    matrix, hackers, johnny mnemonic, the net it’s because hacking movies of the 90s were unbelievably queer.

    (the net is just there because sandra bullock was everything i wanted to be growing up closeted)

      I LOVE The Net. Just rewatched it last year. Now I need to re-rewatch it from a queer lens. 👁👁

      I was clueless to all the queerness in the media I consumed as a kid, so it’s pretty exciting to find a new source. I am curious what stood out to you in these movies as queer.

        it’s really mostly just because she was basically everything i wanted to be as a closeted trans kid and sapphic kid :) also i literally watch while you were sleeping every christmas because i’m also a hopeless romantic :)

        but also it’s legitimately a great movie from the lens of a woman being her own self and it’s pretty empowering too :)
