The Matrix (1999)

Trivia: In the scene where Neo and Morpheus go to see the Oracle, there is a blind man sitting across from the elevator who acknowledges them despite being blind. In Greek mythology, characters associated with prophesies tend to be blind, such as the blind prophet Tiresias from "The Odyssey", "Oedipus the King", and "Antigone." Considering how Neo is about to meet with the Oracle for the first time, this may be a nod to that common occurrence in Greek literature. (01:09:15)

Trivia: Penelope Cruz, who plays Angelica, was pregnant for about half the filming process. In certain scenes, the director had to try his best to make sure her stomach wasn't shown.

Trivia: In the Red Queen's castle, after the Mad Hatter is arrested, you see a large mural on her wall around the doors. There you can see the Red Queen riding the Jabberwocky in the same looking armor as Alice later wears. You can also see the Pheonix from the book "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland"
