Matrix Quiz

sheesh pkgrl this question is almost as bad as oz's

was it scyfer dropping the cell phone in the trash? ( im just guessing now, totally no clue):rolly2:
 
Good guess since it occurred at the same location, but no. It's something that occurred after Neo saw the Oracle. :D I'll give you another day before I ask another question in it's stead. It's something totally visual. :D
 
'K, it's been a day, so the answer is any one of the following: Black and white floor tile, black cat (twice), or even the woman in the red dress (since, with her red dress and seductive pose, she's a distraction to Mouse and fairly devilish).

Here's an easier one:

What is the number in the subway station where Neo fights Agent Smith? (It's on the columns, and visible if you have the tape or DVD.) :D
 
Tim runs back upstairs to pull out his newly bought matrix dvd(cause he cant play his VHS with a broken VCR) and starts watching it in all its glory to find out the awnser;) :rolly2:

ok so i just watched the matrix again, sorry to take so long to reply, but the station number is 3:D:rolly2:
 
hehe thanks pkgrl:p

ok well then lets see what do i wanna ask


Ok heres a hard one, see how hard core u people are,

what is the title of the hollowed out green book that Neo keeps all his illegal disks in?

good luck to all;):rolly2:
 
Excellent question Tim.

The title of the book is “Simulacra and Simulationâ€, which comprises of a collection of manuscripts by Baudrillard that are considered by many as the pioneer of postmodernism. Neo's software was next to a page entitled “On Nihilism â€.

What's interesting is that embedded within the essays in “Simulacra and Simulationâ€, are the central ideas of Baudrillard that we are now living in an age of hyper-reality and simulation where nothing actually exist and everything are just simulations.

This concept is echoed in The Matrix, where the world that we are all so familiar with turns out to be an elaborate computer simulation. Morpheus even quotes Baudrillard after first breaking Neo out of the matrix and showing him a simulation of what the actual world looks like: "Welcome to the desert of the real." Cool, huh?

The essay, “On Nihilismâ€, explores the notion of “Melancholia†(Baudrillard 162) which Baudrillard advocates, is omnipresent in our society as a result of the huge proliferation of media images. According to him,

“Melancholia is the fundamental tonality of functional systems, of current systems of simulation, of programming and information. Melancholia is the inherent quality of the mode of the disappearance of meaning, of the mode of the volatilization of meaning in operational systems. And we are all melancholic. Melancholia is the brutal disaffection that characterizes our saturated systems.â€
(Baudrillard 162)

Deep thinking, huh? That's probably more than you all needed (or wanted) to know but there it is.


OK, next question ??????????????????

What is Thomas Anderson's (Neo) date of birth? place of birth? mother's maiden name? father's name? and what high schools did he attend?

I know there are technically 5 qs but (hint) all answers can be found at the same place in the movie.

Good luck.

sheesh! what a query!
*scrambles for his vhs tape*
i wouldnt know where to look first.
 
oh i bet i know where to get all thoose but i dont really have the time at the moment to look, mabye later today:p:rolly2:
 
hmm i thought some one would have gotten this one by now, might have to go look soon:rolly2:
 
I think we all knew at what point in the film it would be. Thomas Anderson's "criminal record" that Agent Smith glances at it when he interrogates Neo. But, actually reading it from the DVD is another matter. I found this from a website. Apparently it says:

The last update to the file was July 22, 1998
Neo's date of birth is "March 11, 1962"
Neo's place of birth is "Lower Downtown, Capitol City"
Neo's mother's maiden name is "Michelle McCahey"
Neo's father's name is "John Anderson"
Neo attended "Central West Junior High" and "Sean Paterson High"

Ok, new question:

When Morpheus is explaining how the world became the way it is to Neo, he makes use an old TV set. What is the make of this TV?
 
without looking, id have to guess RCA. but i have absolutely no idea.
 
Nope neither of those. :D

(You'll never guess the answer, you'll need to pause the DVD again. There are large and small words printed on the back. The small words I can't read though.)
 
Stuff like this is hard when you don't have a big screen :eek: but the answer is "Deep Image." Love the Wachowski brothers ability to keep an eye on every, frelling detail. :D

According to Morpheus, how many BTUs of body heat does each human body generate?
