Morality
LOST and The Matrix take two widely different views of the transcendent moral question. There is always a choice before us. Our choice is not predetermined. We end up making a decision regarding these questions, and the revelation is to know this.
The Fundamental Question
LOST
There are two sides, two players. One is light, the other dark.
The Matrix
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. 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.
