And that’s what I love so much about it, it really drills down to what you value in life. What’s more important, being comfortable, or knowing the truth? Do you really want to know how the sausage is made?
I think of cases like 1930s Germany, where people just ignored the atrocities happening because they weren’t happening to them. Those bystanders were like Cypher in The Matrix, where they decided that “ignorance is bliss” and looked the other way. The film certainly paints Cypher as a bad guy, but I think a lot would side with him if he instead were a new recruit who decides to go back to the Matrix shortly after learning the truth.
Anyway, The Matrix is perhaps my favorite movie of all time, I’m still waiting for a sequel. 😉
Lol. Switch was supposedly trans initially (and I think it’s pretty obvious as well), so it’s not like there was nothing pointing towards the creators personal interest and accepting nature for transsexuality, but yeah the story is much much more than that.
Isn’t this The Entire Point?
That there is value in truth, even if the truth is painful?
That we should believe in and fight for a cause, even if fighting is hard?

Yeah, it’s a real shame they never made another. I’d love a third Alien movie also, but we’ll just have to make do with two.
Ah see, but he is depicted as the soyjack
Uhh, I think that is a great interpretation but I’m pretty sure the entire point is to be a trans allegory.
