'The Matrix' and 'Office Space' combined to perfection
Ever wonder how 'The Matrix' would have played out if Neo had taken the blue pill and not the red pill? Well one fan had their own idea of what would have happened...
Most will remember that iconic warning from Morpheus to Neo. Many can even quote it: "You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."
We all know our hero, the protagonist, the One, took the red pill in the end, leading to one trippy discovery.
But if he had taken the blue one, it would have just been another day in the office for him after waking up. It might have even played out like something as dull (but tongue-in-cheek) as a scene from 'Office Space'.
And with the power of deepfake, Youtuber Ctrl Shift Face imagined that very scenario. Keanu Reeves replaces Ron Livingston's Peter and in a particularly smart move, Hugo Weaving becomes Gary Cole's Bill Lumbergh. Impressive stuff.
