[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] Saw it today, at the swedish premiere. *clears throat*. BTW OMG WTF LOL!!!! I liked it. One thing about the killing of "innocents" that are still in the matrix, most of the adults are lost causes anyway, too old to be freed. The case of Neo was made to seem very unusual (26? 27 years old?). Councillor Hamann (Anthony Zerbe) revealed that he was liberated at age 11. Which leads us to [b]Easter Egg 1 (Animatrix cameo $$$):[/b] For those of you who have seen the Animatrix short movies, the last one, "Kid's story", revolves around a young schoolkid that has suspicions and doubts about the state of the "world". He is currently the only person we've seen so far that has liberated himself! Through suicide, by having strong enough faith that he will meet Neo and Morpheus in the afterlife. That kid is in "Matrix Reloaded", runs around Neo like a puppy. He is called "kid" in both movies, the actor (and voice actor) is Clayton Watson, age 24 IRL. [b]Easter Egg 2:[/b] When the Architect gives Neo the rundown on the history of the Matrix, and shows pictures on the screens behind him of the new and better Matrix, now with sorrow, strife and misery inserted to keep people good and unhappy, there's a brief clip of George W Bush in there! Very cocky of the Wachowskis, methinks. What are the ramifications of this symbolism? Dubuya is a program here? Installed to screw things up grandly to keep the status quo? :) Anyone catch any other easter eggs? PS: Hedy Burress has the sexiest voice ever, mm-mm-mm. PS II: Nice touch with the albino "Twins" actually being two real twins. Hey, why make it complicated? [b]Gripes:[/b] The mouth-diarrhea of "Merovingian", jesus that guy wouldn't shut up! And he didn't even fight either, why's he so dangerous? Shrewd management skills? Lethally harsh language (pardon my french)? Also, the blatant use of "Deus ex Machina" with Neo saving the day on the freeway, and again when doing surgery on Trinity. But I don't have any better suggestions, so it's fine by me. Besides, I'm happier with Trinity sticking around. :-) Just one thing; how the hell will people cope with what happened to the hundreds of victims and cars that got sucked into Neo's "wake", when saving Trinity? Sporadic horisontal-tornado? [/QB][/QUOTE]
