Matrix Quotes:

 

Morpheus: "What is real? How do you define real? If you're talking about your senses, what you feel, taste, smell, or see, then all you're talking about are electrical signals interpreted by your brain."

 

Morpheus: Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream, Neo? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?

 

 

Oracle: I would tell you to sit down, but you won't. And don't worry about the vase.

Thomas "Neo" Anderson: What vase? [Neo knocks a vase over, which shatters on the ground.]

Oracle: That vase.

Thomas "Neo" Anderson: I'm sorry--

Oracle: I said, don't worry about it. I'll have one of my kids fix it.

Thomas "Neo" Anderson: How did you know I was going to break it?

Oracle: Oh, what will really bake your noodle later is, would you still have broken it if I hadn't said anything to you?

 

 

Oracle: You're a nice boy. I can see why she likes you.

Thomas "Neo" Anderson: Who?

Oracle: Not too bright, though.

 

 

Agent Smith: Do you hear that, Mr. Anderson? It's the sound of inevitability.

 

 

Cypher: I know what you're thinking, 'cause I'm thinking the exact same thing. Actually, I've been thinking it since I got here: Why didn't I take the BLUE pill?

 

 

Morpheus: Stop trying to hit me, and hit me!

 

 

Agent Smith: Never send a human to do a machine's job.

 

 

Neo Are you telling me I can dodge bullets?

Morpheus No. What I'm telling you, Neo, is that when you're ready, you won't have to.

 

 

Neo: *The* Trinity? Who cracked the IRS code?

Trinity: That was a long time ago.

Neo: Jesus...

Trinity: What?

Neo: I just thought... you were a guy.

Trinity: Most guys do.

 

 

Morpheus The Matrix is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

 

 

Tank: So what do you need? Besides a miracle.

Neo: Guns. Lots of guns.

 

Matrix Trivia:

 

Carrie-Anne Moss (Trinity) played Liz Teel in the TV series "Matrix" (1993).

 

When the martial arts programming menu flashes across the computer screen, "drunken boxing" is one of the skills listed.

 

The glyphs on the computer screens, with the exception of the call traces, consists of reversed letters, numbers, and Japanese katakana characters.

 

All of the references to street corners (i.e. Wells and Lake) are real intersections in Chicago, USA, the Wachowski brothers' hometown. The subway train has signs for "Loop," another Chicago reference. The film however is quite obviously not set in Chicago.

 

As Neo runs through the old lady's apartment near the end of the film, we see an image on the TV of a menacing man in a black suit coat. The image is that of one of the Number 2's from the TV show "The Prisoner" (1967).

 

When Neo is calling to get extracted from the Matrix, he says, "Mr. Wizard get me the hell out of here," a reference to the 1960's cartoon Tooter Turtle. Each episode, Tooter would yearn to be something he wasn't and have his friend Mr. Wizard (a lizard) wave his magic wand and make him an astronaut or a scientist or whatever. Inevitably, Tooter would quickly get himself into trouble and call out "Help Mr.Wizard," and the lizard would intone "Drizzle, drazzle, druzzle, drome, time for this one to come home." Tooter would be transported back to his old self and be chided by Mr. Wizard to "be happy with what you are."

 

Neo hides his money in a book titled "Simulacra and Simulation," an actual work of critical theory that deals with issues of what is "real" and what is "simulation or simulacra." When Neo opens the book, he opens to the chapter, "On Nihilism."

 

Check out the room numbers for Trinity and Neo. When the cops bust in on Trinity in the opening scene the number is 303 ("trinity," 3) and since Neo is The One the number of his apartment is 101. Also, the room with Trinity and the cops in the beginning of the movie, is also the same room, in the same hotel, where Neo confronts Agent Smith at the end of the movie.

 

Coincidentally (or not), M

atrix, Trinity, Morpheus, 303 and 101 are all makes and/or models of music synthesizer.

 

Almost every line spoken by Neo's "customer" in the beginning of the film ("You're my savior," "You don't exist," etc.) is foreshadowing.

 

When Neo is meeting with the Oracle, the music playing in the background in her apartment is Duke Ellington's "I'm Beginning to See the Light," a reference to Neo's continued awakening.

 

In the Oracle's waiting room, the television is showing Night of the Lepus (1972).

 

Names of people and objects have historical significance, all related to dreams and illusions. For example, "Morpheus" (film character) was named for the Greek god of sleep and dreams; and "Nebuchadnezzar" (hovercraft in film) was a biblical king who was visited by troubling dreams.

 

Neo is an anagram for One.

 

Anderson means "Son of Man," as Jesus is often called.

Hey, cool, a Matrix thread!:D Thanks lexx:D

 

I love the Matrix...in fact, you could say any line in the film and I could say which line comes after...I know the whole script...

 

Not that that matters or anything...

 

Anyway, Matrix, great :D I'll post back with something interesting later...

 

edit - you forgot the Oricle (terrible spelling) in characters...and the bedy spoon kid lol:D

is your custom title going to be Trinity?

 

hence this thread! I thought it would be better to keep all the matrix stuff in one place ;)

 

I think my custom title is going to be "Dodge This!" It goes with my avatar. What do you think?

What do you mean doesnt need a sequel, everyone wants to know what Zion looks like and what Neo can do with his new found power! The Matrix Reloaded is one of the most anticipated sequels ever! duh

I agree completly. What else can you see? Neo is now officially a god of the matrix. He can rip it apart without even lifting his hand. Oh, yeah, that's gonna make a fun story.

 

The only way I can see the Matrix continue is if they kill off Trinity. Think about it. Up until now, Neo (played by the worst actor ever.) has no motivation whatsoever to fight the matrix. Yeah, he's told it's bad. Wow. Show me a tropical fruit, and i'll show you a c0cksucker from the bahamas. Wait, no. Anyway, there's no way to continue the storyline. It's over. Finished. Leave it to the imagination of the fans. Like George Lucas shoulda done with Star Wars. Episode 1? My god man, are you daft?
