*** 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 hacker group 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 main characters (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.
Now, 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 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+
Unfornatelly, there is a story here and it's not good.
The main villian is trying to get rich and put the blame on our hackers.
The plan makes little sense, that's one thing.
But everything about that particular screams /fake/.
He has the most over the top quotes and reactions - even if he has the only hacker-worthy keyboard to be seen 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.

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.
