Netflix has posted a Twitter thread explaining the trans themes in"The Matrix," after one of its co-directors confirmed earlier this week that the movie was an allegory for gender transition.
Lilly Wachowski, who co-wrote and co-directed the film with her sister Lana Wachowski, told the streaming service about the intention behind the sci-fi movie in an interview posted on YouTube Tuesday.Speaking 21 years after the first"Matrix" hit our screens, Wachowski said that the story was"all about the desire for transformation," adding that it came from"a closeted point of view" because the corporate world was not ready to hear the message at the time.
Following her comments, Netflix wrote about the allegory in a series of messages posted on Twitter on Thursday, making use of insights offered by writers and critics."Upon 'waking up,' Neo begins his transition from one identity -- Thomas A. Anderson, a name given to him by the machines -- to the one he sculpts for himself -- Neo, his chosen name," one post reads.
For years, fans of THE MATRIX have discussed the film through a trans lens. If you’ve heard the theory before or just learned about it, here’s a thread breaking down the trans allegory of the film, from trans writers and critics.
Everything can be an allegory of something. I guess this is part of the Matrix 4 campaign. No hate against the LGBT here, but personally, I like the Wachowskis when they were still brothers making the orig The Matrix.
Looks like they did that to fit in with the times.

Or it could be about people waking up from a computer simulation and fighting for their freedom. Could be crazy tho.
