need help how people interpret visual cues

on Tuesday, March, 01, 2011 3:36 AM

how did people interpret this scene
the first time they saw tron 1 -
and whether the interpretations were common.

there is no right or wrong answer. its the
interpretations that are of particular interest.

in particular the entire scene of the travel
into the grid.

for those that watched tron 1 if you could
remember how you interpreted this particular scene the
first time you saw it.

example:

the first time i saw it when i was a child/teen/adult and thought
i was viewing thru flynn's eye as he was brought into the grid.

or

i was a teen when i watched it and that tunnel scene made me
feel like falling - or feels like getting out -
or it made me think of being born etc.

or

i watched it as a child on dvd and it felt like i was the one
getting sucked in the grid.

if posters could also say whether the first time
they watched it were as children, teen, adults it would be
helpful.

I thought:
"Woah!!!" , "radical man!!!" and " He's being turned into energy and computer information and sucked into the electronic world! "
Seriously... I was about 7 at the time.abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

I thought it was a good representation of being broken down into digital information and beamed somewhere. I imagine this is what one might (and I say that with all speculation) experience if teleportation technology existed. abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

Hmmm...the first time I saw it...I think I just thought it was an eagle eye sort of view of being turned into data. Or maybe i didn't think anything and was just like "Whoa, cool!! ...I'm dizzy..."
How old was I...I don't even remember.

The first time I saw it as a kid I thought "The computer is disintegrating him!"

Before that I already had the same reaction with Star Trek teleporters, thinking the devices were actually killing the characters and building a copy on the other side. sure, same thing for any third party observer, but the originals WERE obliterated in the process.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pillwhere to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

That just rules. I thought I was the only one that remembered those games.

I loved Battle Network 3 & 4. Played white and blue, I liked Blue better. Then battle Network 4 Red Sun and Blue Moon, played both too, I liked Red Sun more, but I progressed further in Blue Moon.

Never played 5 & 6. Don't even know their names without a Google Search

we recently visited an ad agency, and i had an
interesting conversation with the art department
about visual cues.

they claim that certain visual cues become standard
in art - like the star trek teleportation effect that
becomes an acceptable visual cue to depict transition
from one place to another- using a machine.

meaning their art dept. can't depict "human self- teleportation" using
the "trek visual effect" because the public accepted
the visual as "machine teleportation"

another art guy pointed at nightcrawler's teleportation visual,
saying that the movie was watched by so many people
the "self-teleportation visual" itself becomes universally accepted.

meaning their art dept. cant depict "machine teleportation" using
the nightcrawler visual because people accepted
it as a self-teleportation visual.

with regards to tron legacy, and sam's transition from
real-world to grid. even tho the transition was quick,
i know my mind accepted the visual cue.
i know my mind was already thinking "sam's already in
the grid"

in light of the talk with the art department. i can't
shake the feeling that i've seen that particular visual transition
before many times.

i just cant remember whether i've seen it in movie,
commercial, mtv etc. but i'm pretty sure i've seen it
because my mind accepted the visual cue as
sam's transition to the grid.

The tunnel sort of reminded me of the time vortex in Doctor Who...

one of the art guys also mentioned the tunnel
scene. they had many interpretations, but they
all agree it was considered a "universal visual" for
transitions, they also claimed "Dr. who" as
helping make the visuals universally accepted.

oh, thanks for the input Disc Warrior

Also, I don't know if it really was ever meant to make sense per say. Caught between realms, the mind probably wouldn't be able to comprehend what was happening anyhow.

Another great example of this is in 2001.

That was a key element of the Stephen King short "The Jaunt", sorry if this may spoil the story but in his story which is about teleportation in the future, the mind interprets the journey as being an eternity so all teleportation trips are made under sedation as side effects from awake travellers have had seriously bad side effects.abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

It could also easily be a representation of Flynn's mind slowly coming to grips with its new surroundings. It's interesting that at the beginning, the imagery is extremely abstract and chaotic, and then it slowly becomes more logical until finally it starts to look like what the grid is actually supposed to look like.

Just realized too that when Flynn first sees the landscape, it's inverted and then it flips over. When babies are first born, they see images upside down, and then the brain adapts and corrects it.

dave's perspective on entering the obelisk?

yeah that was trippy. and 2001 certainly set
an acceptable visual for "machine-assisted teleportation"
since the movie was in 1968.

interesting interpretation on a "particular mind trying to impose order".

its like when we each see different patterns of animals/objects in clouds.
or when we see visual patterns in tv static (well for those
of us old enough to still remember tv static)

or a little like those hidden image stereograms that were a fad years ago.

It reminds me of Jumper (2008).
