ghosts,werewolves,vampires...

My last post was reffering to vampires in general.

The pale statement was more or less aimed at teh white people in the movie, obviously.

Have you just stopped making any sense now?
Mook asked “are there any other Vamp/Ghost/Werewolf references in any of the films except the obvious bit in Reloaded?”
To which you replied ” I guess the fact that most characters are pale white, homoerotic and wear sunglasses at all times is a small reference to vampires.”
“MOST characters”?!?!? I pointed out that there are very few Caucasians IN The Matrix movies, so what ARE you talking abut?

But if you’re not discussion Matrix characters please go to the Movies Discussion forum, there you can discus “Vampires in general.”

I was obviously talking about the caucasians.

The black people in teh films obviously aren't pale, but they still hold the other attributes I mentioned that are usually associated with vampires.

Councillor Hamann? The Merovingian? The Kid? Captain Roland? The Architect? They're white all-right.
But homoerotic and with sunglasses?
😆

lol

i found out just the other day that i was a vampire 😑

I'd certainly say that the kid and the architect are pretty gay.

Huh? Why would you say that?! The kid maybe - but THE ARCHITECT? 😕 😆

All I know is, Monica Belucci has some fixation with being a vampire!.She's been one b4, and lickin' on Keanu! She sux! 😛

That you think the Kid and the program Architect are gay, has WHAT to do with your origial assertion?

Also: This is a forum for people 13+. Further comments like the one I deleted will suffer the exact same fate.

That and the fact we have people running on the ceiling in Revolutions 😄

Yeah, your right, I guess I was wrong when I compared vampires and the matrix characters by saying they were white and homoerotic, the only real comparison they have is that they are all unimaginative and boring characters, like vampires.

👿

BackFire> Oh, now they’re ALL unimaginative and boring characters???? So you like the Matrix because… ?

yeah y do u spend half your time talking about something you hate

oh wait..

I liked the original because it had some damn fine action scenes, and it wasn't filled with that metaphorical bullshit that plagued the other two, it was just fun to sit back and watch.

Also Revolutions also has some fine action scenes without relying too much ot the "message" of the movie.

Here's something that I noticed, I don't know if it's been mentioned before.

In the Bible, Cain kills Abel. In the Matrix, Cain survives, but Abel is killed. Cain is given a mark on his hand by God so that no one will kill him. In the Matrix, Cain is a doberman, which mythologically is a lycanthrope. Lycanthropes have a symbol on their hand showing that they're lycanthropes.

nice reference, do they have marks in the films?

Oh gee... that is most DEFINITELY over-analysis. They were just 'cool' names.

but surely this board has shown that the W.bros dont just pick nice names - they all have meanings etc

No, most of these so called 'meanings' have had nothing to them. SOME do but most don't. Apoc is just a name, Switch is just a name, frankly, no matter what people say, Trinity and Persephone are just names, Morpheus only has the most tenuous of links to actually embodying anything mythological, and Cain and Abel are just, again, mythological names.
