I’m Canadian…so.

Agree pretty much on all points. That’s a good way to enjoy The Matrix: as a high budget b-movie. It didn’t scratch the surface of existentialism…but in a roundabout way it brought us the pseudo-Lynchian Neon Demon, which I really enjoyed and where Keanu Reeves played a world class creep - to tie it back together.
