    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.

      Think it just projection.

      “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.
