    It always makes me feel like an old fart to say this but I don't think these kids born in 1995 know what 1999 was likehttps://twitter.com/BootlegGirl/status/1291131676458917888 …

    Seeing people posting wrt Lilly Wachowski confirming the Matrix = trans metaphor theme and saying we need more than metaphors I agree! Did you watch the video? Did you watch the part where Wachowski says the reason it wasn't explicit was corporate culture in 1999?

        Look the suits really cruelly and thoroughly excised ANYTHING that could be seen as overtly queer from this movie - including an *actual unambiguously trans character* in the original script And it's still a really queer movie, somehow

        Come on don't tell me you actually think when Lana was writing Trinity and designing her outfit and directing Carrie Ann Moss how to play her and all that that she was thinking "straight girl"

        Especially because the same taboos about gay or trans characters persisted far beyond 1999.

        after all they couldn't even come out as trans at the time, and clearly they had already realized that themselves when they always intended that metaphor.

        A movie could live or die on Weinstein's approval. He would get final cut authority sometimes which is fucking nuts. He demanded changes because something was "too f--gy", which is just standard disgusting. Maybe we should tell the young'ns about Jon Peters sometime...

        People compare Dark City and The Matrix all the time but they really couldn't be more different. Yes, they *look* similar and use some similar ideas, but they're *about* entirely different things.
