In the movie "The Matrix Reloaded", there is a character called the Merovingian. In the movie he says this line:

Merovingian: I love French wine, like I the French language. I have sampled every language, French is my favorite. Fantastic language. Especially to curse with. Nom de dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperie de connard d'enculé de ta mère. It's like wiping your *** with silk. I love it.

And I wanted to know what it meant. Just out of curiosity. Thanks to anyone who can help!

Literal: Name of God, of whore of bloody hell of filth of jerk of asshole of your mother.



Idiomatic: In God's name; your mother's bloody, filthy, whore from hell, jerk asshole.

I respectfully disagree. Although there are some themes in the film "The Matrix" that are somehow familiar to me, perhaps in the Jungian sense, I think that the film was extraordinarily brilliant and novel. Nothing like that film has ever been made before. The entire Matrix series explores a spectrum of deep philosophical questions. I think the film is awesome. To validate your point of view, there may be some analogues with religion and religious texts, but that may have been coincidental. If you look for these sorts of similarities, you will encounter them in other films. "The Green Mile"- another brilliant picture. But similar to the story of Jesus. John Coffey- J.C. Also, there are some slight similarities in the Terminator films. John Connor, the salvation of the world, et cetera.

Just proves the point that most things sound lovely in french!



many of the words are interchangeable and have the same meaning, all are insults:



Name of God, of whore, of brothel, of scum, of b*st*rd, of c*cks*cker of your mother
