The original TRON parallels Wikileaks because both tell a story of a protaganist hacking into a major official site (wikileaks being our government, TRON being the ENCOM mainframe) to save people and let them know the truth. Both are centered around relieving and finding the truth to shed light for the people. Also, the original TRON really sets a bar for movies during that generation digitally and visually, just like wikileaks sets the bar for availability of classified information that is out their on the world wide web.
I'm learning a lot more about the war we are in and watch is literally going on their from the videos on wikileaks. There is actually footage of soldiers fighting and bombs detonating, its actually a very scaring thing to see. I also found it interesting that Michael Moore bailed Julian Assange out of jail. Its amazing the attention and hatred AND love he is getting from the public. Wikileaks really helps reinforce digital media and the accessibility it gives its users. Its crazy within a click, anyone can find out classified and secrete information about our own government.
