Its amazing how much of the internet did a 180 on Musk once Bernie rose to his current level of popularity (yes, I knew he was somewhat popular before too).

I wonder if Elon knows that The Matrix is largely seen now as an allegory for being transgender, even acknowledged by who directed it and came up with the whole red pill/blue pill concept in the first place.

The Elon worship was always gross to be honest. He threw money at scientists and engineers and that turned into some fantasy of him being a real life Tony Stark.

I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility.

https://i-d.vice.com/en_us/article/43vmvp/lilly-wachowski-encourages-viewers-to-reconsider-the-matrix-through-the-lens-of-transness

It's obviously universalized to represent any feelings of people coming to accept that their self they have lived up to a certain point isn't them, and the importance of determining one's own identity (it is Hollywood after all), but for the artists who wrote and directed themselves, the whole journey is definitely influenced by their closeted transness and coming to terms that their public identity isn't their true self.

Even still if you don't think the film was intended to be an allegory for transness (because it probably wasn't their straight up intention at the time, I agree), it's undeniable that they were influenced by their own feelings of dysmorphia and identity. Art is always influenced by the artist's identity whether intentional or not. And it's pretty funny that the whole red pill/blue pill meme has been adopted by a lot of 4chan type people considering who came up with the pill scene in the first place.

You do realize that it's the directors' themselves who have agreed with the readings on it, not just a bunch of people. The Wachowskis are very open that their closeted transness at the time was very influential to how their films dealt with themes of identity and transformation, even if not straight up intentional.

Plus you said it's seen as an allegory which means people were seeing something before any statement was made.

When you are making a movie about how a character feels disillusioned and not comfortable in his own world, of course one is going to adapt their own feelings of how they personally don't feel comfortable in the world. Like it's not hard to understand, you are just being daft.

People write what they know. It's how movies and art have always worked lol.

I thought this was more well known, maybe just in areas of the internet that regularly talk about movies I guess. The Wachowskis films are all influenced by their transness to a certain degree. The Matrix is just the one where it's most outwardly apparent.

The thing you need to get about nerds is they obsess about fiction on a surface level and don't grasp any themes or messages at all.

I highly doubt a single person thought the matrix was about being trans the first 5-10 years it had been out. Im not saying this because I think there is anything wrong with being trans, it just seems like a huge stretch.

Come on.

The Matrix is a movie about living a lie and sacrificing comfort to be your true self.

The creators are transgender and people ITT are claiming those things aren't connected?

Maybe back when it was released nobody would've made that connection, but it seems pretty obvious now, no?

i mean let's be real most of these dudes have never thought critically about any media they consume

people get upset at the idea that a work of art could have a meaning that isn't obvious because they think that anything they themselves didn't pick up on couldn't have really been there. it's very disheartening and honestly seems like it's pushing back against critical thought
