Kac-Vergne identifies the conflict between Snake (Kurt Russell) and the Duke (Isaac Hayes) as symptomatic of a divide-and-rule policy, on behalf of the ruling elite, between white, blue-collar workers and African-Americans. [...]she examines The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) and I, Robot (2004) where intelligent female characters are unceremoniously sidelined once the violent, hypermasculine spectacle begins. Kac-Vergne identifies in The Matrix a 'rainbow coalition' of androgynous women, Hispanics and African-Americans formed against an explicitly white male enemy, spearheaded by a multi-ethnic star (Keanu Reeves), although his white skin tone is foregrounded in the films.
