every time i see someone call tron 'cyberpunk', i lose ten years off my lifespan
#note to self literally never read letterboxd reviews of movies i like i cant do it anymore kdjfgkdssd
#say you saw the movie and the plot and visuals went right over your head without saying it
#like. in what world is tron dystopic?? cyberpunk in itself is an offshoot of dystopian fiction. tron is not about an imagined future
#tron is about an imagined PRESENT. thinking about our PRESENT relationship with technology in relation to the times each film was released
#tron is in equal measures hopeful and critical about technology. that is NOT cyberpunk
#the only CyberPunk that matters in tron is the Tron2.0 character of the same name
#i will admit that tron's plot is cyberpunk derived but its. idk man its not the same thing
#thematically its different. visually i think tron shares developmental artists with blade runner where the cyberpunk visual stereotype was
#- established
#but blade runner is more pure cyberpunk thematically than tron is. does that make any sense
#and. and. listen to me. i am number one retrofuture fan. i love syd mead. i love moebius. but listen. just because they worked on tron -
#- does NOT mean tron is thematically OR visually retrofuturistic either!! the visuals match the time it was made!! thats not retrofuturism!
#thats normal scifi based on the every day!!!
#tron is a sandbox and at the end of the day anyone can do whatever they want its all just for fun
#at the same time. the entire story of tron is being severely misrepresented when labelled as cyberpunk. and it makes me sad
#these are very shallow thoughts i just miss literary thematic analysis sometimes. my film studies classes cannot come soon enough
