How it's themes of blending in, standing out and moral flexibility and inflexibility may be hidden in the subtext. But they're there. And that's why the movie has stuck with me.
Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again
SWIFT: Trav, honey? KELCE: (looks up from first edition Krazsnahorkai in original Hungarian) (pauses rare Steve Reich LP, Japanese pressing) Yes? SWIFT: What rhymes with "thighs"? KELCE: Hmm. "Belies," perhaps? SWIFT: (under her breath) Oh for fuck's sake
for years i didnt watch any sequel, then blank check covered Mcteirnen and i watched 2 and 3. They're kinda contained and thematically connected, (and mirror opposites in terms of scale) and 2 is kinda contained in a way that it doesnt feel like it matters at all.
