I have a few curious questions about the creators of The Matrix (see down further). I recall a Cs session when Laura and the gang first watched the movie and were blown away by some of the concepts it portrayed. I can't find the session here on the forum, so unfortunately I can't quote it. I also remember discussion of beaming tech being used on Charlie Sheen and that FBI 9/11 whistleblower who started cross-dressing, but I can't find those sessions either. I guess we can safely conclude I'm terrible at using the search function on this forum.
With that said, I'm fascinated by how startlingly accurate many of the things were in The Matrix. I also find it fascinating that there was such a noticeable drop in quality with everything the Wachowskis have made since. I'm hesitant to say they were one-hit wonders because Cloud Atlas wasn't that bad, but compared to The Matrix, it really does feel like they were one-hit wonders. I can't help but wonder whether The Matrix attracted a little too much unwanted attention and they were hit with the crazy beam right between the eyes.
It's worth noting that they wrote their first draft of The Matrix in 1994. It's rough around the edges, but the core premise and concepts are there. First public script was dated 1996. They also wrote V for Vendetta somewhere between 1997 and 1998. Also in that time they wrote a low budget thriller called Bound (with a same sex relationship that became a cult hit among lesbians) and another Hitchcock-style script called Plastic Man, which was never shot. They were married during the 90s and by the time my literary agent/mentor met them in 1999, he observed signs that their relationships were not going well.
The Matrix Reloaded was released in 2003. While featuring some stunning visual set-pieces (I loved their car chases and fight scenes), it seemed sloppy, awkwardly hedonistic (an interesting foreshadowing of their near-pornographic Sense8 over a decade later), bloated, and unfocused. There's also an early script for The Matrix 2 that is entirely different and involves Agent Smith riding a Harley Davidson. Fun, but better suited to a tie-in comic book. It seems that if you're looking for anything that might correlate with the Cs, you won't find it in any of their other work.
I'm sure there are more important things to ask the Cs, but here are my questions nonetheless:
1. The Matrix (1999 movie) has some insights into our reality that align with a lot of what the Cs have communicated. What were the Wachowskis' sources for these particularly accurate insights?
2. Were the Wachowskis targeted by 3/4D STS?
2a. Were their brains scrambled by beaming technology a la Charlie Sheen?
2b. If they were targeted, did this targeting influence their transgenderism?
