You have to hate happiness to hate this movie because it has everything you want:
It has intrigue, it has a love story, it has a child genius,
and then, at the end, you get to see bad people go to jail.
It's perfect.
I discovered "Hackers" because when I was like 10 or 11, there was this TV channel
that I think doesn't exist anymore; it was called TechTV.
And there were all these hacker subculture jokes.
"I first read about Van Eck phreaking in a science fiction novel."
"Actually, it was Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon."
"I'm not exactly a leet haxor, but I do consider myself a hacker."
"Right."
And I just got really into the idea of becoming a hacker myself.
And I stumbled across this movie as the definitive cliché of what hackers were like.
So I do remember finding a legitimate download of the movie that wasn't porn or spyware,
and — I hope this isn't illegal to talk about now.
I'm sure the statute of limitations is over...
But I found a download of the movie, and I had to set it on the computer for —
I think it was 18 hours.
And by 10 p.m. the next day it was ready.
And I actually stayed up and watched it.
And from there, I was hooked.
It got me into techno; it got me into computers;
I think it changed the way I dressed at the time.
I definitely remember trying to dress like the main character.
He just looks flawless throughout the film.
There's two outfits that are just crazy.
1. He wears a short-sleeved shirt cut up to here with no irony, no nothing.
It's just like: this is what you're supposed to wear.
He's got slim jeans and then these high Doc Martens boots, so this very punk look,
but also kinda very futuristic look.
And then, he's also got this really sick vest that he wears on his first day of school
with rollerblades because everyone's rollerblading in the movie.
And then Angelina Jolie's character also looks just incredible
where she's got this short, little pixie cut.
I think at one point she's wearing a surf wetsuit underneath — or like, as a shirt —
and then has it tucked into jeans, which is just the most fire look you could ever come up with.
The best part of the movie, though, is the fact that during all of the hacking scenes,
they turn it very literal, so instead of it being like oh, you know, a page full of script
or code or whatever, it's like they're going into literal cyberspace.
So you see these literal arrows going out where it's like, "Pew! Pew!"
Another cool thing about "Hackers" is that the soundtrack is pretty authentic, in my opinion,
of a '90s rave vision of New York.
There's a Prodigy song called "Voodoo People" that plays throughout the film,
and it's just this kinda like — it's got this hardcore riff to it where it's just like, "pff pff" —
How does it even go?
Wait.
I should play it.
I should just play it.
Can you guys hear this?
So it starts, it sounds kinda like a rock song, right?
But then something really crazy happens around the drop that really blew my mind.
So you get these drums coming in, and it's like,
whoa, wait, that's too fast for a rock song, but it's not a rap song...
What is this?
It's techno.
If you haven't seen it, if you haven't watched it since you were a kid,
if you lived the '90s that I can only imagine and haven't revisited "Hackers,"
I can't think of a better time than right now, as the world falls apart around us
to imagine a group of teenagers whose only commitment is to hack the planet.
I think that's just a beautiful thing.
"Hack the planet."
"Hack the planet!"
