The name of the Merovingian's restauraunt...

I read today (somewhere on this very forum, in fact) that the Merovingian's restaurant is called Le Vrai. Since I don't speak French, I went and plugged the name into Babelfish. Turns out that it means "The Truth" Very Happy You just gotta love those Wacky Wachowski Brothers!

As some of you have probably gathered by now (and as I think I mentioned before) the historical Merovingians are a subject that I am fascinated with. Some other fun facts about them is that the members of the Merovingian bloodline claimed to have been directly descended from Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. Now, the idea that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were attracted to each other didn't begin with the Martain Scorcese film The Last Temptation of Christ. According to the legend, after the Crucifixion (Which Jesus is said to have survived, since the really icky part about dying on the cross is that it was theoretically supposed to last for days, and he only hung up there for one day before being entombed for three) the Holy Family hid out in the South of France, and their decendants married into the Frankish tribe that would eventually spawn the Merovingians.

Now we get to the fun part. In the last two Matrix films, Persephone is played by actress Monica Bellucci, who recently played Mary Magdalene in Mel Gibson's recent biblical spectacle "The Passion Of The Christ." So if Monica Bellucci played Persephone, the Merovingian's wife, and then she played Mary Magdalene, the alleged mother of the Merovingians in "The Passion Of The Christ," does that mean that the Merovingian is dealing with issues related to the Oedipus complex? Whitelaugh

Also, the Merovingians were said to have each been born with a red birthmark shaped like a cross, either over their heart or between their shoulder blades. A mark of their heritige was also their hair; the Merovingians were often called the "Long Haired Kings," and yet our Merv has his hair cut short and slicked back. My theory on this is that he is a mere shadow of the being he was when he and Persephone first came to the Matrix. (Persephone: "He was so different.") Included is a pic of what I think he might have looked like back then.

Now i myself dont believe the story. but i do know the merovingians come from france so his accent would be a good finger pointing toward that...i also heard that the bros are big into opus dei and the priory of scion. but that could just be a rumor. but its interesting none the less.

Well, lordy. I can't get the picture to post...so I'm just gonna leave the link up there for now. It's a pic of Lambert Wilson looking quite medieval in the movie Timeline.
