12 The Matrix Easter Eggs You Probably Missed

3. The Soap From The Window Cleaners Resembles The Matrix Code

More Matrix code makes an appearance early on in the movie in the most subtle of ways - so subtle, in fact, that it can only be read in a symbolic fashion. The moment occurs when Neo is getting a dressing down in his boss's office, who tells him he has to make a choice between one way of life and another. Neo listens to his boss but is distracted by the window cleaners on the platform outside the building. We see not one but two close ups of the soapy water as it runs down the glass, a discreet yet effective reference to the Matrix code trickling down a monitor. Neo does a double take and a look almost approaching recognition flashes across his face. Like the glass, his true vision is starting to become clear.
