The Matrix - the significance of the window washer scene

[floivanus]

lol yeah it's pretty crazy.

It's true though. Marla is just another personality of Ed Norton's.

He basically turned into Marla at the end. They're even dressed the same.

Never caught that and I've watched the movie at least a half dozen times

I've been reading about how the soap running down the windows @ 6 seconds and again @ 33 seconds represents the code running the matrix, and Neo's subconscious recognition of it. I fully believe that's what it's meant to represent as well.

I've never noticed this before.





Also the squeegee sounds when they're cleaning the windows is also the same sound it makes when Neo is being flushed out of his pod. He puts his hands up on the glass in the pod and it makes the same sound. @3:12 here:





I think the window washer/boss scene is Neo subconsciously recognizing this shit ain't real, and he's trying to wake up inside his pod. In the real world his hands are probably moving against the glass sides inside his pod, making that squeegee sound, so in the matrix he sees window washers making the same sound (like when you're asleep and you hear a sound, you'll dream something that will make sense of the sound).


Think about this scene overall: He sees the soap running down the windows like matrix code. At 33 seconds if you pause it, you'll see that with the code (soap) in front of the city buildings, the buildings take on a cartoonish look. They don't look real at all. Also the boss is basically Agent Smith, talking about Neo being part of a whole and him thinking he is special and the rules don't apply to him, and him having to make a choice; leave or stay...(remember Neo telling the architect later that "the problem is choice?") Then add to all this the fact that the window washers are the Wachowski brothers making a cameo....

There's a LOT going on in this scene but it's all very subtle. I've heard it said that in films, you should try to use an opening scene that basically spells out the entire movie for the audience, be it visually or verbally or whatever. I know the window washer scene isn't the opening scene, but it's close to the beginning, and I think that's what they were using the scene for....a mini outline of the entire movie.

What always gets me is Neo was there to expose the Matrix and wake people up and he conveniently has a passport that expires on 9/11/2001.

9/11/2001 was the event that changed the world and allowed the U.S. government to pass the Patriot Act and create a secret Big Brother surveillance state, where everyone is watched and traced and tracked. Now watch the opening scene of the film and see it for what it is, a phone call that is being traced and monitored, all communications are monitored.

At 1:08 she actually hears the trace
At 1:45 the police are entering room 303, (33 is the highest level of Freemasonry)



The black and white tiles of Freemasonry are also in several places in the film.

Never caught that and I've watched the movie at least a half dozen times

I think Fincher used misdirection there. We were all focused on the buildings at the end, and not actually looking at Norton and Marla.

Awe, you spelled Sherdog in code. That's cute.

Damn, you figured that out?? I thought it said bagel.

I've been reading about how the soap running down the windows @ 6 seconds and again @ 33 seconds represents the code running the matrix, and Neo's subconscious recognition of it. I fully believe that's what it's meant to represent as well.

I've never noticed this before.





Also the squeegee sounds when they're cleaning the windows is also the same sound it makes when Neo is being flushed out of his pod. He puts his hands up on the glass in the pod and it makes the same sound. @3:12 here:





I think the window washer/boss scene is Neo subconsciously recognizing this shit ain't real, and he's trying to wake up inside his pod. In the real world his hands are probably moving against the glass sides inside his pod, making that squeegee sound, so in the matrix he sees window washers making the same sound (like when you're asleep and you hear a sound, you'll dream something that will make sense of the sound).


Think about this scene overall: He sees the soap running down the windows like matrix code. At 33 seconds if you pause it, you'll see that with the code (soap) in front of the city buildings, the buildings take on a cartoonish look. They don't look real at all. Also the boss is basically Agent Smith, talking about Neo being part of a whole and him thinking he is special and the rules don't apply to him, and him having to make a choice; leave or stay...(remember Neo telling the architect later that "the problem is choice?") Then add to all this the fact that the window washers are the Wachowski brothers making a cameo....

There's a LOT going on in this scene but it's all very subtle. I've heard it said that in films, you should try to use an opening scene that basically spells out the entire movie for the audience, be it visually or verbally or whatever. I know the window washer scene isn't the opening scene, but it's close to the beginning, and I think that's what they were using the scene for....a mini outline of the entire movie.

I'm already on it. That's where I first saw the thing about the window soap/matrix code in the OP. But I hate reddit's layout

I've always mentioned I like cocaine.

That's true.

Why didn't the computers just use cows? They could have implanted visions of green pastures.

Perhaps implied that by the end of the war when the skys had been blotted out humans were the only animals left to use?

The idea of blocking sunlight makes fuck all sense of course as the planet would freeze pretty quickly, not to mention killing off plant life and with it oxygen production.

I love film theory.

What I find more incredulous is that the “top software company in the world” makes their developers wear suits.

Pre-Google days I suppose.

The Wachowskis originally had it where the machines used humans for their brain's processing power, and not as batteries. But apparently the studio felt the general public didn't understand computers well enough to understand what processors do. So they changed it to human batteries.

Now that the Wachowski Brothers are the Wachowski Sisters, I think you could make the argument that Neo/Matrix is an allegory for a person realizing and accepting him/herself as transgender.

Wait a sec...they're both transgendered?

lol yep. Wachowski Sisters now.

It's crazy when the real world is crazier than the matrix world

Must be something in the water... or genetics

I think it's more of a setup.

In the first act, specifically the first 5 minutes, a movie is required to set up the theme. The one line of dialougue/decision/question that every single scene has to bring into question.

In the first matrix, neo is basically trying to accept reality. So I think the window washing scene and his boss' line of dialogue asking him to make a choice was the movie setting up the theme. That he has to choose reality or servitude.

The boss is creating the one thing neo has to question every single scene. Do you want this to be your reality?

The window washing, imo, is foreshadowing of what is to come. Kind of like it'll all click when he sees the matrix and have to make the decision to stay together at the same time.

I don't know much about the squeaking sound from the washers. People love to read into things and I'm always skeptical when it goes too deep. People want to believe things that sound right rather than accepting that something is just there. I think the squeaking sound was intended to get neo(and the audience) to notice the soap, because later it'll will make sense that his boss was really referring to the matrix.

The Matrix was a good movie but a stupid premise. The humans figure out that they are in a virtual reality that is made of code. They battle in that reality to what point? They can upload a helicopter, Gatling gun, black leather outfits, or do kung fu but they can't code a replicating virus to screw up the computers / AI or come up with a firewall capable of keeping Mr. Smith and company at bay?
