"We've always loved going to the movies. Our mom and dad are big movie fans. They'd take us on these movie orgys where we'd see sometimes three movies in a day"
About this Quote
That’s the subtext behind the Wachowskis’ later work: the belief that identity gets built from remix, not purity. When your formative relationship to film is marathon-style consumption, you learn to read genres as modular. Action, noir, anime, philosophy, romance, comedy, cyberpunk: they aren’t walled gardens; they’re ingredients. The off-color humor signals comfort with hybridity and a refusal to sanitize the experience for polite retelling, which also mirrors their filmmaking: earnest, maximalist, unafraid of big swings or big feelings.
There’s a quieter thread, too: the parents. This isn’t the cliché of artists rebelling against the family dinner table. It’s inherited devotion. The Wachowskis’ gateway to imagination is communal, almost ritualistic, and that matters in an era that treats movies as solitary scrolling. The line mourns nothing, but it hints at a lost ecosystem: theaters as family spaces, movies as events, and fandom as something you’re raised into, not something an algorithm assigns.
