20 Most Divisive Movie Scenes Ever

20. The Rave - The Matrix Reloaded

The Matrix Reloaded is an already divisive sequel as it is, but the single most contested scene in the movie is undeniably the infamous Zion rave sequence, where the underground settlement's residents are shown partying the night away, cross-cut with Neo (Keanu Reeves) and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) getting down to amorous business.

For many, it feels like a glorified deleted scene that somehow made it into the final theatrical cut - a wildly overlong indulgence that's awkward and tonally jarring.

But to others, the rave is one of the series' most intimate glimpses into how the denizens of Zion blow off steam amid the ever-present threat of annihilation - yes, including Neo and Trinity's physical release - and provides a stark contrast to the more sterile world of the Matrix itself.

On top of this, the soundtrack by Fluke is an absolute banger, and it's gorgeously shot throughout. Yet for many, it's a brick wall which grinds the story's momentum to a halt.
