You’ve Already Seen One Of The Greatest Red Pill Movies Ever Made

By

The red pill is a common metaphor that roughly equates to “truth,” of seeing things as they really are. It came from The Matrix, a movie where the main character is unplugged from a false reality and introduced into the real world. One of the better red pill movies is actually The Truman Show. 

Truman begins learning the truth of his false existence where he’s an unwilling participant in a reality show. The city he believes he lives in is nothing more than a massive Hollywood sound stage. In the movie there’s an interview with the show’s creator, the god of Truman’s life:

Reporter: “Why do you think Truman has taken so long to understand the true nature of his world?”

Creator: “We accept the reality of the world with which we’re presented.”

Reporter: “If he absolutely wanted to discover the truth, there is no way we can prevent him.”

Creator: “Truman prefers his cell.”

He does not, eventually deciding to take the red pill. The most poignant moment of the movie is him banging on the wall of his large jail, of coming to the realization of his lifelong imprisonment.

The irony of game and learning how to get laid is that it primes you for the red pill. Men get into the game for sex, but dealing with the large quantity of women that is necessary for mastering it starts to teach you the true nature of women and all the little lies that society tells you about the sexes. The truth will set you free, but the sad fact is that many men rather remain plugged in.

    The worst thing about taking the red pill is that your family (who are all blue pill) becomes increasingly frustrated with you; thinking you’ve become a sexist monster and not realizing the truth behind the matter. Personally, i’ve grown tired of having them hint at me at setting me up with an unattractive girl who will hit the wall within a few years, simply because of their belief that i can’t find myself a ‘decent girl’ to settle down with.

    I would much rather stay single, safe in the knowledge that i’m financially safe and free from drama and bullshit.

    I’m surprised that I haven’t read anyone pointing out the merits of how much more alpha the guys in older movies were. The movies from the thirties and forties seem to have much more manly men then our movies today.

    The movies in which Errol Flynn starred were not terribly good, but you can really see an alpha from two generations ago.

    I agree. I recently flipped over to TCM this past weekend. Some random WWII movie was on. Clark Gable was the star and just watching 5 minutes of that film, I could tell he was more alpha than most men today. Men back then weren’t as reactive. They spoke with purpose and their confidence showed on their faces like it was etched their in stone.

    There’s not that much masculinity left in the movies these days, even the 60s had the Newman’s, Redford’s and McQueens.

    Well written. I had almost forgot about the Truman Show! And yes, it is hard having to put up with everybody else’s blue pill attitudes. Sometimes you just want to shake a male feminist vigorously and shout, “you’re betraying your own kind, you lily-white manboob!”

    Good points made in the post and the commentary. The truth is never pretty. In fact it’s the most ugly thing out there. Having been raised on the blue bill my whole life everything, and I mean everything gets turned upside down once you take the red pill; all the things you put value on in your life no longer has value. And it seems as if nothing in life has any meaning. I even have had to stop seeing most of my male friends as a result. It can be a lonely place but once you unplug you can never go back and live in a politically correct world again.

      Excellent point. That is where I’m at now, my life has been completely turned upside down and I find it extremely hard to relate to “normal” people.
      I’ve become disenchanted with everything – my career, education, and life choices.
      Once you take the red pill, you can truly never “go home” again.

    Am I the only red-pill eater who’s seen “In the Company of Men”? It unabashedly portrarys alpha vs. beta and female psychology as well as anything I’ve ever seen, but nobody else ever mentions it.

    I feel like I’m hanging out with sci-fi nerds who simply refuse to watch Star Wars.

      I guess a quick plug for it. It’s about two guys who go full on at the same time for an average chick who’s given up on love. The idea is for them to then both dump her at the same time and leave her scarred for life. Good stuff.
