Summary

Welcome to bluemind ASMR, your personal relaxation station. I’m your host, blue skies. Tonight I'm going to be reacting to the original, the classic, the iconoclastic first Matrix film directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski and released in 1999. I will also be diving into the ways in which I see the film's narrative as an allegory for the trans experience in general (recently confirmed by Lilly Wachowski; see link below). All of this is whispered, so I hope you enjoy. Headphones recommended~

0:28.6	one of my favorite movies, The Matrix, the original Matrix, by the Witch-Howsichowski's and I'm very excited because for many reasons I love this movie.
0:49.4	Oh yeah, I'm going to be recording my commentary and reactions, of course, in ASMR, so you can enjoy them
1:00.0	to sleep, to relax, or to tingle, whatever, or all three.
1:08.0	Or because you want to know more about The Matrix,
1:13.6	or maybe you, you also like this film,
1:20.6	this iconic, iconic film,
1:24.6	which was directed by two transgender women, which is amazing.
1:31.8	Lily and Lana Wichowski, and their transitions were a little bit apart.
1:57.0	Lana transitioned first, and I don't think, I don't think her coming out was, at least from the Wikipedia article. It seems like her, no one really made a big deal about her coming out, the media
2:04.8	at the time, sort of treated her gender transition as like a sorted rumor.
2:13.3	This was pre-Kaitland Jenner interview.
2:21.3	So she was, you know, transitioning before it was cool.

2:58.7	Lily Wachowski and probably by Lana in I just couldn't find other interviews, but a recent one in Vanity Fair, Lily Wachowski talks about how The Matrix is definitely, definitely a trans-narrative.
3:19.1	Like, it's a story, it's a, it's a, a story about the life story of a, of trans people that, that many, many trans people can relate to.
3:35.5	And I definitely relate to, it's a story about transition and of like waking up and realizing and going into a
3:50.1	different reality and there's so much more I will definitely link the Vanity Fair interview in the show notes,
4:00.7	and I might throw a couple more links in there, because there's just so much cool stuff
