am i the only one who didnt see any chemistry between neo and trinity


i mean maybe once but thats it. i was really surprised when she said she loved him. they didn't confide in each other , they didn't even act like friends

reply

Nope...I never felt it either.

reply

Never seen any chemistry between Neo and Trinity either.Neo had more chemistry with Morpheus imo

reply

Not a shred of chemistry between them

reply

Trinity needed a bullwhipping.

reply

It's not like they had a lot of choices. Trinity can either fall in love with the ONE, or a bunch of sweaty smelly "thugs" from Zion.

reply

They looked more like brother and sister.

reply

Still a better option than the low lives at Zion.

While saying it was intentional might sound "banal", I really think that's what they were going for. First of all, seeing how their characters didn't show that much (if any) emotion in general, it seemed fitting that there was a lack of any real chemistry between them. Second of all, I believe the Oracle told Trinity she was basically going to know who the one was based on how she felt about him. So perhaps she didn't show her love towards Neo, but in the end she did feel it. And as for Neo, well, he seemed even less concerned with being in love, but that unquestionably changed in the sequels (for better or worse).

Yeah the first film have hints and in the sequels it's explored more. Nice explanation drac

reply

No chemistry + bad acting.

reply

Yes. I just watched this again last night and it really came off as not convincing at all.
