Which to me sounds like wanting to score internet points.
At one point they cited Simulacra and Simulation and Ghost in the Shell as influences, so yes, it's about existentialism, consciousness, the simulation hypothesis, etc.
The trans topic fits right in but that wasn't the original goal (unless they had a human of one gender jack in and be another gender in the matrix). Are any trans people in the cast?
On a similar note, another such movie (from the same year) is eXistenZ.
yeah i don't exactly buy that it was intentional but both directors turned out to be trans, so their life experience is definitely reflected in the script. and to be fair, it's very on brand for artists to say "oh yeah that was tooootally intentional, yes i planned it from the very beginning! yup!"
Sure, makes sense.
Yeah, Diesel and Twohy pulled than one when they claimed Riddick 3 was totally the 3rd part of a trilogy.
