Steven Lisberger. Haas screenplay uncredited. More like this. Watch options. Storyline Edit. It is there, in the ultimate blazingly colorful, geometrically intense landscapes of cyberspace, that Flynn joins forces with Tron to outmaneuver the Master Control Program that holds them captive in the equivalent of a gigantic, infinitely challenging computer game.
The Electronic Gladiator. Did you know Edit. Trivia The film was disqualified from receiving an Academy Award nomination for special effects, because the Academy felt at the time that using computers was "cheating". Goofs In real life, a bit has two states: on and off. The bit that Flynn meets has three states.
When at rest it is a different-looking character than when it says "yes" or "no. The "yes" state looks like an octahedron. The "no" phase is a very spiky, star-like shape. Quotes Alan Bradley : [about the digitizing laser] Great.
Crazy credits A section of the end credits is in Taiwanese. Alternate versions The light cycle sequence originally had background music. This alternate scene is present on the special laserdisc edition. Connections Edited into The Making of 'Tron' User reviews Review. Top review. Poetical cyberadventure. Excuse me, but : wow! I feel sorry for those who are disillusioned, but Tron is nothing to me but pure magic!
A poetical "cyberadventure" where the cyber world is a methaphorical representation of the "real" one. And to think that those images were produced, and more unbelievable, imagined, in the early eighties!
OK, by today's standards, it might not look so impressive to some viewers, but still And the imagination behind that movie, those graphics : wonderful! I wish to be yet surprised by unexpected ideas such as Tron.
And I am not necessarily thinking about a sequel : just surprise me! This page showcases my collection. All are original pressings, no CDRs or bootlegs. This page is here not only as an informational resource, but also as a protection for other soundtrack collectors.
As time goes on, more and more of the rarer and more obscure soundtracks from the s are showing up on Ebay as bootlegs or CDRs being passed off as legitimate pressings. You can compare the pictures from my collection below to soundtracks you may be considering purchasing to see if they are legitimate or not. Keep in mind that there are differences between pressings, especially across countries. Here are some things to keep in mind when trying to determine if a disc is original: Be wary of listings on Half.
Those sites are rife with bootlegs. However, to fans, and aficionados of classic "electronic" music akin to comparing CDs versus LPs , one cannot overlook the warmth that analog synths bring to the overall atmosphere of the score.
An interesting item mentioned in the liner notes and on Carlos' website , is that the score was to be split along a full orchestra, representing the "analog" flesh and blood world, and the synthesizers, representing the "digital" computer world. The only superbly discernable crossover outside of live percussion between the two occurs during the "Creation of TRON", a blend of orchestra, chorus, and electronics, "Miracle and Magician" and "End Titles", which occur, coincidentally when the analog human world comes in contact with the digital computer world.
At times, some of the pieces are dissonant in sound, but it helps provide a transition between some of the major melodies and overt passages in the score. However, if one looks back on Carlos' entire recording career, the solo works as well as the coverage of Bach, this approach wouldn't sound as strange as it may appear.
Although the themes that comprise these three pieces do show up earlier in the score, these tracks represent a coming together of each musical idea in correspondence to the plot progression that had been given birth in other areas of the film. Carlos mentioned that she had intended two thematic motifs to be used: one a militaristic sounding theme, corresponding to the MCP and it's cohorts, and a second theme, based on love story between Tron Bruce Boxleitner and Yori Cindy Morgan.
Although there is a "Love Theme" track, the full theme is best realized during the "End Titles" piece where every major musical point is brought to a resolution. A nice touch on that track is the addition of the large pipe organ, which really acts as a successful middle ground between the synthetic and organic elements of the score. The 20th Anniversary DVD set is truly worth the investments if you grew up admiring the film. For those that find the CGI special effects of today as something that has become second nature, it's also a history lesson as to how far we've come since those days.
Both shared a few central ideological themes, but other than that they are entirely different films, both in look and feel as well as the technology. Tron sparingly used CGI effects since it took so long to generate even the most simple computer animation, whereas the latter film was completely computer generated, even down to the actors within. One could only wonder what will happen within the next 20 years.
As for the music, one could say it's gone backwards, from introducing electronics in the production of film scores to add something unique, to where the more popular scores are completely generated within a computer which I have a tendency to dislike. However, for Final Fantasy , composer Elliot Goldenthal chose the classic route with a full orchestra and very little, if any electronic support.
You can use Tron as a history lesson, and example of a genre, or let it stand alone as it may, but I'm sure you'll find it as fun and as interesting as I have for the past 20 years.
