I find Lana's thoughts on the intention of the Matrix interesting. One can easily assume that the Matrix is supposed to be something like a real phenomenon but you really have to observe it deeply to understand. I get anxious thinking about it but then I always remember that it's a movie and meant to mean something different. It's like reading the Allegory of the Cave and thinking man, I'm stuck in a cave. Back during that time period, people probably experienced anxiety reading it just like one would thinking about the matrix. Their anxiety driven rational thinking puts them in a fantasy and not really understanding what the story is meant to portray.

Cloud atlas was in incredible journey. It allowed me to accept the actual feelings I experienced while watching. I may have a generous amount of openness when it comes to enjoying a movie. This movie relaxed me to a point where I was able appreciate every single line, visual, and soundscape. It needs a second theatric release.

Elma Kim Eldridge she is truly amazing. What makes her even more impressive is the fact that she began doing press specifically as a way of giving a face to Trans rights (as she admits in this interview). And to be so engaging and joyful and at ease with not just your own very-public Queer identity on display, but also the weight of the entire Queer world on your shoulders*... It’s a massive task and she makes it look effortless. *Not that Lana can speak for all Queer people, or that she has any right to appoint herself as spokesperson... but realistically, this side of Caitlyn Jenner, Lana is the most high profile Trans person in American culture and the mainstream will consider her the de facto spokesperson no matter what. So embracing that responsibility is admirable.

Speaking of which: Prior to this interview, it really didn't occur to me how similar Lola & The Matrix really are. Aside from the fact that they came out at the same time: Both are basically effects-laden, hyper-kinetic "action" movies that were pretty definitive for their generation; while also, absolutely, conveying a deeper point about human existence. Those movies weren't exactly "deep", mind you - and that's a compliment. "Mono-Brow" - to quote the interview - is a wonderful description

Lol the critics completely missed the point and were completely ignorant of the philosophical text. Stuck on the surface. Were they aware of all the blatant Hindu symbolism of the 3rd? Literal excerpts from the Upanishads in the climax? No. They just saw VFX only. It's pretty funny actually when you juxtapose the two commentaries betwen the critics and philosophers... It becomes obvious which ones actually truly saw the films. It's all one story. When you watch them as one 6 hour plus film it's truly unique in the cinema canon. The Wachowskis were wrestling with traditions from both East and West, dialectical arguments on social systems, control, etc, etc, and settled on a non zero-sum transcendence/union of opposites (re Neo/Smith merging). This was panned as anti-climactic and not the profoundly Eastern, non-dualistic statement that it was and is. And very ballsy of the Wachowskis, mind you, not to mention way ahead of its time. I've yet to see any other movie or trilogy end in such a paradoxical manner. Are they perfect movies? No. The dialogue becomes like sophomore university lectures interspersed with CGI and less conventional cinema narrative. And yet, so what? As Lana said it was all an experiment, and perhaps too cerebral for their own good.

I know its about the faith, but I cant understand the meaning of it. I cant understand the meaning of the end dialog: "-Why are you persist? - Because I choosed to". And then somewhy Neo surrends. So why he surrends if he choosed to persist? And how this is solves the paradox of fate and choice? And what does mean the baby machine face? And also what the meaning of circle exploding in the film I see it quite often. And I know the Wachowskis really wanted to make exactly circle explodings. I will be very thankful for any answer on those questions. I search a lot but I didnt find anyone who really answers those questions without conflicting with author's main idea.

See, there's this strange line, and I'm curious where you draw it and why. There are people that don't belief gender even exists outside social context, science indicates otherwise, but that's what they believe. They believe sex is in chromosomes and reproductive organs and can't be changed. But when it can?
