Matrix Overload
I just opened this so people could vote in the pole again.

mook
I say yes -

the matrix code was originally concieved to look like rain. (from the making of matrix revoultions).
this can be seen in various places:

M1 - the water from the window washers in neos boss' office (neo keeps looking at it)
M1 -the windows of the car when neo is 'de-bugged' by trinity
M1 -the matrix code on the screens on board the ship.

and as "Matrix Overload" said>I noticed rainstorms whenever you are meeting someone important. When neo meets Morpheus in M1, it's raining. When neo meets up with Smith in M3, it's rainin, etc.

Korri
i said its just there to make Neo look good....not that he needs rain to do that angel

but i think there is probably a reason for it

Matrix Overload
lol

Matrix Overload
i knew you would choose that one

Korri
angel how did u guess?

Modem
I do believe that maybe the rains there not just for the Matrix code thing but is rain regarded as good by many appart from Gardeners? No would be the answer so it could mean either that or the fact that it was there for effect

The Darkness is spreading

Matrix Overload
It could be there just for effect, but if so, then why do it so much? It really makes the effect get old. Isn't rain a symbol of rebirth or something like that, and in M1 neo kinda get's "reborn" when he gets out of the matrix.

Korri
who else voted for Neo? blink

mook
no one - its just you that is obsessed with him... roll eyes (sarcastic)

Korri
love oh yeah

Matrix Overload
Neo's cool, but Trinity is so much cooler love

Matrix Overload
and i'm cooler too beer

Sifer
Representation of both beginning and end in my opinion.

Verity
Nah Nah! I voted for him too! yes

burlyman
your all wrong roll eyes (sarcastic)

its to make SMITH look good

Matrix Overload
What? Smith isn't supposed to look "good", maybe to make him look cool but not "good".

SetoKaiba
I would have to say yes because it is supposed to be the final fight like it is supposed to be memorable and it sets the fight diferent from all the other fights they have had plus all great fights happen in the rain or water like in undercover brother the two chicks in the shower you cant say that is not great yes thumb up I mean it makes you want to get up and dance for joy Happy Dance

Korri

Matrix Overload

Korri

burlyman

Korri
i said...its not funny burly!

mook
thought were supposed to be talking about rain?

THISISNOTREAL2
i say it has alot to do with the matrix, but i think maybe the wachowskis just think the rain could call for a more spectacular effect, like in m3 when the fist were breaking the rain droplets tight!!! rock

Korri
rain!

mook

Korri

Matrix Overload

HannaBananabal
Hey! To each his own! Ever heard that? :-P

Matrix Overload

Captain REX
The rain kinda symoblizes the Matrix binary code flowing down the screens, to me.

Matrix Overload
i think it might symbolize calamity. Because that seems to be what happens when it rains in the matrix.

mailedbypostman
Symbolizes a bad day. Like when it rains like that, you ussually think of a bad day right?

mailedbypostman
I mean like it sets a grim setting.

Matrix Overload
exactly what i mean by "calamity"

Korri
im not gonna ask

Matrix Overload
lol

Matrix Overload
anybody see kung pow? that is the funniest ass movie

mailedbypostman
So thats what calamity means...

Sifer
Again, another thread that has degenerated into senseless shite.

Korri
sad

Matrix Overload
sorry

Sifer
Oh, I don't mind - but it should be on a General Discussion forum, not a Matrix one. I didn't mean offence to anyone - just stating the facts wink Happy Dance
