Description

It’s another “Oops, I have once again watched an old cult classic movie and now I can’t stop thinking about it!” episode.
Watched Tron for the first time the other day and at first I legit thought it was my lack of intelligence for being confused by what was going on, but apparently most people were. Despite the plot being hard to understand a bit at first, it still really sucked you in. You really wanted to know what was going on and what’s going to happen next. I had those same feelings when I watched Donnie Darko for the first time (lowkey obsessed with that movie too a bit). I really liked it though. I feel like I missed out a bit as I was watching it while working on commissions so I want to sit down at some point soon and genuinely watch it.
Just a shame about my favorite character in the film… He was really nice but also cool and since it’s an 80’s movie he had to die. I was sad for the rest of the movie even though I knew he was going to be pushing up daisies at any minute. ;_; Tron and Flynn had to be the main stars.
Another thing, I just really liked how programs were personified into actual beings, I’m always a sucker for that sort of thing. I liked they used more, uh, “technological” phrases in speaking too:
“I’ve been stuck here for 200 microcycles.”
“Who does he calculate he is?!”
100% charming, lol.
A damn shame the movie came out too early, they should’ve waited at least a decade or so and it would’ve been received a little better. :\
Guess I’ll be watching Tron: Legacy soon as well.
Ah, one more thing… The song “End Of Line” by Daft Punk, is what actually made me check out the movie finally. I knew of the movie’s existence since Kingdom Hearts but I was never interested in it until I heard that song for some reason, which is funny because it’s from the second movie. It goes hard, been listening to it on repeat: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOMa56…
Alright, I’m done rambling like a maniac.

Alas, I haven’t watched the original film, but I would really like to.
I hope to find some time after watching Tron.Uprising.

TRON is what I call my other favorite movie. If someone asks me what my favorite movie is, I say Ghostbusters, because Ghostbusters is a movie people get. And in some ways it’s a better movie. But TRON hit me at exactly the right time, and exactly the right place in my life, to have a huge impact on me. I watch it every year for my birthday.
I’ve heard before that the movie was released too soon, but I disagree. If it hadn’t been released when it was, I don’t think the audience would have been there for it a decade later.

It’s not unusual for well-written stories to, in the vernacular, “provoke thought.” That’s actually how a lot of fandoms get started.

Redheart is my waifu.
The story of how that movie’s effects were made is incredible. There was a ton of manual labor done to make look the way it did and the CGI was ground-breaking for the time.
