OT: Trinity's Death scene in Matrix Revolutions

[lonewolf23k]

Forgive me if this topic doesn't really belong here, but I wanted to discuss Trinity's Death in Matrix Revolutions again, due to new information I've found, and I didn't know where else to post it.

Now, I know a lot of people say that Trinity was conscious for far too long, but according to Arthur, King of Time and Space (http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/0606.htm), that's not entirely true..

For blood pressure in the brain to drop fast enough for immediate unconsciousness you'd pretty much have to take out the heart, wouldn't you?

Now, I recall that Trinity was transpierced from the belly down, which means her heart was working perfectly, so the blood pressure in her brain wouldn't have been dropping that quickly. Realistically, she'd have a few minutes of consciousness left before she died.

In fact, I remember an episode of Third Watch where one paramedic actually gets sliced in half at the waist after an explosion, and she takes a minute or two to actually die from it.. long enough to have a conversation with the guy trying to hopelessly save her life..

...Just felt like bringing it up...

probably, but if the purpose was to feel sorry for trinity and to feel our hearts turn out, the death scene was a complete and utter failure.

You would pass out from shock long before you died.

Anyone have a picture showing just how many rods had pierced her, and in what positions?

I'm not even gonna touch this one. Too easy.

Maybe. Or you might stay awake because you can't feel a thing. It just depends. You have to remember that in the dark ages when they would execute people by beheading them, the executioner would often reach down and pick up the head after the blade dropped, and in about 10% of the executions the head was still alive and the eyes were moving as if the person was fully aware of what had just happened. Often the mouth even moved like they were trying to speak.

Wow. I think I could have done without that mental image.

But I will. As far as I remember, just the one time in the rave scene in the second movie.

Wasn't there something like that on Faces of Death?

[Phil Clark]

Don't know. Never watched any of those videos. I don't find real death entertaining, not in the slightest.

Then you'd love Faces of Death.

Its better than CATS.

Faces of Death lost me a few years ago when someone showed me a DVD of it and had commentary on it about the monkey. The whole thing was fake. It really ticked me off, because forever, I thought everything that happened was legit.

Unsubstantiated at best. No historical or scientific data to back it up.
