Ok I read the topic names of page 1 and didn't see anything that looked like these were already said, but I'll say them anyway. Perhaps they wern't said yet.

2 interesting things I noticed in the large amount of time I spend watching the trilogy.

1) In Revolutions when the trainman pulls the emeregence switch to stop the train and runs out of it to get away from Seraph, Trinity and Morpehus there is a billboard directly opposite of the door. It is an advertismenet for Tastey Wheat

2) At the end of revolutions on the bench that the oracle is sitting on. There is a plaque that says In Memory of Thomas Anderson

I've picked up on more but for now i think those are two that might not have said. But I just joined so im not sure if they were

Greeting to another shining one! Cool

I did noticed the Tastey Wheat sign but not the In Memory Of Thomas Anderson. That's a nice one!

In M3 while Trin, Morpheus & Seraph are chasing the Trainman, i think there is a picture on the wall that resembles Deus Ex Machina. Isn't it strange?

The station where Trainman escape has a name (or just some entrance to the street?) Polski St. What it may mean? Only think that came to my mind is Stanislaw Lem, a Polish science fiction writer (and I like his stories, I would like to add). Probably some references maybe found because he wrote also about AIs and their development in time but I think some more explicit reference should be made in the movies to take it into consideration ...

Also, the time on Trainman's watch is different than on Rama-Kandra's. Trainman has something like 9,20:10 and the watch has 3 hands, while Rama-Kandra have a watch with only one hand and the time is 2,00 (or 6,10 if the watch has 2 hands, I can't see it properly). I couldn't find any additional meaning to it other than that the time on Mobil Ave flows differently.

Polski Street isn't a reference to anyone. It's a reference to Chicago, where the Bros. are from. If I remember correctly, there is a large station in Chicago on Polski Street on the south side.

How would YOU be able to tell the difference between the dream world...and the real world?

Ok I watched the part in the subway and I saw what I think was what was being referred to that looked like deus ex machina. I paused on it and zoomed in real close. It actually looks more like a skull with tentacles coming out of it. Doesn't look really like deus ex machina at all but nice find anyway. Could be something, you never know.

found something else! In Revolutions when Trinity and Morpheus go to see the Oracle. When they walk in theirs a table behind trinity next to the doorway. On the second to the top shelf of that unit is the same vase the neo breaks in the first film. I double checked the first film and its the exact size, shape, pattern, color etc. So when the oracle said she'd "get one of her kids to fix it"... they did. Cause its back in revolutions

Thanks. I had to rewind it like 12 times and then go to M1 and study that one for like 4 or 5 times to get it. But i figured there was something about that scene I should have payed attention to. The vase was it

My life is cinema. My (hopeful) future occupation will be Television/Film Producer. And with all the philosophy stuff I got running through my head right now The Matrix trilogy is the perfect target to take it all out on

But still, don't think a skull with tentacles maybe a good description of Deus ex machina, seen from a distance?

I also like watching the movies quite lot and the best movies are those, where you can find something new, while watching them another times. The details make good movies even better Cool

But making a movie? That will be too difficult and needs continuous and long-lasting effort - nothing for me. I am happy enough with photography.

Do what I do, keep the nice copy for yourself then burn a crappy one for your friends to borrow.
