These two movies have a lot in common even though they are from two different genres. Also they are two completely different movies. The Matrix is sort of an action movie that came out in 1999. But the Matrix isn’t just an action movie many people know that. Vanilla Sky is a psychological thriller that came out in 2001. Vanilla Sky revolves around David a man who has everything. But he still lives with his day to day routines like anyone else. He also takes everything for granted. The Matrix revolves around Neo a computer hacker who has 2 lives. Both movies show how important choices really are.
David and Neo make many choices that change their lives. Morpheus gave Neo two choices the red pill or the blue pill. The red pill would have Neo reborn and see the truth. The blue pill he would wake up and forget everything going back to his everyday life. Neo of course takes the red pill then he learns about the Matrix. He is also reborn cause of taking the red pill. David also takes many choices that change his life. Such as getting in the car with Juley. This leads to his accident which messes up his arm and mostly his face. When David sees there is nothing left in life he goes to life extension. Where you die and are born again and you’ll live without aging.
David and Neo both have the same fear of heights. Throughout Vanilla Sky David fear of heights is mentioned. At the end if he wants to wake up he has to jump off the building. During The Matrix Neo was getting help from Morpheus to escape the agents. He had two choices one that involved heights or another one that involved getting arrested. Neo was too afraid of heights so he got captured by the agents.
David gets introduced into life extension. Where you’re in a system in a dream world. He gets to start a new life similar to Neo. Since the person is going to be sleeping imagining what ever they want to imagine. There can be glitches in life extension which is what happened to David. When this happened everything was upside down he didn’t know what was going on. Neo goes into the matrix where he is able to warp reality since it isn’t real. David was able to do this in life extension. When he wanted one of his friends to be around him they would appear. When Neo gets hurt in the Matrix his body gets affected in the real world. David calls his enemies the seven dwarfs. While Neo agents are called agents. Both characters got to where they were because they were bored of life. Neo was bored of his life so he took the red pill. David had nothing to live for so he went into life extension. Both characters have a virtuall reality life extension/The Matrix.
These movies have many similarities although they are different movies. At the end of each of these movies you’ll be asking yourself is this really real. Or does this happen in my life. The two pictures are how both characters wake up. David is the one with the building. Morpheus is offering Neo the two pills one blue and one red.
