The other night I went to a midnight screening of “Tron Legacy”, besides missing the first 15 minutes of the movie due to a case of the sleeps I was thoroughly entertained. Not only were the visual effects stunning (including Jeff Bridges digital face lift), the story line not too bad considering it’s about the a man who is trapped in a digital word of his own creation and enemies of the state are made to fight gladiatorial style.
For a movie, so steeped in high technology there were plenty of references to history. As I mentioned before; the gladiatorial style battles, the genocide of an entire race, to a madman’s lust for perfection. As a fashionphile I was more interested in the visual cues in the costumes. The most fascinating to me being the markings on them, which referenced old military uniforms, from the wide break at the chest that referenced the lapel of a jacket, to the discs which were a nod to buttons and of course the markings along the legs which are reminiscent of jodhpurs.
