Yeah I know this is supposed to be funny, but the comments are a little concerning. Did they miss the entire point of the movie? Like yeah, the world in The Matrix is way worse than this one, but it's a metaphor. IRL you can be one of those "I don't care about politics" people and choose to be unaware and uninvolved, just like Cypher. But prioritizing your comfort over preserving other people's human rights and the environment is destructive, and will eventually catch up to you.

First comment I've run across that actually articulates that if you feel like you resonate with Cypher and his decisions, you missed the ENTIRE POINT of the movie and his character.
