This is lovely. Thank you! Also, I am not a musician, but if I were I would consider "pseudo-philosophical-argle-bargle" to be an excellent album name.
It really is a lovely movie. The only ones who objected to it were those who thought the original was about kicking ass and nothing more. The same folks who wanted Luke to do the same in The Last Jedi.
Young men want their heroes a certain way that, as you say, amazingly mirror the way they think! Meanwhile those of us in the real world, no longer stuck in macho matrix-built nonsense, know love to be the answer, not bullet-time beat downs (which in the end are simply fascistic).
"But the damage has been done. The internet, with its many social media fiefdoms, is chock full of blue pills painted red by aspiring cult leaders looking to flatter insecure men into buying their anarchist e-books or male enhancement supplements. Meanwhile, The Matrix has become a quickly fading pop culture reference, a dimly remembered, vaguely fascist, ultraviolent, green-tinted cartoon in tight pants full of ancient hokey catchphrases."
I am immediately subscribing. As a retired man, one of my goals is to watch more movies, and you shall be my guide. Thank you.
I quite enjoyed the movie and have watched it more than once, for the reasons you list, and feel it's an excellent chapter in the book of its existence.

Gawd! THIS magnificent paragraph:
