[edit] Age?

The article itself identifies two Birthdays (as seen in the film): "11 March, 1962" and "13 Sep 71" These would make Neo (in Matrix year 1999, as per start of the trilogy) 37, or 28 accordingly. Yet the character summary box in the top left states, "Age: Either 27 or 28 at the beginning of The Matrix, based on varying information given in the films" Can anyone research and clarify this? xowgax 10:56, 16 December 2007 (EST)

[edit] Horrible reading

This whole article reads like it's been written by a 6th grader. I recommend a total revamp. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chazwozel (talkcontribs) 20:27, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I've put up an Original Research template because of unsourced statesment such as: "The power Neo exhibits most often is telekinesis - he seems capable of manipulating any object in the Matrix through will alone." - according to what source? 62.88.171.35 (talk) 16:06, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Martial art style(s)

Can anyone tell me which kind of martial art [mixture] is Neo using, when fighting on initial stance with one hand hidden behind his back (like a waiter lol) ? You can see it in later Matrices, when he is already wearing his fancy suit I could not find such stance among kung fu et al. main styles —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sledgeas (talkcontribs) 15:04, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Thomas A Anderson

As an addition to the notes about his name, "Thomas A Anderson", I thought it might be nice to note that St. Thomas was the patron saint of builders and architects.

Which, given what Neo's role in the film was supposed to be, does have a nice ring to it.

[edit] Neos passport

http://heidilore.wordpress.com/2008/08/16/is-the-matrix-real/

Some personal information can be seen on Thomas Anderson’s “criminal record” that Agent Smith glances at when he interrogates Neo: The last update to the file was July 22, 1998 Neo’s date of birth is “March 11, 1962″ Neo’s place of birth is “Lower Downtown, Capitol City” Neo’s mother’s maiden name is “Michelle McCahey” Neo’s father’s name is “John Anderson” Neo attended “Central West Junior High” and “Owen Paterson High” (named after the film’s production designer). Seconds later a photocopy of his passport can be seen. There the place of his birth is CAPITAL CITY USA, his date of birth is the 13th of September 1971, the passport was issued on the 12th of September 1991 and will expire on the 11th of September 2001. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.103.61.65 (talk) 13:02, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
