I arrived at Jeff's [1] house just in time to see the end of The Matrix [2] (and just as I suspected [3], they had all seen Matrix Reloaded [4]). It was then that Jeff mentioned an interesting bit of trivia between the two films. In Matrix Reloaded [5], Neo meets with The Architect, the supposed creator of the Matrix, in an office filled with TV (Television) monitors, filled with images of Neo. But this isn't the first time that Neo has been through this office. In The Matrix [6], just after Neo has been arrested by Agent Smith and taken into custody, he's being escourted to an interrogation room and passes through a room filled with TV monitors filled with images of himself!
Curious indeed …
Just a clarification from Jeff (via email):
Just a clarification. The scene I was talking about had us as the audience in the Architect's office. We see Neo and the Agents in the interrogation room. We then pass through the screen into the room.
It having been a while since I've seen the film, and having missed seeing it at Jeff's, my memory was a bit hazy …
