The Matrix Reloaded
Typically in movies, no one cares about the license plate unless you’re Bond. But in the Matrix trilogy, many of the plates are shorthand references to religious scripture. For example, at the beginning of the movie agent Smith’s license plate reads IS5416 which correspond to Isaiah 54:16 “Behold, I have created the smith, who blows the fire of coals and produces weapons for its purpose. I have also created the ravager to destroy.” And this is not just a lone example. Even during the highway chase sequence, Trinity’s Cadillac plate reads DA203, corresponding to Daniel 2.03.
