Abstract: En este TFG se analiza la película Matrix (Lilly y Lana Wachowski, 1999) en base a un contexto transgénero, tratando de demostrar que el personaje de Neo (Keanu Reeves) puede ser interpretado como una persona transgénero no binaria. Partiendo de la base de que ambas directoras son mujeres trans, se analiza la estructura de la película, mostrando escenas que tienen relación con fases de la transición de una persona transgénero. Teniendo en cuenta que cada experiencia transgénero es distinta, se han determinado siete apartados distintos para analizar las experiencias de Neo con aquellas de una persona trans. Estos apartados son: disforia de género, descubrimiento de identidad, cambio de nombre, terapia hormonal, cirugía, reintegración social y no binario. En cada una de estas partes se analizan una o varias escenas en relación con estas experiencias, tratando de demostrar una comparativa entre la vida de Neo y la vida de una persona transgénero no binaria.
This BA thesis analyses transgender issues in The Matrix (Lilly and Lana Wachowski, 1999) in order to prove that Neo’s character (Keanu Reeves) can be seen as a non-binary transgender person. Having two transgender women directors as a starting point, this BA thesis analyses the structure of the movie to showcase scenes related to a transgender experience. Taking into account that every transgender experience is different, there will be seven general concepts analysed in comparison with Neo’s experience. These concepts are: gender dysphoria, identity realisation, name change, hormonal therapy, surgery, social reintegration and non-binary. Each of these concepts will be analysed and compared to scenes from the movie in order to prove a clear comparison between Neo’s occurrences to those of a non-binary transgender person.
