Pathetic+Fallacy


 * Pathetic Fallacy**: (also anthropomorphic fallacy) is the act of giving inanimate objects human feelings. Seen most often in anyone under the age of 25 believing that their cell phone really understands them, or in teen boys and their cars.

Pathetic fallacy is often used to do things like have the weather add atmosphere to a character's mood.

IE: if you're filming the end of Hamlet and you decide to do the final battle in a lightning storm only to have the sun come out when Fortinbras shows up after everyone is dead. That's some pretty heavy pathetic fallacy

The epic final battle in the last Matrix movie, the entire reality is falling apart... in the rain.
