Posts: 54 | why the number 3?
on Sunday, May, 19, 2013 11:12 PM
The number 3 has a lot of significance for me so I thought it was really cool to see it show up on the grid so much. Throughout Tron: Legacy the number 3 appears many times. Sam Flynn is combatant 3 so it shows up multiple times during the games, including on his helmet. It shows up on the floor of the recognizer, on the floor of the armory, on doors and in Kevin Flynn's light cycle. Does anyone know why Joseph Kosinski decided to use this number so much? What's the significance with the number 3?

Maybe it's his favorite number. Maybe it's a personal Easter egg. Maybe it's because it shows up in religion so much. Maybe it stands for the triumvirates of Flynn/Tron/Ram and Flynn/Tron/Yori and Flynn/Sam/Quorra. Maybe he liked the way it looked best in that font. Has anyone ever asked him in an interview?order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

Thanks for the response, Kat. I'm not sure if he has been asked that question in an interview. I'm thinking that something hidden so inconspicuously must be something personal. Maybe it's his signature. I wonder if the number 3 shows up in his other work.

Probably hard to say, since I believe T:L was his first film. I saw Oblivion just the other day, and I can tell you I don't recall seeing a "3" anywhere even remotely prominent.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

Interesting.. I also wondering about the numbers...
and the number 3 in the movie.
But it's hard to know for sure!

I'm convinced that the number 3 has everything to do with Sam Flynn. Of course he is combatant 3 so every time the number 3 appears in the games it is directly connected to him. It is the number he was given during the games. The other times it shows up, in Flynn's light cycle or on the floor of the recognizer, Sam is right there. It signals his presence. Some have suggested character grouping in threes. I believe this is correct and Sam is the third of a grouping. Kevin Flynn, Tron, Sam Flynn.abortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion

Maybe it's because Sam is the third "Flynn" on the Grid? If you think about it, Kevin was the first, then he created CLU (which was an exact copy of Kevin himself, so therefore, the second "Flynn"), and then Sam shows up, and it's the third "Flynn". Maybe the Grid recognizes the three different entities of "Flynn"? I don't know. But it definitely would be a good question to ask Joseph Kosinski.
