Man The Matrix deserved to stay in the culture longer. It even became double-relevant with the trans-themes
He's *the one*

It’s been my favorite movie since I was 11.
My reasons for liking it have changed a number of times as I grew older, but the movie has always been good.
Part of the reason that I like it so much is that you can read into so many different allegories, but the core message of “change is hard, but you shouldn’t give up hope because life gets better” stays the same.

I rephrased this a few times, but basically Columbine happened and that was the end of that.

Like it is a genuinely good film and here is how I know. I have only seen it once, opening week in 1999 before any of the hype had built. There was 6 of us in theater.
Despite it being 27 years, I can still tell you key characters and plot points after all this time. That is how you know it was great. The sequels… not so much.

What good is a phone call when you have no mouth to speak (because it’s stuffed full of straws)?

I remember when you would see people walking round dressed like this all the time.

I grew up in Phoenix, I saw people walking around wearing black dusters and military boots in July.

In hindsight the matrix seems like an attempt or reflection of the idea that programming is the peak of nerdery, and nerds are cool.
Ohhiw we’ve learned since then.

It can be a power for good and evil, it just depends on which pill you take.

So the jaw can be unhinged, but what about the gag reflex?

That can be overcome with training or you could just not shove them that far back.
