Greetings programs,

So you know how some movies have a hidden meaning.. like The Matrix... Waking Life.. A Scanner Darkly etc?

Well don't you think TRON has a deeper hidden meaning? Something the is connected to real life?

All these years.. I suspected it did. And as I looked into life more and more. I have concluded TRON has a hidden meaning.

What do you all think? Do you think it was just a story someone made up? Or did it have a deeper meaning?

Let me know what you think.

END OF LINE

I never thought about it that way, but I can see how that would make sense.

A couple of years ago I wrote an essay about ideologies in film and used TRON as my choice, The only main thing I could dig up was the religion angle (I think there was something else but I forget).

Needless to say the essay was initially given a fail but only because the guy who marked it had (sadly) never seen the film so had no idea what I was talking about!

There are obvious drug references in TRON.

From the "Users" to the "Holy water" that they drink and the euphoria they get from it, straight out of 1980's cocaine popularity, although the whole world is very much shroomy.

If you experience the power of fungus you'll know what I mean.

A bunch of other little things they said that I forget now, but its definitely in there.

Well it certainly doesn't get more blatant than Mario, accept for maybe Underdogs use of methamphetmines, but he's not a video game, until the movie comes out.

I personally don't need or use prescribed, illegal, or destructive drugs, as it's a means to a self destructive environment, and manipulative characteristics, abusive tendencies, and while degraded, one may become rationalized by self coerced fixations, exploiting further, a honest and more subtly coherent environment.

While I disagree with your opinions, one could make some equivocal reality ambiguously declaring impression and expression.

Rofl, I get a kick out of that... but seriously, the movie is really just a complex expression of everything enjoyable about how one may have lived inside of a computer world, how it can occur, and brilliantly portrayed as prescriptively as one may experience thier culture every day, in that day. It must have been fun to be there.

I've never experienced the "power of fungus" before, but I don't think there were any intentional drug references in TRON. I think a lot of dialogue in film and TV can be turned in to drug references if people want to think of them that way. There are sometimes intentional drug references in productions too, but I'm talking about regular dialogue that was just meant to be straight forward dialogue, that might also be intrepreted as hidden or masked drug references.

I think the pure energy source (glowing water) had an intentional intoxicating effect on the programs when they drank it, but I doubt that part was intended as booze glorification or anything. I don't even think it was meant to be like booze in the drunken sense either - just the intoxicating and exciting feeling of enjoying something they had all been deprived from for a long time. Imagine how it might feel to be deprived of energy (like the programs in TRON) for a long duration and then to suddenly be able to ingest energy in a pure form like that.

Was the "mushroom power" in the Super Mario Brothers games a drug reference? Or was it just a good example of Japanese creativity? I've read explanations of both sides of it. It's fun to joke about it being a drug reference - I've heard a few comedian routines go there and they were quite amusing. But was it really an intentional drug reference? There are a lot of really strange and cool Japanese games out there. Their sense of style and gaming design is very different than what's most popular in the western world. Perhaps there is some misinterpretation of otherwise innocent cultural differences.

Pac Man eats the power pill (or energizer) and gains the power to eat the ghosts (or monsters) in doing so. I doubt this is a reference to drugs known for their abilities to kill pain and offer temporary increased strength. I think it's a simple power-up. Most games have some kind of power-up in them to keep the game play interesting and balanced.

The term "user" has been around for drug abuse for a long time. When TRON came out, it was also the term for a computer operator. They had "user" names to log in and a "user" account to get access to whatever their security clearance level was. This existed in the computer-based professions long before home computing was really affordable. The term "user" in TRON was never used in a way that might have a double-meaning as a drug user. The "users" in TRON were seen much like gods to the programs (after all, they did create the programs), and simply a term used to describe a computer operator or program writer in the film.

I'm not shooting you down or anything. I think it's fun to wonder about the deeper meaning of things and there are often hidden jokes and things in movies put in there by the director or production crew, or whatever. I don't think that TRON had any intentional secret drug glorification in it though. I don't see any direct evidence of it, personally.

The 'message' I got out of tron was simple and straightforward.

'no matter where you go, life's going to knock you about, so start hitting back before you get deleted.'
