Animatrix - Tumblr Posts

I keep thinking about the Matrix as a trans allegory, and this scene from the Animatrix always hauts me. This machine is protesting in the "million machine march" for the right to be treated with dignity and the very recognition of her humanity. In response, she is viciously assaulted and murdered, called a "skinjob" for daring to look like a woman. Her last words as she is being maimed are

"I'm real!"

Come with me and you'll be In a world of pure imagination Take a look and you'll see Into your imagination We'll begin with a spin Traveling in a world of my creation What we'll see will defy explanation...

I don't wanna blame the whole cinema or the time we are living in, but sometimes I wish, that cinema would be as fascination, as it was back in the days, when I saw the Animatrix here in a local cinema in Germany. I miss those days a lot!
