MATRIX BLUE PILL AND RED PILL MOVIE

The red pill would make him completely self-aware of the simulation he's in and, in theory, allow him to escape the manufactured reality. The red pill and its opposite, the blue pill, are popular culture symbols representing the choice between embracing the sometimes painful truth of reality (red pill) and the blissful ignorance of illusion (blue pill). On the other hand, the red pill would allow him to fully understand what the Matrix is and what the illusions were hiding about life outside the Matrix. Taking the blue pill would seemingly have no effect, as Neo would return to his normal life, having his mind altered to the state in which he was oblivious to the Matrix and any illusions throughout his life. Morpheus then gives him a choice between two pills, one red and one blue, that carry drastically different side effects.

In the scene, The Matrix's main character Neo, played by John Wick's legendary Keanu Reeves, approaches an all-knowing man named Morpheus to gain some insight into the world around him. Even those who haven't seen any of the movies are likely to know about the red pill/blue pill scene that's been relentlessly memed for years.

While this general idea has been explored in recent utopia-focused dramas like Don't Worry Darling, the most well-known and beloved simulation movie was released in 1999 with The Matrix. Barbieland is like a simulated or manufactured existence, and it's so perfect that most of the diverse array of Barbies and Kens living there are oblivious. From the trailers and plot information released about the upcoming Barbie movie, it's fair to assume that Margot Robbie's Barbie is simply aware that her reality is off.
