Hello, people!
This is Eriko.
It's getting really HOT here in Japan these days. I prefer winder because I can get rid of coldness by putting cloths on, but this hot temperature,,, once you became naked, you have nothing to take off anymore!
Well, anyway, as I said, I'm going to talk about family relationship through the Disney Movie Tron Legacy today!
Well, here's the synopsis and trailer for the movie for those who haven’t watched.
[Warning!! This synopsis contains the spoiler of the movie. If you don’t
wanna know the ending, don’t read!]
Kevin Flynn is a CEO of the game company
ECOM, and created the hit game series TRON. His son Sam Flynn liked listening
to Kevin’s story about the virtual world the Grid, which appears in the TRON game,
and Sam was dreaming of visiting there someday. However, one day in 1989, Kevin
Flynn just disappeared and only his best friend, Alan Bradley, who established
ECOM with Kevin Flynn, was insisted that Kevin had gone to the Grid. In present
time, Sam Flynn grew up to be an adult and Alan tells him that he got a call
from Kevin on his pocket bell and makes Sam visit the old game arcade that his
father used to visit.
At the game arcade, he finds his father’s secret study
room about TRON and he finds himself also is transferred and trapped in the
Grid. The Grid is a virtual world consisted with two races of people, users or
programs, created by Sam’s father and it used to be ruled by him. However,
after Kevin’s virtual alter ego, Clu revolted against Kevin, Kevin is trapped
in the Grid and cannot make it home.

At the Grid, Sam involves in the disc game
and was almost to be killed by the most popular program Rinzler, but when Sam bleeds,
Rinzler figures out Sam does not belong to this virtual world and take him to
his boss Clu. When he saw Clu for the first time, Sam thinks he finally found
his father because Clu has the very same face with his father. But soon Sam
finds out his father is trapped by him and he goes on a journey to find his
father. Soon he finds his father Kevin Flynn, and both Kevin and Sam Flynn try
to go back to the reality, but there are followers of Clu, who is conspiring to
get out of the Grid instead of them and conquer not only the Grid, but also the
reality.

While Sam, Kevin and their new company Quorra was running away from Clue, Rinzler, who supposed to be the closest follower of Clue, sacrifices himself to help their escape saying “I fight for users.” and Kevin notices Rinzler is Tron, who was his best friend of and co-creator of the Grid but sacrificed himself to save Kevin when the Clue’s rebellion had been occurred. At the end, Kevin sacrifices himself and destroys the Grid to stop Clu and let Sam go.
Well, did you get vague image of this movie? You really should see this movie. It was very beautiful both in the visual and story aspects!
I stop my story telling here in today.
From the next post, I'm going to talk about the hidden messages refferred to this movie:)

I read the synopsis and some mythological stories come to my mind. Two person tries to return from underworld, but only one of them succeeded, like Orpheus and Eurydice. I have read a story about Izanagi and Izanami, its a very similar story, only one of them can return... Anyway, Im waiting for the next post ;)
ReplyDeleteMaybe TRON Legacy is including the concept of those mythologies you introduced in the basis of its story. Since TRON is the continuation of the previous film, the first film in the TRON series called TRON may have the hint to our curiosity !
DeleteI'll look up about the previous one later:)
