Later, these avid computer graphics workers became the boss of an animation studio. In 1995, after experiencing countless awesome short films, they launched the world's first cartoon made entirely by computer. , that is "Toy Story", this animation studio is now the thunderous Pixar studio. And the movie that influenced them the most was "Tron" (aka "Electronic War").
Pixar's bigwigs are obviously more discerning than the audience and filmmakers at the time. After the film was sought after by Pixar people for nearly three decades, the "official" honor came slowly - and before that, this film was The movie didn't even go to the Oscars because it used too much computer technology, which at the time was considered a kind of cheating--. In 2009, "Tron" was selected by the American Visual Society as one of the 50 most important special effects movies, ranking 6th, ahead of it, "Star Wars". Blade Runner, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Matrix and Jurassic Park. However, compared with the following five heavyweight movies, "Chuang" is really too shabby. Not only did it have a bad reputation, but also the box office was a mess. However, I believe that even these belated honors will not let more people know about this film, which was rated as a cross-era film by the American Computer Graphics Association. I also believe that if it were not for the documentary about the history of Pixar and the In the relevant materials, if this cross-era film is repeatedly mentioned, fewer people will know about this film today.
The tragedy of "Chuang" is that it is too far ahead of that era. You must know that when "The Matrix" was popular all over the world, most people still believed that the creativity in the film was very subversive, but you must know that at that time, the whole world was The Internet is spreading. We, who are on the Internet every day, are so stunned by "The Matrix" that "Creation" was born in an era when computers were still a luxury item, and it will touch the nerves of most people.
The tragedy of "Tron: War" is that it came too late. Although the film has extremely dazzling visual effects and equally thought-provoking speculations, it still has to face the doubts of some "unknown" audiences: some did not Audiences who have seen the previous work cannot identify with the plot of the film, and they even feel dull most of the time, while some viewers who have not seen the previous work and do not even know the existence of the previous work will "plagiarize" this film after leaving the theater. The work is full of contempt, and their mouths must be filled with infinite praise for "The Matrix". For most audiences, the reflective spirit contained in this film is not what they are concerned about, and the dull and pale plot is all they see.
Also coming too late is the technical side. The criticism that "Creation" suffered in those days has now become the capital for it to enter the palace. However, with the rapid development of computer special effects technology, the trend-setters who were at the forefront of technology back then have to admit that in terms of technology, they are only in 3D movies. Ordinary member. Audiences who have been bombarded by many real 3D and hypocritical 3D movies may feel only excellent in "Tron: War", but it is far from the stunning and shocking angle. In short, "Tron: War" may have a role in promoting computer special effects technology, but it has not been able to become a landmark movie by itself. The odds of giving this sequel another belated accolade 30 years from now are slim, and of course I hope I'm as short-sighted as the 1982 gang of judges.
I have never been too fond of Disney, but this time, I really want to thank this company, and at the same time, I sincerely admire their courage.
