We didn't deserve TRON Legacy, and we certainly didn't appreciate it.
There are storytelling complexities here that are completely unappreciated to this day,
but it's not because the film's ideas and techniques go above the audience's heads.
You see, this film was just shy of the monstrous tidal wave of 80s inspired entertainment that
has consumed our current media everything.
Had TRON Legacy been released 4 years later, it would have been a guaranteed success.
But there's something different in the way that this film presents its nostalgic elements
because they serve a storytelling purpose.
It's easy to stick in a Eurythmics song or a poster for the Black Hole, but getting
them to mean something in the context of the story is much more difficult.
Quick side note: I want that poster so bad.
Back on topic: In the film, Kevin Flynn, genius programmer and one of the main characters
of the first TRON, has been missing, trapped in The Grid for over 20 years.
Sam, who rejects his father's legacy and thinks Kevin abandoned his family, finds himself
in the video game arcade his dad used to run.
The moment he turns on the power for the first time in 20 years, the music player comes alive
again and resumes playing "Separate Ways" by Journey.
This is important.
Music plays a huge role in TRON Legacy.
The lyrics of "Separate Ways" are written from the perspective of someone who is metaphorically
a world apart from the person he loves, but sings the song to let that person know he
still cares about them.
Kevin Flynn is literally a world apart from his son Sam, and it's almost as if Kevin
left that song in the arcade in the event of his disappearance to remind Sam he still
cares about him.
I can't actually play the song here because copyright.
And I'm not gonna sing it- alright, I'll sing a little.
SOMEDAY, LOVE WILL FIND YOU.
BREAK THOSE CHAINS THAT BIND YOU.
ONE NIGHT WILL REMIND YOU.
HOW WE TOUCHED AND WENT OUR SEPARATE WAYS.
There are so many levels here.
There's the level of "this is an 80s song and people who saw the original in the theater
will recognize it."
There's the connection with Journey, because they had songs in the soundtrack of the original
TRON, making that nostalgic connection feel more justified.
But then there's the level that Sam is entering a place untouched since the 1980s, like that
song is transporting him and the audience back in time.
And at the very core, there's the level that the lyrics are Kevin's voice reaching
out to Sam, letting him know that he didn't abandon him and that he still loves his son.
The entire story revolves around Sam and Kevin reuniting and repairing their broken family
bond.
The inclusion of (and I'm using quotations here) "Nostalgic Entertainment" isn't
simply to say, "Hey, remember the 80s?"
It's a storytelling tool, creating foreshadowing in a way that is a little goofy, but very
satisfying, and subtle enough that you might not pick up on it the first time you watch.
As I stated earlier, music plays a huge role in this film.
Nowhere is that more apparent than in The Grid, an advanced computer system filled with
artificial intelligence programs.
Sam uncovers the gateway to The Grid in the arcade and is transported there to find that
it's under the hostile rule of a system his father created in his own image named
Clu.
To create the world of The Grid, what we hear needs to be just as powerful as what we see.
Do I even need to address the fact that getting Daft Punk to compose a TRON soundtrack is
the greatest idea ever conceived?
The score for TRON Legacy is absolutely stellar.
There are nuances at play here that go far beyond my comprehension of music theory, but
here are a few things I do understand.
For one, the score makes excellent use of the arpeggio.
This is a term used to describe when a chord is broken up into individual notes and they
are played in either ascending or descending order.
There is perfect symmetry in an arpeggio, almost too perfect, as though it were created
by a machine.
When played over and over again, it's almost drowning and robotic feeling.
Couple this with the fact that the bulk of the music during the Grid sequences is done
with synthesized instruments, and you have a score that fully immerses us in the the
technological soundscapes of this technological system.
However, that doesn't mean that more traditional orchestral instruments are absent from the
film's score.
They're used during several action sequences and emotional moments between Sam and his
father.
The fact that they're brought into the picture during scenes that involve the film's two
human characters is important because it distinguishes their world from The Grid.
This becomes increasingly important during the film's final moments.
In the last scene, we see Sam after he escapes the grid with Quorra.
As she feels the warmth of the sun for the first time, the music swells with both synthesized
and tangible instruments, the convergence of both The Grid and our world.
The two of them ride together, ready for whatever awaits them.
The fact that there is no sequel is seen by many to be a tragedy, but in all honesty,
I don't want a sequel.
I love where this film ends.
I love all the unanswered questions.
I love how the existence of Quorra and the ISOs is never explained.
Realistically, we are probably not getting a third TRON, but that's okay it's easy
to be satisfied with what we have, especially with the existence of a film as phenomenal
as TRON Legacy.
Thank you so much for watching this video.

THANKFUL - A Thanksgiving Fable for Children by Oliver Herford - Duration: 0:56.
A FABLE
(Evergreen Tales theme music playing.)
It was a hungry pussy cat Upon Thanksgiving morn,
And she watched a thankful little mouse That ate an ear of corn.
"If I ate that thankful little mouse, How thankful he should be,
When he has made a meal himself, To make a meal for me!
"Then, with his thanks for having fed And his thanks for feeding me
With all his thankfulness inside How thankful I shall be!"
Thus mused the hungry pussy cat Upon Thanksgiving Day.
But the little mouse had overheard, And declined (with thanks) to stay.

And the bear has been

Looking out the window
Let him hang on

Beautiful as a fairy tale And kind as an elephant
Eyes of a baby You close it soon

The sun is asleep, Sleep and fish in the pond
Oh lu li lu Oh Lu li lu
A magical rainbow awaits us in a dream
And there you can ride the moon.
Bright colors, Decorated the house,
Tomorrow we will be together Playing with the cat.

ROBERT HARDMAN watches as mourners pay Respect for the Queen of Soul - Daily News - Duration: 8:30.
Even by royal standards, this was one hell of a send-off.America had come to say farewell to Aretha Franklin at Detroit's Greater Grace Temple with a service that was already scheduled to last for six hours at the outset
It then started an hour and a half late because of the sheer number of mourners flocking to pay their respects
As a result, the metropolis of music and motors began its exhaustive tribute to the Queen of Soul yesterday morning and it was still going strong long into the afternoon
Detroit was determined to show the world its own version of a state funeral – with a cavalcade of pink Cadillacs (a homage to Aretha's 1985 hit Freeway Of Love, in which she sang 'riding in my pink Cadillac'), an ex-President, whole pews of charismatic pastors and preachers plus numerous celebrities swaying self-consciously to the gleefully infectious gospel vibe
Share this article Share What we all really wanted to hear, of course, was the music
For a talent of this magnitude – a prodigy who had her first record deal at 12 and was still packing halls in her seventies, a diva hailed by Rolling Stone magazine as the 'greatest singer of all time' – there was going to have to be some pretty exemplary music
No pressure, therefore, on the lengthy line-up of musical mourners including Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson and Ariana Grande
First, however, came the tributes. Dozens of them. And they did not hold back. Aretha had been the daughter of a famous preacher, the Rev Dr C L Franklin
She was raised on fiery Bible-bashing and Sunday choirs.Representatives of what seemed to be every church and denomination in Detroit lined up to honour one of their own and did so with great passion
Two hours had passed before the performances finally kicked off courtesy of country music star Faith Hill singing What A Friend We Have In Jesus
Soon afterwards, the youthful Ariana Grande skipped on to sing (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, a Franklin hit decades before she was even born
The best seats in the house were reserved neither for musicians nor clergy but for politicians
As many speakers pointed out, Aretha Franklin's role as a pillar and symbol of the civil rights movement was every bit as important as her musical attributes
America was, after all, laying to rest a woman who had performed at the funeral of Dr Martin Luther King and the inauguration of Barack Obama
Her body – in a sparkling full-length gold dress with sequined heels – had been brought to the church in the same hearse that carried the great civil rights protester Rosa Parks to her final farewell
In pride of place was a rather wobbly looking Reverend Jesse Jackson, twice a contender for the Democratic presidential nomination, alongside Bill Clinton
The ex-president was doing his awkward best to clap along and show that he was suffused with the spirit while not overdoing the head-shaking, the gyrations and the 'Amens'
Shades of Theresa May on her current dancing tour of Africa.Another giant of the civil rights movement, the Reverend Al Sharpton, launched into an effervescent riff attacking everyone from President Trump to the Grim Reaper – with plenty of 'Hallelujahs' from the congregation – before reading out a message from Obama
'From a young age, Aretha Franklin rocked the world of anyone who had the pleasure of hearing her voice,' Obama wrote
'In the example she set, both as an artist and a citizen, Aretha embodied those most revered virtues of forgiveness and reconciliation, while the music she made captured some of our deepest human desires – namely affection and respect
'A similar message from George W Bush was received with generous applause. He told the congregation: 'Aretha was a woman of achievement
' Clinton went on for more than twice his allotted five minutes, describing himself as an original 'Aretha groupie'
'She had the voice of a generation,' he reflected, 'maybe the voice of a century
'Every strand of American society seemed united in respect and solemnity yesterday
By sheer coincidence, Aretha Franklin's grand departure coincided with the funeral of Vietnam hero-turned-Republican colossus Senator John McCain
The news networks found themselves hopping between the stiff upper lips and uniforms of the political and military establishments in Washington and the exuberant emotions on display in Detroit
There was no sense of competition or incongruity. Rather, these two substantial commemorations seemed to complement each other handsomely
One person conspicuously absent from both events, of course, was the current president
The tributes to Aretha extended far beyond Detroit. Even that other Queen over the water had a tribute of her own
Yesterday's Changing the Guard at Buckingham Palace broke off from the usual repertoire of marching favourites as the Band of the Welsh Guards launched into Franklin's most famous hit
The crowd swayed along to R-E-S-P-E-C-T and broke into applause at the end. British state occasions can be a little on the lengthy side but none comes close to this bladder-busting celebration/commemoration (more than twice the duration of the Coronation)
The local politicians were not going to miss out, however. Detroit's mayor took to the stage to announce that the city council would be renaming its most famous park 'Aretha Franklin Park'
The city council then rose as one to deliver an impromptu vote to ratify the decision, prompting much applause
Quite right, too. So much classier than an airport. No Queen wants to be remembered for lost luggage
Noting that a major highway would bear the singer's name, another civic worthy stood at the lectern and demanded that America issue an Aretha Franklin postage stamp
The governor of Michigan even suggested that her voice should be registered as an official natural resource
There is not the remotest chance that future Detroit generations will not have heard of the very great Aretha Franklin
