I’ve enjoyed your reactions and decided to go ahead and find your patreon, like the takes more around the production/cinematography choices etc than most! If you’re doing a deep dive of the Wachowskis you should check out Sense8. It’s really worth checking out if you're interested in/deep diving the Wachowskis, though it’s great anyway. It's a very unique show, great themes and characters, and includes one of if not the first roles with a trans actress playing a trans character for whom being trans doesn't define her. It certainly has a big impact on the character, but it's treated as just another part of who she is the same as sexual orientation or personality. Nice to see the representation. Since you mentioned the Wachowskis being trans, if you haven’t come across it there’s an argument I’ve seen made that The Matrix is at least in part a Trans Allegory. I can only have an outside perspective on it but the discussions seem to make sense. Some articles like one in Vox that say it even helped to understand/accept their own trans-ness.

Watch this again. V for Vendetta is a personal favorite as its relevancy, heart and message are constantly being refreshed. Should have been an American Movie? Debatable, but feels that way maybe because we are living in a time where these themes are so very true. People are more afraid today than they have been in generations, trust the government, ground down and being told what to think by different media, caring for their neighbors and fellow man/woman less, yet paradoxically are willing to give power to a cult of personality that espouses hate, intolerance, leaving little room for anything that does not fit a narrow interpretation of an unenlightened morality. The screenplay is up there with the likes of QT, Sorkin and a handful of others who can make exposition an art form. While the pacing of V may not be for everyone, and its themes may not ring true for some, it is impossible to deny that the power of the script lies in the simple yet undeniable truth that embracing love of yourself, your neighbor, your family and your friends is only second to being true tto who you are, and having the courage to allow the rest of us to do the same.
