  4. 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.

    • 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.”

    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.”

    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.”

  6. I just saw #goodfortunethemovie and I rly enjoyed it.
    The message resonated with me:
    It didn't patronize the audience or young adults with the pull yourself from your bootstrap bs and that anyone can make it if they arent lazy.
    Instead it says: things aren't easy but you can't give up, if you persevere you can make it a better place for you and the ones that follow, so don't. Your loved ones deserve that.
    And #keanureeves is awesome!!

  7. It turns out, #KeanuReeves is a big fan of the Fangs’ food. So much so that during the filming of #TheMatrixResurrections, House of Nanking was featured as Neo's favorite noodle shop.
