I keep thinking about Tron: Legacy,
and about doubles.
The entire movie seemed to be about the
concept of the double.
You have the obvious, Kevin Flynn
creating Clu in hi own image. And the slightly less obvious, but
still out in the open of Rinzler/Tron, with his two disks and dual
nature. But then you have the concept of the discs everyone has on
their backs, having a record of the sum total of their life and
experiences.
It's a sort of Akashic Double, or informational double. And
the disc can be accessed, the information changed, and the
person/program/Iso can be altered.
Plus, you've got the owner of the
“End of Line” club who, not only has a dual identity, but also
Has the Name “Castor”, as in “Castor & Pollux”, otherwise
known as “Gemini”.
It also seems to show that Kevin Flynn
could only see his faults through the creation of a flawed double of
himself (Clu/Demiurge).
Other numbers seem important as well.
I'm not sure if it's tangentially related to the emphasis on doubles
or not.
For instance you have the holy trinity
of tha Father, the Son, and the 'Holy Ghost' of Quorra. She is one
of the “Iso's” who were emergent phenomenon that came seemingly
from nowhere (Ghost like) and were repeatedly called “the miracle”
by Kevin Flynn (holy).
You also have five show up as an
important number with Clu, Rinzler, Jarvis, and two black guards.
I'm still not sure of the exact meaning
behind the doubling and twinning, aside from the obvious reference to
duality. But there's something deeper there, tugging at the edges of
my mind.
This post might seem a little less well written than my others, and slightly scattered, but I felt I needed to get these ideas down while they were still somewhat fresh in my mind. It's all still rolling about in mt mind, and I'll be writing
a follow up post once it congeals.
