7. The Matrix - Trinity Takes A Lifetime To Answer The Telephone
Feelings and emotions are important. In fact, they're so important that Trinity decides to try and confess her love to Neo while they're running for their lives from Agents. The film constantly hammers home how dangerous The Matrix is to its audience, yet Trinity decides to act like a shy little school girl when she's seconds away from safety. Instead of picking up a ringing public telephone and getting zapped back to the real world, Trinity dawdles and acts coy with Neo, only noticing at the last second that some scrubby looking homeless man has become another Agent Smith and is proceeding to shoot her in her pretty little head. Trinity makes it out alive, but Neo is left alone next to a now obliterated telephone with no means of escape - cheers for that Trin. With little choice other than to fight Smith, Neo stands his ground in an epic fight that ultimately ends with him running away and being riddled with hot lead just as he reaches a new phone. He may become The One as a result of his first death, but it's still Trinity's fault that he had to die to do it. Next time Trinity, just answer the damn phone instead of trying to splutter out some words in the most dangerous place possible.
