The Matrix: Revolutions

I saw The Matrix: Revolutions last night. Spoilers ahead.

I felt the climax was weak... I felt no catharsis when Neo saved everyone. I felt more emotion when that teenager opened the gate to let Niobe's ship in.

The little religious symbols this time were ridiculously obvious. Even Ian noticed some! That cross of light on Neo's chest near the end. Sigh. Obvious!

The theater was packed naturally. Everyone in the theater was silent except for one person... And guess what? Of course that guy had to be sitting right next to me. He was just making me angry... saying "Die, bitch" when Trinity was dying, you know. I hate that.

A few minutes ago, I was listening to one of my Madonna cds, and a song came on called "Skin." Immediately I thought, 'That is Trinity and Neo.' It is though. Especially since Trinity wishes for Neo to kiss her when she is dying. Here, I'll post the lyrics.

"Skin" by Madonna

Do I know you from somewhere
Why do you leave me wanting more
Why do all the things I say
Sound like the stupid things I said before?
Kiss me I'm dying
Put your hand on my skin
I close my eyes
I need to make a connection
I'm walking on a thin line
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
Do I know you from somewhere
Why do you leave me wanting more
Why do all the things I say
Sound like the stupid things I said before?
Touch me I'm trying
To see inside of your soul
I've got this thing
I want to make a correction
I'm not like this all the time
You've got this thing
You've got this thing
Do I know you from somewhere
Why do you leave me wanting more
Why do all the things I say
Sound like the stupid things I said before?
Kiss me I'm dying
Put your hand on my skin
I close my eyes
I need to have your protection
I close my eyes
I close your eyes
Do I know you from somewhere
Why do you leave me wanting more
Why do all the things I say
Sound like the stupid
Things I said before
