seems like an important scene to me.

from the new quicktime trailer. it's trinity holding the gun.

wow sumbody aint happy

lol. It was bound to happen

That proves the merrovidian isn't that powerful I mean letting Trinity get to him and put a gun to his head. I mean if it was korri you could understand, she seems scary when shes angry and its about Neo.

HEY!!! That was MY line!!!!

no fighting boys

I just say that when people say or type what iwas about to say or type, or what i usually say or type.

mero's power is not necessarily phisical. H has OTHER kind of influences

So you are saying he can control other programs?

In other forums, people say that the Merovingian is Lucifer in the Matrix, and Lucifer was the "Lord" of the demonae, or of Hell. This makes me think of the Mztrix as Hell, and Mero. is maybe the lord of the Matrix, giving him power of the programs of the Matrix, even if it is only the programs that don't want to return to the source. Mero. may have been the first program to NOt return to the source.

Who ever said that Mero was powerful physically? Brains are the real strength in fighting.

tell that to smith and neo

Meo sucks!

lol well said!!

Do not judge a book by it's cover

true that.

heehee

haha

What do most men with power want? More power.

Seems to me that M is full of smoke he is just trying to gain more power to cause more trouble, abit like a politician who boast like they know everything but they do not.

Look how low he rated Neo even when Neo finished his off his goons, he ran off and still boasted.

Just to add, Lucifer was cast down from Heaven because he wanted more power. There is more depth to the Merovingian than many of you know

mm.. lets put it like this.. merovingian -"Lucifer"

Well of course he is

hahahaha everything in the matrix has something to do
with the bible .. for example.. Zion of course .. one of the
biggest cities..of the bibble..

Perephone in greek mythology was captured by hades and forced to marry him...hades is the god of the underworld

Persephone is the Merovingains wife......mibbe the Mero is like Hades???

Hades: He is that too And many other things

The Mero. was not helping Neo, he got the keymaker for the power that having him would allow, ie house in mountains with doors into city. Having the keymaker does not keep Neo away from the source, for Neo didn't know that he had to go to the source until after talking to the Oracle. And besides, everything happens as it does for a reason, a purpose. Nothing is coincidence. And as i have said before, the Mero is metaphorically the evil choices of man incarnate, ie power, lust, greed, etc.

And Zion isn't one of the biggest cities of the Bible, Zion is the promised land, the holy land, that which Judeo-Christian religion seeks to attain.

mmm.. no.. the promised land is Canan

I am sorry, Zion is also the name of the holy city of David, however, Zion is also:

An idealized, harmonious community; utopia.
The heavenly Jerusalem; heaven.

I was taking it for these meanings, not the literal Juresalem meaning. I apologize for contradicting you, this is what happens when you post in the early morning.

hahahaha dont worry!!

Tell that to a Rasta.

who is rasta?

but.. it is Canan.. the promissed land to Moises

Who is Rasta? A Rastafarian. Promised land = Zion (no I am not referring to Moses).

aaa ok"..that's different!

I belive sifer is quite confused. The Zion in the matrix films seems to have more of a coralation to the Zion of the bible. With their jewish back ground you would imagine they would have more information on the biblical Zion rather than the rastafarian Zion, which is taken from the biblical Zion in the first place.

You think thats weed your smoking? ... hmm...!

did you know ...you probably did... that reloaded was banned in egypt for its strong religious themes
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/2980432.stm

wow!! the poor Egyptians!!

In Rastafarian belief, Zion is referred to as Heaven, or Ethiopia. But yes, it is derived from the biblical meaning.

The Wachowski's said this when they were asked what religion they were:

Non-denominational

From what it seems, they have a vast knowledge on many religions, history, myth, legend, conspiracies, movies, etc.....

They said it themselves, most things in the movie have multiple meanings

If we overlook any religious interpretations there are countless others. Everything from obvious connections to cult writer William Gibson (and even more so Greg Egan), to the extraordinary displays of martial arts and pyrotechnic balletics of the Hong Kong action film, to comic-book superheroics, to the dark, downbeat look of the graphic novel, the plot arc of The Terminator, allusions to Hitchcock, The Wizard of Oz, Dark City, Ghost in a Shell and Alice in Wonderland, and all shot through with substantive meditations on predestination and what sort of becomes a Zen guide to virtual martial arts.

And Zion, in the Matrix, seems to be more of a "promised land" than anything else.
