Lily Wachowski, who directed The Matrix trilogy alongside her sister Lana, recently revealed how her own trans queer identity influenced the making of the hit action film.
Here’s what she had to say:
“I’m glad people are talking about The Matrix movies with a trans narrative. I love that’s how meaningful those movies are to trans people. People come up to me and say ‘Those movies saved my life’… I’m glad that it has gotten out that [a trans metaphor] was the original intention. But the world wasn’t quite ready, at a corporate level–the corporate world wasn’t ready for it. When you make movies it’s this public art form. I think any kind of art that you put out into the universe, there’s a letting-go process, because it’s entering into public dialogue. I like that – that there’s an evolution process that we as human beings engage in art in a non-linear way. That we can always talk about something in new ways and in new light…I think in our transness and queerness, we were always trying to, like, incorporate as many things as possible.”
Lana, who is also Trans is currently directing the fourth Matrix film in Berlin.
