20 Things You Somehow Missed In The Matrix

That attention to detail didn't stop there though, as to better accentuate the putrid greens of the Matrix, Director of Photography Bill Pope gave the real world a contrasting blue hue all of its own.

Speaking in an interview after the movie, he said; "from the Nebuchadnezzar and the pods, ‘reality’ was given a cooler look, a bluer, more normal, less sickly look. The future in the film is cold, the sun is blotted out, there is no real warmth unless it is artificial heat, so that is why they went for the cool side. The Matrix should make you feel sick, and in ‘reality’ you should feel a little more at home, but never comfortable".
