Tron: Legacy

Tron: Legacy

Some years after defeating the Master Control, Kevin Flynn has disappeared into thin air, leaving his son Sam. So while Encom became a giant computer programming, dismissing the dictates of his creator who dreamed of a future based on the sharing of information discovery, Sam refused to join the Board and he devoted himself to steal the new computer systems in order to place the Net One day, however, get a call from the office of Kevin: Sam must therefore retrace the footprints and find out what his father had found a parent before disappearing. So ends the virtual universe, governed by Clu, a program of the same shade Kevin, who has created the perfect system, and now dreams of invading our world. But it also needs the knowledge stored by the most illustrious prisoner of that world: Kevin Flynn. Father and son are thus united in the last mission.

The seeds of the future are buried in the past

(from Transformers: Beast Machines )

When Sam Flynn is made to enter the arena of the Motion-maze, he is given an interface to play: he wields it like a Star Wars lightsaber but that's not the right way. Suffice it to reiterate the link fleeting sequence of discontinuity with the logic that animated the first Lucasian Tron, the desire that this sequel has to make up the model, but at the same time be self-sufficient and even though later in the references to history stellar saga will not fail (the army of the Clone Clu reminiscent of Episode II), this ratio is always very "open" and in the odor of conflict, in the same manner in which the dichotomy CLU / Flynn is the story of an inner struggle between a conception as the progress of computerization ( Fordiani intended as a sharing of knowledge and benefits of arising therefrom) and a rather self-referential, as based on the discovery and phasing power (and inhuman) imperfections.

At this point the film plays its card more precise, when that can really break away from the logic melièsiana precursor and makes' altrodove a virtual universe "other", but a structure filigree that of humans. In fact, the two worlds, more than ever, seem to close in a perpetual dance of courtship and gradual mutual: the universe of humans to penetrate the secrets of the virtual world and share them in the name of transmatematicità that allows numbers to be architrave of the benefits of the world. Another sequence in this sense is enlightening: the prologue we see the graphic lines of the virtual universe shape our real world, where does the digital double by Jeff Bridges. The dialectic that the film brings into being between the two universes is therefore primarily visual medium over its predecessor, which drowned the world in shades of Tron acid which refers to the psychedelic culture, this time opting for a dark tone that seems borrowed from the residues of cyberpunk and often leaving a glimpse of the transparency of the walls, objects, even bodies that are traversed by the arena and shatters records in a riot of pixels.

Because of all these Tron : Legacy renews and enhances the pleasure of physical, visual immersion in a wonderful universe, but this time does not hide the concern of a world that is now fully in imagery created by the virtual logic and therefore no longer looks like a last frontier all'altrove, but as a reflection of the real world. For this time the logic is not only the exploration of the new universe, but rather that of the return to reality. The thrust, therefore, is oppositional to the model, there is a Master Control to be killed, but rather a program-owner who wants to go out and merge with the outside world, expanding its logic beyond the boundaries of the macrocosm.

The logic of the project is therefore no longer the antithesis, which is symbolized by the colors of opposing factions (orange for the bad guys, blue for "good"), but that synthesis of , and for this reason most of the story itself (however well thought out) are the individual sequences, or elements unique to their data, and the most important information. The best summary is in the body, that of Quorra, where just a simple tattoo on his arm to stand in the ISO and therefore the hope of salvation, that of course the more extraordinary iconic Jeff Bridges. The actor is among the few today could afford a total perversion of its character without harm to the mythology of the sagas in a place where you go, the young enthusiast and daredevil of the first Tron here becomes an individual reflective and dismissive, primarily dedicated meditation and can be credible because of the depth that its mythical image of course refers.

This dichotomy Kevin / Clu encompasses the beginning and the end of history, contradictions and choices that put the man in front of the crossroads of life and progress and the need to build a path based knowledge and the relationship with what was (Tron) and what will be (Sam). All in a rare show of visual beauty, lyrical and powerful thanks to the astounding music of Daft Punk and therefore repeats, but in a different way, the pleasure of sense of wonder. Do not miss: vintage started with Avatar ends in the best mo (n).
