Jack Gladney posted:I actually think you are supposed to root for Keanu and Carrie Ann Moss gunning down all those people because anyone complicit with the system is an enemy of the revolution and deserves death within the world of the narrative. Keanu doesn't believe in civilians. They can all become agents at any moment anyway. I guess you're supposed to initially, which why the twist Syd Midnight described was supposed to be so shocking? The 3 films as a whole though make it pretty explicit that the violent spree killers are not in fact the good people in the conflict. I always thought it was pretty obvious because what sort of person thinks it's ok to kill everyone indiscriminately like that? They were terrorists. I don't get how people could not see that. Even the idea of everyone as an agent of the system is straight out of anarchist manifestos from when they were setting off bombs at the turn of the last century. E; I'm gonna shut up about this now, but basically Syd Midnight is correct and the movies alone basically says that anyone who thinks like the protagonists do are violent socially-maladjusted assholes. People who use the "Red Pill" metaphor unironically are beyond unself-aware, especially for people who bitch about the hold of pop culture and media on people.
