1982's "Tron" is a no-nonsense classic, a time when only a few households had an Apple II or Atari computer. Tron's story and CG were born out of nowhere at the time: tell the
story first: programmers were sucked into the electronic world, and inside was another world. At that time, the concept of Virtual reality had not yet appeared, and no one had imagined what the virtual world was like, so it was called "Electronic World" because it was the era when chip computers were just popularized. Subsequent virtual world stories are largely derived from Tron.
CG: In 1982, no one thought that computer animation could be added to the film (at that time, the home computer screen only had 4 to 16 colors), so the director found several studios and refused to accept the job, and then found studio willing to accept, But the production fee is sky-high. Also, the luminous film technology used in the film is the same as the lightsaber of Star Wars in the 70s, but the Tron is more difficult because most of the things in it have luminous lines. Tron created the aesthetics of the virtual world and created a precedent for CG movies, which are enough to make Tron a place in the history of film.
In the 80's, I was a little boy. Maybe many boys who saw Tron in that era are like me, and believe that one day the virtual world will enter our lives. In Tron's story, the electronic world is a non-existent world, and no one would have thought that apart from the world of fighting ghosts or space invaders, it would be another world that exists in balance with the real world. Tron makes children like me have a lot of vision for the future. I believe that one day, I will have a virtual world that I can ride in, where I can meet people from all over the world, and even have my own social order and culture.
I still remember that at that time, Tron set off a wave of edicts. There were related toys, computer games, and even Coca-Cola's Tron flying saucer giveaways, which were all very enjoyable things. There seems to be an English storybook for elementary school students at home (the kind with more drawings than words on each page) with an audio tape. Unfortunately, I don’t really understand it, but the illustrations in it are fascinating.
That's it, in the 28 years since Tron was released, many movies have paid tribute to it: including all sci-fi movies that use luminous streamline design, most cyber punk movies, Ghost in the Shell, Thirteen Degrees can be named. The Thirdteenth Floor, Matrix, Inception, etc. For 28 years, we sci-fi movie viewers have wandered between the virtual world and the real world. Twenty-eight years later, we have the Internet, Facebook, and online games. To some extent, everyone has their own second life in the virtual world - including Hong Kong's Prime Minister Donald Tsang and some Chinese officials, but in the virtual world, They must be a king who can't fight and can't watch, has no clothes but thinks he is so handsome, and feels good about himself when he is ridiculed.
Over the past 28 years, we have come all the way. The virtual world is no longer a game machine or a flat vector pattern, but a world that is truly balanced with the real world. This is the age when the online world can call on citizens to surround the Government House and the Legislative Council. This is the era when WikiLeaks caused headaches for all major countries, and this is the era when millions of netizens fought against China's wall and network administrators day and night. All in all, this is no longer the age of ghost eaters!
Boys in the 1980s, watching the world change, watching the virtual world become more and more real, 28 years later, when they entered the theater to watch Tron: Legacy, it was inevitable that there would be bursts of heat in their hearts. It's a pity that after 28 years, the sequel of Tron is no longer out, it's just a set of qualified entertainment 3D sci-fi films, I have no dissatisfaction in my heart, I just remember the excited mood one day 28 years ago, I left the theater and remembered myself I have grown up, and the world has really become so fast, and I am born with infinite emotion.
Younger friends, when you watch it, you may think that everything is familiar, it is not plagiarism, it was already in the first episode 28 years ago. Times have changed, so probably for everyone, Tron: Legacy is nothing new. (For the 1982 version of Tron, please refer to "Rewatching "Electronic World Warfare" (Tron))
Addition:
You may ask - is the play good?
My answer is yes, but the last part really ended too easy. How do I get the last big guy (Clu) into a mess without fighting? The first two episodes of the UFO and motorcycle showdown were so good, why would there be nothing at the end?
In addition, the 3D effect is mediocre, especially when you have just watched the trailer of "Thor" (Thor), you will feel that the director wasted the word 3D (in fact, wasted the overpaid fare by the audience).
A friend said, "The creators have lost their whimsy about the future world," and got to the point. In the past 28 years, the Internet has become popular, and mobile communication and computer technology have advanced a lot, but these new elements have not appeared in the new Tron, nor can they break through the original frame. When everyone paid tribute to Tron, the sequel of Tron actually paid tribute to them, and the result was like a stir fry. Today, with the internet, Tron's Grid system is actually just a mini world inside the mainframe of a single machine. Imagine Cul, who betrayed the user, connected to the internet, entered the world of Facebook, Microsoft, and Google, and fought Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, and Bill Gates. , what a wonderful sci-fi film it will be.
So....what's worth seeing?
Yes, the heroine is very beautiful in the drama.
Also, the beginning of the duel is really good.
Zhong You, friends born in the 70s, will find a feeling of the past.
Friends who play computer games on weekdays may find it more resonant. (It is a man's romance to be born and die with a beautiful female NPC)
