being remade by the producers of The Departed”

Saw The Chaser at the Cinema, still remember the poster in the lobby saying “being remade by the producers of The Departed”.

I'm desperate to find anyone else that found the same conections that I did. It's a very fast scene so most people don't really look into it. I'm trying to bring attention to the topic to see what else people thinks of this. Maybe I'm over analyzing, but my intuition says it's deliberate foreshadowing.

Edit: To awnser your question, I found nothing on this topic. Nothing!

That bothered me too.

Reflections! How do they work?

Ok. Got ya. Your thoughts on the symbolism are good. Have the directors spoke about it or is there any info on the commentary track?

I now, I'm just pointing out that Neo takes the red pill expecting to obtain control of his life, only to fall into the unpredictable and uncontrollable machinations of fate. Thus, the "reflections swap". He takes the red pill expecting to wake up, only to find out that the "dreams" goes deeper than the matrix.

Reloaded revealed that there were several incarnations of Neo, there is nothing of it in the first movie.

That being your choice, truly believe that way more people than you ever known would be attending your ceremony, even after death you are gathering people. Great choice!

Yeah, I was coming back after watching the clip to suggest that OP is over analyzing the scene.

As you said, the reflections are accurate as to where each pill is visible.

The reflections themselves are added in elements for aesthetic purposes.

I understand the reflection is correct. I'm actually talking about the symbolism in the reflection.

A personal favorite of mine is Shadow Warriors (1997): AKA Assault on Devil's Island

I second this one.

Neo is always meant to take the red pill. The movie explains that the " One" has been through this process numerous times.

The one movie I can quote nearly in its entirety, the movie that basically defined my childhood, the movie I have seen thousands of times.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

Came her for this one. It's a very interesting read.

The pills stay in the correct hands. Reflections are mirror images so when the glasses reflect it appears opposite to the viewer. But the blue is still in Morpheus’ left hand and red in right hand. Rewatch and look again. Put on some glasses and try it in a mirror for yourself and you’ll see the effect

Only once but Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe in The Nice Guys.

I preferred this movie when it was originally made in 1992 under the title Bad Lieutenant starring Harvey Keitel

This is such a great movie! It is so beautiful and score is amazing! As you mentioned every frame is gorgeous and can be made into a wallpaper.

This movies so under appreciated and deserves so much more recognition.

Pirates of the Caribbean
