An important thing to consider here is the fact that in both cases, Palahniuk came out as homosexual 6 years after the film, and the Wachowski sisters as transexuals also years after the release, in my opinion this affects their works because it can imply new possible interpretations where it would have been harder to find if a European white upper class man would have directed the film. Things that before would have seemed impossible are now reasonable trains of thought.
