Summary

Summary

Trans woman and screenwriter Tilly Bridges takes you through the trans allegories of the Matrix franchise, with deep dives into The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, The Animatrix, The Matrix Revolutions, and The Matrix Resurrections, tracking one person’s transition journey—from Thomas Anderson, to Neo… to Trinity.

Each movie’s allegory is deeply layered, building from movie to movie, and speaks to a different aspect of trans existence. You’ll learn how color is used to convey more than you realize, how Neo’s psyche is personified in the people around him, how no other mass media franchise speaks as truly, deeply, and honestly to the trans experience, and exactly why these movies are beloved and vital to the trans community (and their cis allies).

Free your mind, and see just how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Tilly Bridges writes with furious clarity and trenchant urgency. Begin Transmission is much more than film analysis; it is a determined all to action and a demand that we all tear away at the world that has been put before our eyes to see the truth of a far more complex and difficult, but, ultimately, fairer and more loving way of life.” —Javier Grillo-Marxuach, writer/producer
“Tilly Bridges has written a book that is not just thorough and thoughtful but also unrelentingly full of love. For the material, yes, but also for the reader, the world we live in, and the hope that we might yet make a more compassionate society for all of us.” —Jenn Court, producer
“A thoughtful, passionate deep-dive work that recontextualizes icons of modern sci-fi. It makes me go back and appreciate the movies in a whole new way.” —John Rogers, writer
“Impossible to put down. A fascinating and illuminating analysis of a seminal piece of cinema. You will never see The Matrix the same way again. Tilly Bridges is offering you the red pill. Take it.” —Geoff Thorne, writer/producer
