      I think Nick understands it well enough. Adam too (allegory of the cave).
      He's just against this forced narrativization of art, even when done by the original creators 20 years later. Part of the reason it was so popular is because it meant so many things to so many people. Creators coming out and saying "screw your perspective, here's the only true one" is just slapping the audience in the face. It is a valid one for them and many others, but it is just one of the many.

    Gotta agree with Nick. You can’t retcon a story to fit later assumed narratives. The same thing happened with J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter. She retconned the sexuality of several key characters that had no indication of being other than what they already were, to please sjw fans. Just because the bros became sisters, doesn’t mean the matrix is now about trans people. Fake, and gay.
    And having paused this a few minutes in to comment, I now hear Nick point this exact situation out with Harry Potter. Very gay.

      Difference is that with Harry Potter she was changing an entire characters story and characteristics. With this, the Wachowskis are just saying that the movie can be read through a trans lens. Looking at the difference between how you perceive yourself inside and in reality, as well as the use of pills to reach your true body, a lot of stuff can be read as a trans allegory. That doesn’t mean Neo and Morpheus are all trans, it just means that the story and the trans experience share some elements.

    From my understanding, the directors only belatedly said The Matrix was about being trans AFTER they themselves recently transitioned. At the time it was made, it certainly wasn't about being trans and they never claimed that it was. So effectively, it is NOT a movie about being trans. The directors belatedly reframing a movie to suit their own contemporary beliefs or agendas is equally as worthless as any regular viewer doing so.

      I recall learning the original plan for the character of Switch before either Wachowski had transitioned, so I believe there was some element of transgenderism within the original story, but I think it's absolutely insane for them to say the ENTIRE movie/series is about being trans. The making of the movie was very well documented and it's quite clearly/blatantly about man's dependence on and taking for granted of technology and natural resources, respectively.
      Also that computers and anime are cool. The Wachowskis love them some PCs and japan cartoons.

They become simply viewers of the film just like everybody else. If they find commonalities between Neo's story and their subsequent trans journey, it's OK. That's their perspective. But it cheapens the movie incredibly to insist that everyone should accept this perspective as their own. Same with Voldemort being gay and David Chase saying Tony Soprano died in the final episode (he obviously did, and it's not very subtle, but people thinking it was a dream or that it means he has to look over his shoulder for the rest of his life are entitled to their opinion without the creator barging in and telling them what to think. If you wanted to do that, you should have written the script to reflect that. Which is what Chase realized when he got so annoyed by fan questioning that he blurted out that Tony died, only to backtrack when he understood his mistake).
