The Matrix (1999) is a thinly veiled allegory for being a man in today's gynocentric society. This is why it resonates so deeply with men and is nothing more than a shallow action movie for women.

**SPOILER ALERT** <br><br>There's nothing inherently wrong with a movie being an allegory. In fact, the best movies have and continue to be allegories. *Inception* (2010) is an allegory for post-partum depression and worms its way into the hearts of audiences dealing with the condition by way of its beautifully written characters. *2001: A Space Odyssey* (1968) is an allegory for human evolution and awes audiences with its realistic depiction of space travel. *Gladiator* (2000) is an allegory for the decline of the Roman Empire and inspires audiences with its excellent portrayal of Roman decadence. <br><br>But Matrix (1999) is not about any of that. It's an allegory for the systematic subjugation and exploitation of men and men alone. It's about what it's like to be born into a role that you cannot escape, having your entire life decided for you before you even take your first breath. How you are viewed as nothing more than slave labor for your entire life, forced from cradle to grave to work yourself to the bone for the benefit of everyone but yourself, being kept in the dark for the entirety of your plight and having your mind fixed on other things to distract yourself from the magnitude of your predicament. <br><br>But even that's not all that's so alluring about the movie. The reason it resonates so deeply is that it's actually an allegory for gynocentricity. Take, for example, the character of Neo (played by Keanu Reeves) and his interactions with the character of Trinity (played by Carrie Anne Moss), who wears a tight leather jacket and sunglasses throughout the entirety of the movie in what I don't even need to say is an obvious attempt at evoking an S. Throughout the movie, Neo - who is the chosen one tasked with the burden of saving humanity - is bossed around, lectured and berated by Trinity, who has no problem telling him what to do and is allowed to lead the way throughout the entirety of the movie. Does this sound vaguely familiar to anyone? <br><br>But the worst part is that the movie isn't actually from the point of view of men. It's written and directed from the hyper-emotional vantage point of **two** women, The Wachowskis, who have since come out as trans after dealing with the mental and emotional consequences of their womanhood. It's from the perspective of women who are angry at men for the circumstances of their birth. *The Matrix* is shot in a very emotional way, conveying the horrors of forced reproductive and sexual servitude through very feminine-tinted glasses. It's *written* by two women *for* women and is told entirely *from* the *perspective* of two women who were born into the wrong bodies and have become men. The movie is just an over glorified expression of the childhood trauma these women have gone through. <br><br>Like I said at the beginning of the post, there's nothing wrong with an allegory so long as it's written from the vantage point of those who are being allegorized. The only reason *The Matrix* (1999) is seen as profound by both men and women alike is because it is an allegory for a common human **feminine** experience. The reason it resonates so deeply with men is because the experience of being subjugated to gynocentrism is the *same exact experience* as being subjugated to the matrix. But it is not seen from the vantage point of men. No, we do not get to see our lives portrayed on the big screen. We are instead forced to watch the movie through the eyes of two women who've never experienced the horrors of being a man, who write and direct a violently hyper-emotional experience from the **perspective of women**, where the dialogue consists of angry, over-emotional lectures berating our character, who is bossed around, ordered around and told what to do his entire life. <br><br>We see ourselves and our plight reflected onto the big screen. We hear the triumphant music swell up as the credits begin to roll and we feel a sense of satisfaction, accomplishment, catharsis, whatever. And none of us realize that we're not actually being portrayed. It's not us that we're seeing. We're seeing the plight of two women who are angry at us for being born the right way. We're seeing two women deal with the psychological trauma of being born with the wrong anatomy, except that we, the audience, do not realize that we're watching a movie written and directed from the hyper-emotional vantage point of two women. We don't realize that we're seeing the world through their eyes. We don't realize that we're not the ones being portrayed until the credits stop rolling and we're back in our lives - lives that we cannot leave. <br><br>This is why *The Matrix* resonates so deeply with men, because it is an allegory for the common plight of the emotionally traumatized feminine experience of gynocentrism. It is why it is nothing more than a shallow action movie for women. Women are allowed to see their plight portrayed on the big screen, through the eyes of their own people. But not us. We are forced to watch from the vantage point of angry women. <br><br>I urge you all to watch *The Matrix* (1999) and truly consider this for yourself. Ask yourself why you truly love the movie, why it resonates so deeply with you. Is it because it's a good movie? Does it truly portray the plight of gynocentrism from your perspective, your point of view? Or does it portray something else entirely? It's time to take the red pill boys, and discover the true nature of our world. <br><br>Welcome to the real world.
