TRON: LEGACY
Uncle Wee Liang took me out to see Tron in Gold Class. Gold Class is very nice and comfortable. Instead of a tiny chair, the Gold Class has recliners that come with blankets. You do not have to bring your drinks or popcorn in but instead a waiter comes in and gives you them.
Here is the wikipedia page for TRON for more info:
Tron is a very interesting movie as it has a lot of cool battle scenes and great music. The best part about Tron is that they refer to Buddhism not once but twice.
The first time is when the phrase, "taking yourself out of the equation" is said by Quorra when in Flynn's house in the grid. Taking yourself out of the equation means selflessness and selflessness is one of the good qualities we must possess according to Buddhism.
The second Buddhist thing that is mentioned is meditation as Flynn seems to meditate at every second when there is no fighting in the movie. Meditation is a method to achieve inner peace with oneself.
SUCK
Here is the wikipedia link for SUCK :
Suck is a movie that was recommended by Rinpoche. It reminded me of a straight version of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It is a rock band turned vampire. i am still analyzing the movie to look for some Dharma within it. It is an honest Canadian comedy. You will get a lot of laughs from it Suck parodies many of the popular stances by famous singers such as the Beatles when they are crossing the street.
One of my favourite parts in the movie is that when the bass player who is a vampire is hungry, she is told to go suck on a cow by the roadside. I just thought that was pretty funny.
THANK YOU UNCLE WEE LIANG FOR THE GOLD CLASS TICKET TO TRON!!!!!!!!
