Comment Plot or plot (Score 1) 429
Many people keep talking about a plot... but which one? What plot are you thinking about?
I liked Tron Legacy, and I liked the first Tron as well...
There is a "plot" but you shouldn't be looking for "the main story line" to be the "plot"...
For instance, in Tron (1) the main story is about Flynn having some programs ripped off and getting canned, then looking for that redeeming information in the system via hacking...
The Plot, however, is about the MCP and it's purpose, and how Alan was fighting against it... freedom of information... maybe just freedom in general... we can apply this "plot" and "moral" to any number of circumstances in our lives...
In Tron (2) the "main story line" is about young Flynn losing his dad one day, and growing up a little worse for the wear... again, like the first Tron, this isn't the "plot"...
The Plot is the struggle of "imperfection" vs. a perceived "perfection" and how, once loosed, some things are hard to undo and can actually be damaging, over all, to the desired outcome.
You can also apply this moral (plot) to things happening to us today with legislation designed to "do good" but actually being "bad" for us over all. (Patriot act, health care legislation, net neutraility legislation, financial reform, move to socialism vs. free market, etc)
Don't look at these movies for the "meaning of life", they are a "sub-plot" of life...
The story on the surface isn't necessarily the "plot"...
