Wachowski Brothers now Wachowski Sisters

Post by MKJ »

Well there's an unexpected turn of events.
We all knew one of the two Matrix creators has transgender surgery during the production of the trilogy.
Now several years later the other brother also had the same surgery.
2016, what a world we live in :up:

A film they made while men: The Matrix - A computer hacker learns from mysterious rebels about the true nature of his reality and his role in the war against its controllers.


A film they're making while women: Cobalt Neural 9 - A homosexual American soldier falls in love with an Iraqi.

They also created/directed a Netflix exclusive show, Sense8. I watched a few episodes but lost interest. There was a lot of LGBT themes, which would have been fine, but because it was needlessly presented as such a big part of the show, it felt forced and distracting.

I hope they are both happier, but I don't have much faith in their work.

I would say they done nothing memorable since the 1st Matrix but they done V for Vendetta too ?

Jupiter Ascending was a bogging film.

If they haven't done anything good since The Matrix, that's fine with me. So long as they keep pushing the boundaries, maybe they'll strike gold again. :up:

Cloud Atlas is an excellent movie imo. 8/10. Best book I ever read, I have to say.
Sense8 season1 is so lala. Like Obs said, it feels pushed. Has a nice story and tone, though. 6.5/10.

I was pretty surprised actually with him coming out. He looked like a solid dude. Well... Make good stuff, lads.

Cloud Atlas is a wonderfully constructed symphony of film and anyone who dislikes it is an unloved fag0t.

Do yourself a favour by reading the book first, Whiskey. It's an original novel.
It tells 6 stories in a kind of anachronistic way. 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A, 6B, 5B, 4B, 3B, 2B, 1B.
And the editing of the film is even more sliced up. I read the book before watching the movie and can understand people that have not read the book being upset about the way the movie roles out.
