@cantido@allophilia there's a story I need to confirm about the subway fight between Neo and Agent Smith: someone I knew a while back on Twitter said that it refers to a real-life incident in which one of the Wachowskis contemplated suicide by hurling herself under the wheels of a train.
@cantido@kara_dreamer@allophilia And once Neo realizes, he's out of the system. And he's told the system will be opposed to him, even if they aren't *willingly* fighting for the system. Hell, even the way some elderly lady becomes an agent... a lot about it resonates now.
I used to think it was such a white dudebro film, too!

@allophilia @kara_dreamer @cantido (I mean, I still liked it, but that's still who I would have assumed most appeal would be for)
