2 small things I noticed after watching Matrix 1 last night post #1  quote:



This thread is for any little (or big) things you noticed throughout the trilogy!

Here are my first 2!

1. Switch looks a lot like Neo. I know that sounds stupid but go to the part right before she dies and says "not like this, not like this and she looks up, She resembles Neo.

2. The way SMITH dies in Matrix and in Matrix Revolutions are very similiar. Both times Neo ends up INSIDE smith and the way his body breaks apart like a shattered Window are both resembled in both deaths(deletions).

Any other little things like this you guys noticed?

I think Laurence put on more than A FEW pounds!!! And Carrie-Ann lost too much weight. She was waaaay hotter in M1 and the outfits in M2 and M3 cover up too much and I didn't like the big collar. Maybe just the ravages of age.

And Mr. Rhinehart (Neo's boss) also looks and talks very familiarly to Smith.

Something I noticed: Each movie ends with an arm extended forward in front of them.

M1: Neo stops the bullets in the hallway (right arm)
M2: Neo stops the sentinels (right arm)
M3: Smith extends his arm into Neo (right arm)

Also, even though Smith upgraded his eyewear in M2, it look as though the Agents had the same sunglasses from M1.

Yes, he was very insecure about it.
He insulted another cast member during the making of 'Enter the Matrix' video game. Laurence told him, 'You look like 10 pounds of sh*t in a 5 pound bag'. Poor guy was really talking about himself.

Did you people notice how Keanu, Hugo and Carrie-Ann were always in great shape during the whole trilogy. Very well done. I think Laurence is an over eater, but slimmed down a little because of the training for M1. I'd say he is over weight in M2 and M3 but wouldn't call him fat. That comment was his own insult!

I still think Carrie-Ann was better in M1 when she seemed heavier maybe she didn't lose weight and just pumped up her muscles more (muscle weighs 4 times as much as fat) well she was better plumper anyways.

Trinity's Changes post #14  quote:

Carrie-Ann did look very different in M2 and M3 as compared to M1. Her hair was a bit longer and they just didn't put make-up on her. Or at least the same way. Just look at her in the night club scene in M1 - she's gorgeous and entrancing. And alot of that is her make-up. Her eyes especially.

And even in the 'real world' she just looked better.

They also didn't put her in the same catsuit and took away alot of her sexiness and power for some reason. She had a few good fight scenes, but in M1 she was also smart and clever, full of info and snap decisions. In M2 & M3 she seemed tired at times. Or looked it.

I have been trying to figure out why they did this to her, unless there's a reason plotwise. At the same time Persephone was introduced, she became the vixen and Trinity was primarily supportive to Neo. In M1, Trinity was the total vixen.

This whole change has always bugged me because the Trinity of M1 was one of the best female super-hero characters ever developed.

In the "Things I Noticed" Column post #15  quote:

Getting back to the original topic... I noticed that all the hardline phones in the Matrix are the old fashioned rotary dial type, even the pay phones. And they have that old ring. Yes, I'm afraid I am old enough to remember. I think the push button / tone phones became more widely used in the mid to late '70's.

Can anyone think of a reason for this?
