Really interesting Marxist analysis of the movie.
TLDR: the machines are capital / capitalism, and the matrix is a superstructure that encompasses all sensory experience.
Glad to see this analysis got shared here! Really makes me love the movies even more. What if Smith becoming all entities in Revolutions is a metaphor for monopoly capitalism sapping all vitality and dynamism from a society?
Anyone with unaddressed individualism can be turned into an agent of capital with threats or money

Only watched the first one, but cool movie
They’re pretty bad actually. Cool to watch but once you actually think on them for a while they fall apart.
