-*** TODO Hackers (1995)
-
-There are movies which I absolutely despised when I first saw them.
-They were loud, abnoxious, made little sense.
-Some of them, with passing time, grew on me.
-
-Hackers is a 1995 movie about, well, hackers.
-We start with Dade, an 11 year old geek, being arrested for hacking and crashing over 1,5k computer systems.
-He is sentenced to the worst imaginable sentence - an judge impossed mandated ban on using computer system till he reaches 18 years of age.
-Somehow we don't care what happened during those years, as we jump 7 years in the future (which seem to be undefined "now" of 1990s).
-Dade is hacking once again, and as a result he joins a group of hackers and becomes part of an conspiracy.
-
-Say what you will, /Hackers/ takes the hacker ethos pretty seriously and this is what espaced my teenage understanding.
-All of the main characters (wh are using simply amazing handles, like Zero Cool or Cereal Killer) break into system for the fun of it.
-They are prosecuted by the govermnent and media portrayes them as dangerous individuals, but they are anything but malificicet.
-
-The hacking scenes make close to zero sense - but that's hollywood for you.
-We haven't seen serious attempt at showing it before /Mr Robot/.
-Therefore, we can see past it.
-
-But we can't see past the fashion.
-I have no idea /how/ anyone came with what we see here, but it's simply glorious.
-Just look!
-I refuse to believe, that this was not the official fashion of New York in the 90s.
-
-Also, the quotes.
-If there is a infinitelly quotable movie, it is Hackers.
-/Hack the Planet/ or /"There is no right and wrong. There's only fun and boring/ should be recognized by anyone working in IT.
-I may be wrong, but I think there are questions about /Hackers/ on CompTIA Security+
-
-What the movies makes in its heart, it lacks in brains.
-The main villian is trying to get rich and put the blame on our hackers.
-The plan makes very little sense, as the /twist/ (which I will not reveal) would be very quickly discovered.
-This removes some of the tension, as it's not stopping the evil guy, but about who will go jail.
-
-The antagonist character is also weak.
-He has the most over the top quotes and reactions - even if he has the only hacker-worthy keyboard to be seen here.
-The acting is great, as no one bursed out laughing, but no points here.
-
-/Hackers/ is a fun little movie, with a huge soul.
-It's dumb, loud and over-stylized.
-But it's also one the few movies which show the soul of a hacker.
-I think everyone should see it at least once.
-
-#+begin_quote
-You wage wars, murder, cheat, lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals. Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity.
