The Animatrix: A Detective Story
Written By: Shinichiro Watanabe
Directed By: Shinichiro Watanabe
A spare film noir-style detective story about a down-on-his-luck detective hired to find Trinity the hacker, early in her career with Morpheus. In black and white the filmmakers capture amazing 40s-style New York scenes especially impressive in the latter half depicting a snowfall. Using an array of old and new technology the detective tracks her down by hanging out on hacker sites tracking down Alice in Wonderland references. He has been hired by the Agents of course to help lead them to Trinity. The story ends appropriately with a gunfight on a train. Carrie-Anne Moss provides the voice for Trinity in this film.

Did You Know?
The Architect tells Neo he will need to choose 7 males and 16 females to rebuild Zion. This is likely a reference to
Genesis 7:16, 'The animals going in were male and female of every living thing'. The total of 23 people could be a nod to human DNA,
which contains 23 pairs of chromosomes.
