[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 5665016, member: 48469"] [URL='https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-53692435']The Matrix is a 'trans metaphor', Lilly Wachowski says - BBC News[/URL] "That was the original intention but the world wasn't quite ready," says Lilly Wachowski, who came out as trans along with her sister Lana after the films came out. Fans have speculated about potential meanings behind the iconic films and Lilly confirmed the theory to Netflix. "I'm glad that it has gotten out," she said. The Matrix first hit screens in 1999, when Lilly says "the corporate world wasn't ready" for an allegory - a story that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning - about transgender people. But the director says the films have always been "meaningful" for trans people. "They come up to me and say these movies saved my life. "I'm grateful I can be throwing them a rope to help them along their journey." [/QUOTE]
