Watching "The Matrix" on AMC...interesting censorship choices.....

The line said to Neo by Trent when he arrives at the apartment: “Hallelujah man, you’re my savior. My own personal Jesus Christ.” ......
The second sentence was replaced with “My own personal juvenile delinquent.”

Odd choice, especially after the first sentence....but considering the possibly upsetting religious connotations, plus the context of Neo selling him contraband of some sort or another....maybe that’s just lip syncing an attempt at appeasing the masses. Cool

The next bit messed that idea all up.

In the same scene...seconds later....

When Neo asks Trent “Have you ever had that feeling like you’re awake but still dreaming?” To which Trent replies “Mmmm all the time. It’s called mescaline, and it’s the only way to fly.”


The only word censored was “mescaline”.... not a big deal, keep the drug reference out, but it was replaced with......

“Jesus”

“....the only way to fly.”


Ok now I’m confused......

What’s up?


I might also add, the word “Shit” has yet to be censored.

Heard it many times.

Not that I’m offended by any of the original dialogue, I’ve thick enough skin for dirty words and ideas not my own...and wile I’m not a fan of censorship in general (or at all,) I do get that there are those who desire wholesomeness in there broadcasts......but.....

What the hell?

So confused......


Any thoughts?
