Probably the most soul a movie can have.
extremely comfy, shame its not very good
>>221388873>the part when tron gets cucked>the other part when trons creator gets cucked>then the movie just endsweird
>>221388873its rather avant garde
>>221388873Soul isn't the word I'd use. It's actually feels pretty sterile, and this is coming from someone who was a total computerfag in the 8-bit era and wanted to love it.I appreciate it for what it is, but it was a bit of a let down in execution versus the premise at the time. I had more fun reading 'The Video Avenger', (1984), based on the same premise of guy being sucked inside a video game world.The effects are sure interesting and good to watch, and the villains like Warner are kino as fuck, but the lack of story is quite unsatisfying. Why I was jazzed more than anyone else to see Tron Legacy, which looked and sounded fantastic, but had the exact same problem. Like they copied and updated the visuals but copied the same fundamental flaw. Pity.
>>221389884Based gamebook reader
>>221389884whaddap
i like the aesthetics of tron but the story and world itself are rather uninteresting
>>221388873It's not a good movie. The light cycles were cool as fuck at the time and the movie's "saving grace"
>>221390023Games and computers had soul in those days because you had to use your imagination quite a bit with the crap graphics and limited gameplay. Hard to understand that era unless you lived through it, but was fucking fun if you were a nerd and one of the few who could even use a computer, let alone understand them.The fiction of the time was particularly kino because writers and Hollywoodfags had no real idea of what they actually were or what they could do then and in the future either. So you got this cool alternate reality concept of computers that was just as much fun as the real timeline if not more.Like the old theatrical 'Mummy's curse' Victorian idea of Ancient Egypt and mythology versus the real thing, (or at least the modern archaeological understanding). The normie ideas and fears about computers was its own kind of unique lore you'll never really see again. Still shocking how things turned out much more sci-fi than expected though:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0QPFN5ZpKA
I was expecting a boring, dreary mess of a tedious film, but I loved it, I thought the world was engaging and interesting, and the quaint computer graphics were pretty cool to see. Maybe I'm just an easily impressed tard, but the atmosphere and tone, and overt religious themes really helped it
>>221388996But enough talk about the sequels
>>221388873I love both this and Legacy. I haven't seen the newer one, looks a bit meh.
>>221390110So much of 80s film is about fantasizing and making sense of the new thing changing the world. Maybe it helped the public cope with a modern world that barely barely resembled their childhoods
>>221390740Had mad appeal, even to Gen-X nerd kids who knew all too well how much of a fantasy that shit was. Like that's when magic Hollywood touchtype insta-hacker shit first started. Ridiculous as fuck - even more so back then - but was still pretty rad.We knew about shit like Moore's Law, even if we didn't know it by name we could see where shit was going. That graphics would look realistic with more colours than the human eye could differentiate in the future, (even knew the actual numbers if you cared to do the math). But I still miss the alt-future with ultra-clacky keyboards, 8-bit/vector graphics, and monochrome green displays, etc.:https://youtu.be/fKu_kP_HicA?t=85https://youtu.be/10Omecnu6p0?t=246
>>221388873For me its Yori
