Wreck-it Ralph

I couldn't remember watching this movie before, but when I met Turbo, I recognized the movie and I knew that it was not my first time watching it. This lead me to think that Wreck-it Ralph was probably a movie that I don't remember quite well and therefore it was a movie that had no deep effect on me which leads me to conclude that it was not important or good for me. At least not in the past.

When I re-watched this movie a couple of days ago I viewed it under other eyes, and I liked what I saw. I liked seeing Browser from Mario and the villain of PacMan at the villains convention, I thought it was a really nice touch from the developers (although not an obligation to have in a movie). Still, it was a nice touch, one that if I had the movie, I would have definitely paid for.
As I've previously said in other posts, I enjoy complex characters that make tough decisions that mold the way they are, and this movie is one great example of one character that was coded to be evil, but he doesn't want to be the bad guy. In fact, he wants to be good and he goes on an adventure in search for that goodness.
For me, it would have been more interesting if him leaving actually ended his game from the arcade, meaning that his actions would result in the villain or the cause of the main "evil" plot, but that is not what happened. Although, it was close to happen.
I love the duality between good and bad, but I think it could have been much better and that is the only reason why I like the other two movies (Maleficent and Frozen) more. These two movies show a more broad duality. A more complex duality, and that is what I like in a movie!
As a Computer Scientist major, I am driven to talk about the part where turbo, as the king of this world, destroys the code of the Glitch and locks her away. I love how the characters have so much free will to the fact that they can actually change code! This is the best part of the movie, because it means that they have to follow the script (or code) in order to be part of the arcade, but they have enough liberty to not do so and this is the perfect description of society.
As part of a free society we have to follow some kind of script, yet we are not force to do so, and this is depicted perfectly in this movie. Additionally, the movie shows how characters deal with the script and how they act when they are not being viewed by society and this is a perfect mirroring of the world we live in and the people that surround us.

Some people play their part and act their role, but when we stop watching them their true inner self comes out.
