In school my RE teacher was trying to tell me about how so many films are about Jesus.
TBF I love the Matrix and I had heard that before so I mentioned it and she said “yeah thats a good one”
But so many things can secretly mean something if you really want it to. Really the good guy goes through growth and saves everyone then dies. Is basically like the main story humans like to tell. 90’s was big on “the world isn’t what you see it is. It’s broken and we can build something new” like fight club, is that a trans move? Is that about Jesus? I dont think so.
I think part of it is that in hindsight it’s a super fucking trans-coded film. I bet the Wachowskis didn’t realize it until later either. Honestly I love it and I think it adds another whole layer to everything.
“Oh they the characters look and act different in the real world, and they have different names!”
Oh you mean like literally every videogame ever made. It’s more about digital world than anything else by a massive massive amount.
But I could see how the switch thing maybe was thought to be a trans nod at one point. But it doesn’t mean a film about basically a video game isn’t about a video game.

Think it just projection.
