The Tron sequel was an improvement on the first movie. God Knows, I love Jeff Bridges. The story was complex but easy to follow. Flynn's son falls in the video game like Alice with the rabbit hole. There he finds his Dad and Dads younger self video self called Clue. Well Surprise-Surprise, Clue it turns out isn't Pixar cute and has a plan for outer world domination. Sam Flynn, son of the Tron inventor, has to travel the grid with a hot babe to get to the portal to home. The Wonderful Wizard of Tron who get him home is Zuse. So someone sends our boy Son to Castor a disco tech who wants to dance and club all the time. Castor is all in white. with a That Girl flip, and small Fedora and light cane which he twirls like a baton. Castor its turn out is the superevil, supersmart and all powerful Zuse. Who Knew? All really powerful supervilians can be found drinking chi-chi drinks and shaking their behinds.
The bad thing about Castor/Zuse is it's nothing knew. It's homophobia at its purist. Hollywood has been doing for years. A disco-queen can't be just that they have tobe something more-something sinister. All big 'Mo keep secret and can't be trusted and agenda. Don't believe me ask any tea bagger, focus on the family or a large part of the community over 40. Movie like this reinforce that stereotype.
Michael Sheen the actor who played Castor/Zuse calls his chartacter pattern after Ziggy Stardusk and host from Cabaret. Ziggy Stardusk was the sexly ambiguous character by David Bowie. Cabaret takes place in a gay bar called the Kit kat club. I only found one source that took notice of this the Daily Beast. http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-12-23/tron-legacy-and-gay-villains-through-hollywood-history/
