Perhaps the extreme ease with which boring white right-wing cis men project themselves onto The Matrix's boring white cis male protaganist should be seen as a major political failure necessary for the commercial success and canonization of art by two left trans women.

I don't hate The Matrix, I just don't think it's a "trans film"... it's a super slick empty vessel film offering endless interpretations without concrete meaning, of which the one for cis men is most prominent, similar to a Haruki Murakami novel or a Kathryn Bigelow flick.

Lana Wachowski wasn't even really out to herself yet when they wrote that movie I think, which is why all the parallels are "subtext"
