20 Things You Somehow Missed In The Matrix
10. The Last Scene
Finally awoken from his sleep inside The Matrix, Neo is greeted by the horrifying reality of the world outside. Completely hairless, terrified, and covered in goo, he is confronted by a machine who unplugs him from his pod and flushes him out of the system.
In these scenes, Keanu Reeves looks much thinner - almost gaunt - as the reality of his confinement clashes harshly with the healthy, attractive man we'd seen prior. This scene was actually shot months after principal photography had wrapped, to enable Keanu Reeves to lose the weight and the muscle definition he'd gained for the rest of the film.
