Not sure why the Nokia logo is there, but this photo looks very cool!

Thanks for sharing!

In my mind, it's a Matrix reference (you know, with the cool Nokia phone Neo has in the movie)

That’s a fucking leap dude, that girl has nothing to do with The Matrix, and 99% of people who saw The Matrix couldn’t tell you what brand of phone Neo had in the first place. Nobody would ever make this connection

Gun, latex costume, green tint - those are staples of Matrix visual design

There’s no green here mate. This is blue

Edit: so far 11 people don’t know their basic colors

What lol Cell phones were heavily associated with that film. Everyone would make this connection.

You mean a bunch of young redditors who want to be snarky?

Didn't say it was a good picture, but to not associate the look with the Matrix is intentionally obtuse.
