Good job the Matrix wasn't set in Korea

Why?

  • I'm guessing because of "neo" being rude

    • Sadly for the dad joke, the eo in 너 "neo" is a single vowel that sounds more like English "u" or "o", as in Seoul.

    • This reminds me, it's actually very interesting how English movies get translated into Korean and vice versa, since the nuances mentioned in the article are hard to translate / convey in the other language.

  • 'Mr. Anderson', c'mon (when the big bad referring 'The one', 'Neo')

    • Movie with agent Smith as a good guy and a protagonist would be very amusing :)
