Was unimpressed when I saw it in 1999; remain unimpressed now.
Don't deny that it's furnished some ok memes, but I also have a problem with the metaphorical idea that taking a pill can bring 'enlightenment'.

The pills didn't bring enlightenment (not even the red one), nor were they metaphorical. They were a very real choice the character had to make. The red pill didn't impart knowledge. It physically screwed with Neo so that Morpheus and crew could find him. The blue pill, although somewhat vague, was a ruffie or something similar. The easy choice wasn't enlightenment, it was ignorance.
