TRON (1982) is about many things– some deliberate, some unintentional, some we’ll never know
but one of the most interesting is, it’s about role reversal between gods and humans.

Which of them has simple, straightforward moral directives, upheld without inconsistency?*
Which of them has the potential to be immortal, if only their friends on the other side can continue practicing enough reverence for them?
