Lesbian plot an expression of the fantasies of Lana Wachowski?
This is probably overly psychologically reductive and simplistic, but I found myself wondering today if the lesbian romance of "Bound" was in some ways an expression of the then-Larry Wachowski's identification with the female gender and desire to be a woman in love with a woman. The male gender, as represented by Pantoliano, is the oppressive and pathetic father figure standing in the way of such love, and the happy ending comes when this corrupt father figure is vanquished and the women can be together at last, freed from the male gender.
