@kara_dreamer @allophilia it's too perfect to be by chance. Also the wachowski sisters are great

@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.

@allophilia @kara_dreamer oh wow that's a layer I hadn't heard of yet, I was wondering how agent Smith fit into the allegory

@cantido @allophilia @kara_dreamer

Minimal spoilers, but there's the one suicidal plunge in the Animatrix, too. (Saw that just the other day...) It's a theme that's almost bound to come up in a good gnostic Philip K Dick-style realityfuck story, I guess...
