Ready Player One: A Tribute to Pop Culture

Hello, hello Geekines! How was your Christmas Eve? I hope you were good children and that Santa brought them that video game they wanted so much This year. I thoroughly enjoyed mine, after a lovely dinner, and as a good geeky writer, I've seen a movie that has made it onto my list of movies to watch a million times without getting tired: RReady Player One.

When did this start? relive the good things of the past, I couldn't really say, but I like it. And I know I'm not the only one, thanks to this wave of nostalgia we're experiencing. Great classics have come back to life. What better example than Nintendo and its retro consoles or the resurgence of Atari as the creator of his own team.

And this new wave This doesn't only apply to video games, It also affects the way we dress, what we eat, and even going to the movies. We already had... Guardians of the Galaxy Will stayed behind with the best of the 80s, And now we have Ready Player One, a wonderful tribute to Pop and Geek Culture.

The birth of a culture with Ready Player One

Ready Player One It's a movie for those of us who have an older brother, young parents or grandparents, ...those kids who love telling us about their childhood adventures. Because this film is a concentrated dose of... References to movies, video games, TV series, comics, manga, anime, literature and characters that changed and made an impact on the world.

Today I'm not here to give spoilers or an analysis of the film, but to encourage them to see this brilliant creation by Steven Spielberg. Ready Player One It is based in the eponymous science fiction novel written by Ernest Cline, who fan of the geek world and its beginnings.

The story of Ready Player One It takes place in a dystopian future, where everyone plays in the virtual reality metaverse called OASIS. The protagonist, Wade Owen Watts, like everyone else, prefers to escape the real world by playing games. However, The key to changing your lifestyle lies within the video game.

The creator of this virtual reality universe is James Halliday, a pop culture fanatic and a fantastic video game programmer. After his death, a video announces that the game contains an Easter egg and whoever finds it will inherit his entire fortune and control of the GSS company.

Classics

Throughout the entire film We encountered countless pop culture references. You'll be thrilled to see video game classics like the Atari 2600 or a Minecraft image. Sometimes it will only be mentions, like the name of Peter Parker or Bruce Banner. And I know that, just like me, It will touch your geeky heart.

I would recommend Watch it before the end of 2018, So that you can start 2019 with a different vision. Although you can also start the first day of the year with a very geeky movie That's a good idea. Plus, you can add some good company to see who can identify the most references.

I hope that after reading this you'll go see it and then Come back here and leave your opinion of this incredible movie, created by a geek for geeks..
