The most interesting character in the movie I thought was The Merovingian. The eerie thing was that I just finished reading The Da Vinci Code just days before and was rather surprised to hear the name Merovingian mentioned in The Matrix. In The Da Vinci Code the author describes the Merovingian line as being a direct blood line from Jesus (mind you - the book is fiction). But this is a genuine theory of some historians. I'm not sure what the writers for The Matrix were trying to say with that name, but I thought it was rather interesting.

BTW - If anyone hasn't read The Da Vinci Code I HIGHLY recommend it. I'm not much of a reader - but I found it so fascinating that I couldn't put it down and finished it in 3 days!
