Merovingian's Desert - A chocorate cake called "Sach Torte"


Merovingian treated a cake for a beautiful woman from the bourgeoisie.It's a famous sweet in Vienna.It was created by Franz Sacher, chief pastrycook to the Austrian statesman Metternich during the Congress of Vienna (1814-15), the cake was later thecause of a protracted argument between Sacher's descendants and Vienna'sfamous Demel patisserie as to whether in its true form it had two layers orwas simply a cake spread with jam and then iced.

And I think it is omage for an old German movie "DER KONGRESS TAZNZT"(Actually,the directors make homage to sevral movies).And the movie's theme song is "Das gibt's nur einmal, das kommt nie wieder"(English name is "Just Once for All Time") sung by Lilian Harvey.

I think its lts liryc is linking to Persephone's dealing with Neo.Persephone

Merovingian's Dinner - his wine made in 1959

I could not catch the label of his wine,but I got the year 1959 of it was provided.It was a good year for wine and also on 1st January,1959 Castro's Campagin trew Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista out of the country. I post the detail about Cuban Revolution from 1955-1959.And I think the situation is very similar to the ending of the Matrix Reloaded.Do you think so, too?


Castro's Revolution in Cuba 1956-1959

A general amnesty for political prisoners in May 1955 freed rebel leader Fidel Castro (1926-) and his followers from prison in Cuba; they promptly left for Mexico to reorganize their plans to overthow the Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista y Zaldivar (1901-73), whose regime was marked by blatant corruption, police oppression, and embezzlement. In 1956, Castro and 81 followers returned to eastern Cuba in a yacht loaded with arms and ammunition; many of these "invaders" were slain or captured by Batista's forces (Castro was erroneously presumed dead), but the rest found refuge in the rugged Sierra Maestra mountain range in Oriente province. For the next two years Castro's rebels carried out a successful guerrilla campaign from their mountain stronghold, from which neither the army nor the police could dislodge them. Castro's ranks grew to several hundred as sympathizers joined the guerrilla bands, which intermittently raided military installations and destroyed property. In 1957, the rebels kidnapped 10 American civilians and 28 sailors, but released them without harm when the US government and press angrily protested. Opposition to Batista's tyranny increased throughout Cuba, and admiration for the bearded revolutionaries who defied him grew apace. After calling for "total war" against Batista's regime, Castro took the offensive and moved out of the mountains in the fall of 1958. The rebels captured Santa Clara, the capital of Las Villas province, on December 31, 1958. Two day s before, Major Ernesto "Che" Guevara (1928-67), Castro's comrade-in-arms, had gained a coup by capturing an armored train loaded with weapons at Santa Clara. Realizing that all support for his government had eroded, Batista fled with his family to the Dominican Republic on January 1, 1959, taking the loot he had accumulated and leaving the Cuban government in the hands of a three-man military junta. Two days later Castro led the first of his motley columns into Havana, Cuba's capital, where they were hailed enthusiastically by the people. The army made no attempt to stop the rebel forces; indeed, most of the military was on their side and welcomed them. A provisional government was quickly formed with Castro as premier; gradually Cuba was transformed into a communist state supported by the Soviet Union.

Where is the Kid (played by Clayton Watson) from?

We don't know the exact place,but He is from the Animatrix.Neo saved his life in the short film.And in end of the Animatrix "Kid's story",we found his name on the grave.

And I notice that he annoyed Neo and Trinity in the beginning of the Matrix Reloaded.He let Neo say "Save yourself".It reminds us of a famous quote"Heaven helps those who help themselves"

Significance of Silver Bullets

I think Persephone is a very important character that she gave us somehints.I noticed that she talked about Silver bullets. Sorry I can't hear inEnglish clearly,but She said "No silver bullets" after she shot one of theguard of Key maker.

I know a little about "No Silver Bullets".We have a famous article aboutsoftware.Here is thelink.
(No Silver Bullet-Essence and Accidents of Software Engineering-)

Of all the monsters that fill the nightmares of our folklore, none terrifymore than werewolves, because they transform unexpectedly from the familiarinto horrors. For these, one seeks bullets of silver that can magically laythem to rest.

[Snipped]

But, as we look to the horizon of a decade hence, we see no silver bullet.There is no single development, in either technology or in managementtechnique, that by itself promises even one order-of-magnitude improvementin productivity, in reliability, in simplicity. In this article, I shall tryto show why, by examining both the nature of the software problem and theproperties of the bullets proposed.

I guess she warned them (and us) that there has no super program and Neo is not only ONE.And the Dracula movie title behind Neo.Trinity and Morpheus,I guess its name is "The courseof the Undead"( or "Horror fo Dracula" ?).And Such a Dracula movie leads me to Stephen King's "Salem'sLot".(Yes I love the novel!! ;))
