If the original Matrix got any criticism at all it was because of it's violence. After the shooting at Littleton, things only got worse (but then again, who wasn't blamed?). Kid's Story, one of the 9 animatrices, to me is more dangerous though.
We follow the likes of 'the kid', who finds out the truth about The Matrix (via Neo). He escapes his classroom like Neo his booth, but finds too many agents in his way, so he... jumps...
The next scene is at the funeral of the boy, and I was just thinking what a great self-reflecting movie this was (don't believe anything in the movies?), but in the end we find out the matrix really does exist and the boy is still alive in the real world.
Sure it's just a cartoon, but committing suicide to escape from the so called real world... edgy... 5/10.
