“The Matrix” is one of my all-time favourite films (okay, the sequels stank the place out, but that’s another story).
I’ve watched it many times over the years, drawn back to its intriguing, complex narrative, fine script and acting, and stunning visuals. Oh, and to the mouth-watering sight of Carrie-Anne Moss’s stunningly tight little arse. Especially to the sight of Carrie-Anne Moss’s stunningly tight little arse.
It appears, however, that there’s a more deeply philosophical interpretation of the film which has eluded my understanding until now. “The Matrix”, I’ve learned, is a trans allegory!
I’m deeply grateful to one Kenzie Lutece for this staggering insight. Lutece is a self-styled “trans, Jewish and leftist”, who writes of the film that while “the messages about ‘breaking from the systems of oppression’ are generally applicable (the battery metaphor is obviously ** capitalism), much of the movie’s symbolism and language is ‘explicitly’ trans”. Anyone seeking a more detailed presentation of this thesis may care to try the link below.
There’s obviously something to this; I mean, haven’t the Wachowski brothers now come out as the Wachowski sisters?
Be that as it may, I’m deeply indebted to Lutece for deeping my understanding of the complexities of the film. That “The Matrix” is a trans allegory is something that I really needed to know, and this will indeed take my enjoyment and appreciation of this classic to a new level, as I’m sure it will yours.
*cough*
**obviously? yeah, right.
