Warner gave them $10 million, so they used all of it on the opening sequence with Trinity. The opening scene impressed executives at Warner so much when they showed it, they green-lit the original budget.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. The film differentiates the Matrix and the real world through color.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/img.pandawhale.com\/105760-Neo-Morpheus-kung-fu-fight-gif-2ZqN.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/pandawhale.com\/post\/38723\/neo-i-know-kung-fu-morpheus-show-me-matrix-gif\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"image-credit\">Pandawhale.Com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The scenes that take place within the Matrix are tinted green; those that happen in the real world have more of a normal coloring. The fight scene between Neo and Morpheus has a yellow tint, since it takes place in neither.<\/p>\n<p><strong>12. Other actors considered to play Neo were Nicolas Cage, Tom Cruise, and Leonardo DiCaprio.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/WSxm4Gq0Xv5fi\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"216\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/the-matrix-WSxm4Gq0Xv5fi\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"image-credit\">GIPHY\/Thats-N0-Moon.Tumblr.Com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, Keanu won out.
