@cantido@allophilia there's a story I need to confirm about the subway fight between Neo and Agent Smith: someone I knew a while back on Twitter said that it refers to a real-life incident in which one of the Wachowskis contemplated suicide by hurling herself under the wheels of a train.
Minimal spoilers, but there's the one suicidal plunge in the Animatrix, too. (Saw that just the other day...) It's a theme that's almost bound to come up in a good gnostic Philip K Dick-style realityfuck story, I guess...
