The Animatrix: A Detective Story
Written By: Shinichiro Watanabe
Directed By: Shinichiro Watanabe
A spare film noir-style detective story about a down-on-his-luck detective hired to find Trinity the hacker, early in her career with Morpheus. In black and white the filmmakers capture amazing 40s-style New York scenes especially impressive in the latter half depicting a snowfall. Using an array of old and new technology the detective tracks her down by hanging out on hacker sites tracking down Alice in Wonderland references. He has been hired by the Agents of course to help lead them to Trinity. The story ends appropriately with a gunfight on a train. Carrie-Anne Moss provides the voice for Trinity in this film.

Did You Know?
Composer Don Davis used a combination of orchestral and samples for the score of Reloaded. For one effect he placed
dry ice on tam tams, cymbals and the inside of the piano. 'The dry ice excites the metal and starts it to vibrate, and so we...did some
processing and editing to that, and those samples will show up...particularly under the Agent Smith character.'
