Title: Avatar is a Leftist Political Movie?

According to Lee Doren it must be since it attacks those that are successful.

I saw one of my most favorite movies the other night...

When I was a kid, back in 1982, the first Computer Animated movie (CGI) was produced by Disney pictures. As a computer nerd from way back I was inspired and motivated by the movie TRON. It is available on DVD now and I saw it...

The movie has a messianic plot, that humans are the gods and we create the programs which exist inside the computer world. A maniacal Master Control program starts to take over the system, incarcerating the programs and making them play video games on the game grid till they are destroyed. The hero of the story must obtain some data from its user in order to bring down the master control program.

I do not see any leftist ideology in TRON only the idea that we all, us software engineers at least, have the ability to alter the virtual world and establish justice and harmony into the system. It is ironic that in the movie the belief in users by the programs is considered religion because MCP denied the existence of users.

Heck Yes

I just found this out the other night... And it is so ironic because I was reminded of the movie because when I was talking with a friend I said:

"Its all in the wrist!", which is what Flyn said in TRON in one scene...

Then I wanted to see the movie... And then I found out they are making a completely new movie along the same lines as the original.

I am looking forward to more TRON...
