Lilly Wachowski calls out right-wing appropriation of ‘The Matrix’ – Entertainment Weekly
The Matrix co-director Lilly Wachowski calls out right-wing appropriation of film’s real message: ‘This is what fascism does’
The hit sci-fi movie’s famous “red pill” scene has taken on new meaning on the far right.
By Ryan Coleman, December 1, 2025 8:46 p.m. ET
Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss in ‘The Matrix’. Credit: Jasin Boland /Warner Bros.- Lilly Wachowski, who co-directed The Matrix, is criticizing right-wing misinterpretations of the hit sci-fi film.
- “Right-wing ideology appropriates absolutely everything,” Wachowski said on a recent podcast. “They appropriate left-wing points of view, and they mutate them for their own propaganda, to obfuscate what the real message is.”
- She and her sister, Lana Wachowski, have taken issue with some conservatives twisting the meaning of the film’s famous “red pill” scene, which they conceived as a trans allegory.
Lilly Wachowski has had it with misreadings and misinterpretations of The Matrix.
The sci-fi classic she co-directed with her sister, Lana Wachowski, in 1999 tells the story of a lonely computer programmer named Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves), who suddenly wakes up to the fact that his drab reality is in fact an advanced computer simulation keeping humanity repressed. The movie’s prescient exploration of the choice between a familiar yet crippling illusion and a scary yet liberating truth has proven to be an enduring cultural touchpoint.
But lately, Lilly isn’t happy with what some viewers are doing with The Matrix‘s message.
“Right-wing ideology appropriates absolutely everything. They appropriate left-wing points of view, and they mutate them for their own propaganda, to obfuscate what the real message is,” Lilly said on a recent episode of the So True podcast. “This is what fascism does.”
The red pill and blue pill scene in ‘The Matrix’. Credit: Warner Bros.She continued, “They do it with absolutely everything. They do it with ‘Make America Healthy Again,” referencing Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s controversial public health initiative, which claims a mission of “pursuing truth, embracing science, and enacting pro-growth policies” but has targeted services like transgender medical care and vaccine programs.
“This idea of… there is only two biological genders,” Wachowski said. “They’re calling it science, but it is not science. And that is what fascism does. It takes these things, these ideas that are generally acknowledged as questions or investigations, or truisms about humanity and life, and they turn them to something else… They remove the weight of what those things represent.”
Will Smith will not star in ‘The Matrix 5’ despite cryptic teaser‘Matrix’ star Joe Pantoliano says the Wachowskis ‘f—ing lied’ to him about Cypher’s fate
Lilly Wachowski came out as trans in 2016, giving “thanks to my fabulous sister,” who had “done it before, but also because they’re fantastic people.” Indeed, Lana Wachowski came out as trans in 2008, reflecting later on her trepidation about going public with her identity, “When I say it’s a matter of life and death, I’m saying that some people who have problems with transgender people suddenly recognize [us] as transgender, and that can have dire consequences when you live in a culture that’s so uncomfortable with gender variation.”
The Matrix scene that has gained the most traction in right-wing circles is the one in which Reeves’ protagonist is given a choice between taking a blue pill, which will return him to the ignorance of his normal life, and a red pill, which will forever wake him up to the harsh realities of living within the totalitarian control of a surveillance apparatus.

“Red-pilling” has been interpreted by many conservatives as waking up to the “truth” of prohibitive views on cultural issues like LGBTQ rights. But in fact, both Wachowskis have revealed in the years since the film’s release that its deeper meaning, encapsulated in the pill scene, is a trans allegory.
“That was the original intention, but the corporate world wasn’t ready for it,” Lilly explained in 2020, noting that the very concept of the Matrix “was all about this desire for transformation, but it was all coming from a closeted point of view.”

QAGOMA has a gallery exhibition at the moment called Something Borrowed Appropriation in Australian Art. It showcases some classic works https://www.qagoma.qld.gov.au/exhibition/something-borrowed-appropriation-in-australian-art https://collection.qagoma.qld.gov.au/node/57870?_gl=1*1ume6vu*_ga*MTk1NjEwMTQwMS4xNzYxMDI2OTE0*_ga_309HXHSGK8*czE3NjEwMjY5MTMkbzEkZzAkdDE3NjEwMjY5MTMkajYwJGwwJGgw

Catalogue - https://collection.qagoma.qld.gov.au/node/57784
''Something Borrowed' explores appropriation in contemporary Australian art. This Collection display (Jun 2025 – Jan 2026) focuses on artists who have borrowed pre-existing images and use them within their own artworks. These recontextualised images are drawn from a wide variety of sources, with an emphasis on art history.
The canon of art history is fertile ground for appropriation. Peter Tyndall uses Christian symbols to deconstruct the 'sacred' process of a person viewing a painting in a museum. Vivienne Binns is also interested in how people relate to the art around them, choosing to elevate found textiles not typically granted the status of 'art' by painstakingly replicating their patterns in paint on canvas. Natalya Hughes reconfigures a nineteenth-century Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print to explore the symbolism of its ornate details.
For some artists, appropriation is not only a method they employ but also the subject of their artworks. Gordon Bennett and Richard Bell interrogate the appropriation of First Australian visual cultures by non-Indigenous artists. Bennett repaints motifs from Margaret Preston's prints to query her appropriation of Indigenous Australian art, while Bell uses imagery from Central and Western Desert painting traditions as well as from North American Pop art. The legacy of Pop is also seen in Janet Burchill's clever alteration of an Andy Warhol image – one that Warhol himself originally appropriated.
Spanning four decades of contemporary Australian art, the paintings in this display show how appropriation reshapes our understanding of the visual cultures around us.'

The persistence of heteronormativity is not only due to the weight of social conventions and norms, but also to material conditions of existence: being in a couple means having more resources. Sophie Lewis asserts that the conditions of heterosexuality are inseparable from economic realities: ‘Most women are too overworked, too exhausted by the demands of capitalism and its culture of compulsory enjoyment to even have the opportunity to learn to love.’
Sophie Lewis wrote ‘Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation’

“I simply do not see why the nation has to have an official sexuality, especially one that authorizes the norm of a violent gentility; that narrows the field of legitimate political action; that supports the amputation of personal complexity into categories of simple identity; that uses cruel and mundane strategies both to promote shame for non-normative populations and to deny them state, federal, and juridical supports because they are deemed morally incompetent to their own citizenship. This is the heterosexuality I repudiate.”
― Lauren Berlant, in "The Queen of America Goes to Washington City: Essays on Sex and Citizenship"

🚉 ComAI Summer Retreat ⛰️
I have just arrived in 🚊Graz, where we are meeting for the summer ☀️retreat of our @comai Research Unit.
Until Wednesday, we want to discuss what #research has been carried out in the projects over the last 6️⃣ months, what the challenges of #triangulating #methods 🔣 are, how socio-material #constitution and #appropriation come together 🤲 in a process of #artificialintelligence #emergence, and much more.
This will be followed by our #ComAI doctoral 👩🎓👨🎓 summer school.

"We force animals to adapt to the constraints of farming modelled on the mass production of manufactured goods, whereas farming should respect the ethological needs of animals. This is a transgression because we grant ourselves an absolute right that we do not have. This violence towards animals is a condemnation of us. Yet our relationship with animals could be an opportunity to think about a way of inhabiting the Earth that makes coexistence with other species possible. This requires new foundations for ethics and politics."

"Nous contraignons les animaux à s'adapter aux contraintes d'un élevage calqué sur la production en série d'objets manufacturés, alors que l'élevage devrait respecter les besoins éthologiques des bêtes. C'est une transgression car nous nous octroyons un droit absolu que nous n'avons pas. Cette violence envers les animaux nous accuse. Pourtant, le rapport aux animaux pourrait être l'occasion de penser une manière d'habiter la Terre qui rende possible la coexistence avec les autres espèces. Cela exige d'autres fondements de l'éthique et de la politique."

"Ce qui distingue le projet théorique, politique et littéraire de Wittig et en fait aujourd’hui un incontournable pôle d’attraction intellectuelle. C’est assurément la radicalité de son antiessentialisme que Wittig applique à la croyance la plus crédible qui soit en raison de la force de sa naturalisation : l’idée que les hommes et les femmes seraient des « groupes naturels » et naturellement complémentaires.
"Pour Wittig, en revanche, les hommes et les femmes sont des groupes sociaux naturalisés, des classes antagonistes créées par des rapports de pouvoir, le sexe anatomique est une marque qui cristallise ces rapports sociaux (sans eux, il n’aurait aucune pertinence sociale), l’hétérosexualité est un régime politique qui opprime les femmes, les personnes nonhétérosexuelles et les personnes racisées, et pour cela il faut la détruire dans son double fondement, matériel et idéologique. Car pour Wittig le régime hétérosexuel repose, d’une part, sur un système de rapports sociaux d’infériorisation et d’aliénation des femmes, des personnes non hétérosexuelles et des personnes racisées, et, d’autre part, sur une structure de perception essentialiste – que Wittig appelle la « pensée straight » – dissimulant l’oppression derrière la notion de « différence », permettant ainsi à la domination de se reproduire si aisément."
