Does that mean that in 2 and 3 where there were hundreds of Smiths, that was an allegory for all the different genders? TBH I never really read into all the allegories so IDK...Although I think you're being facetious. I liked the movies...The outside noise never bothered me either way. Trans allegories? Cool. Not that? Also cool. Maybe it's just me, but people take these hinted at themes way too seriously in art. If I enjoy the movie/song whatever the medium, I just do. People will find any reason to bish about ish IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outlaw Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 On 8/8/2020 at 12:28 AM, NOTW said: In the Netflix documentary Disclosure, which tracks the history of trans representation in media across the generations, filmmaker Lilly Wachowski discusses how "being out and trans forces people to look back on my work and apply a trans narrative to it." That includes The Matrix, which many in the trans community now see as an allegory for their experience. In a separate video interview with Netflix, released this week, Wachowski, who created the sci-fi actioner with sibling Lana, says that allegory was indeed "the original intention" for the movie. Amazing that both siblings have the same mental illness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Omega Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I'm about halfway through the new one. Going with less convincing/capable stunt people was an interesting choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrive Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I liked it. Felt like a true Matrix movie in line with the original. The ending, however, was…interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gannan Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 For the first 20-30 minutes I was really impressed with how good it was, then it kind of lost steam as it went. Good but not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Omega Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 It was alright. Maybe 3rd best of the 4. It was also totally unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good but not great. It's a tacky hook to start off by breaking the 4th wall. It had a chance to pay off, but it doesn't. This is a steaming pile of crap even worse than 2&3. In the words of Sex and the City: And just like that...Keanu sucks again. Seriously, I get that Keanu was kind of spoofing on his own performance in the originals but this came off like a bad Shattner impersonation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBW Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I thought it was entertaining. Unnecessary and didn’t advance the franchise or story at all. Almost a reboot but not really. Don’t expect anything ground breaking. But you should be entertained regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTW Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I have low expectations. A friend is having people over to his home movie theater to watch it so at least there will be booze. Hopefully it will have some entertainment value. 1 was great, 2 & 3 had a range of scenes from bad to meh to ok. They should've left this franchise alone.

Blazehound Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Just finished watching it. It was decent. Definitely worth watching. Nothing outstanding but better than I expected. Trinity is still a babe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iladelphxx Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I never saw the 2nd or 3rd..... Which is weird because I really liked the first one. I was working in bars through college back then so I didn't really go to the movies that much. After a while, I heard enough people trash them that I never really made it a point to see them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
