    Hackers remains a cult favorite despite its archaic technology, because of its inventive visuals and infectious energy. The film moves at a very brisk pace and seldom takes itself seriously.

This was when he had long hair etc. I knew the face from somewhere but couldn't place it the whole time I was eating breakfast. Finally he and whoever he was with got up from their booth and started to walk outside and I figured it out. So I said casually to my friend I was eating with "I think we were just sitting across from Macaulay Culkin this whole time", and I don't know if he heard me or what, because at that instant he turns around, sees me looking at him, makes this chest-bumping motion as if to say "yeah it's me, so what?" and then flashes me a double thumbs-up as he gets in his car. Totally made my day haha. Seems like a really chill dude.

      Yeah, I think Mac's description of the music in the movie was a little off. He said it was all kinda techno and had a wanna-be Rage Against The Machine vibe. Orbital's music doesn't fit into either of those categories. One of my pet peeves is how pretty much all electronic music in the 90's was categorized as "techno". Also, I recall the entire soundtrack being electronic and nothing at all sounded like Rage Against The Machine type of music.

    • @chano1283
      @chano1283 Před 4 lety +16

      I believe the “Rage” sounding band that Mac is referring to is the band you see playing live towards the end of the movie. They were Urban Dance Squad, a Dutch band. Also, the soundtrack features like, half of the Prodigy album, “Music for the Jilted Generation”. Yes, annoying when all electronic music is called Techno. Adults, am I right? 🙄 🤣

    17:22 It's a reference to William Gibson. One of the founding authors of the cyberpunk genre. 17:26 Those books are real. They're called the Rainbow Series. I think a lot of appreciation of this film is lost on you because it's an hour and a half ester egg intended for an audience that knows something about computer science. Is it corny? Yes. Are the graphics way over the top? Yes. But disassembling binaries is not visually exciting. The execs wanted more than us just staring at a command prompt and a text editor, so of course they had to put in crazy visuals.

      So yeah - the guys might mock the term "handle" but that's a real thing (albeit more from BBS culture than Internet culture at the time). It's just that everything is portrayed in such an outlandish way that it seems unbelievable. I'm not sure if this film mocks hacker culture or tries too hard to celebrate it.

    I only saw this movie once, in the 90s. Should rewatch it sometime.
    The names are probably the most realistic part of it. Quoting from 'The Hacker Crackdown' by Bruce Sterling (a book????):
    'It should be further recognized that the members of these groups are themselves pseudonymous. If you did, in fact, run across the "PhoneLine Phantoms," you would find them to consist of "Carrier Culprit," "The Executioner," "Black Majik," "Egyptian Lover," "Solid State," and "Mr Icom." "Carrier Culprit" will likely be referred to by his friends as "CC," as in, "I got these dialups from CC of PLP."'

    When Macauley got married in New Preston, CT (the church near lake Waramaug) we drove by honking and mooning them as they came out... had no clue it was him

    I loved Lillards performance, he acted like a young kid who was absolutely stoked over living the life he lived and who wanted to give a cool impression, spot on portrayal of how kids put on an act when they're still young and haven't found themselves yet.

    to be fair, this movie was pretty accurate on how the "Scene" was back in 94-95. the techno babble was alright, and as a stylized visual representation of what looking through a file system for data, it is better than looking at a guy throwing commands in to a *-nix terminal for 10 minutes :) I love the movie hackers, its a beautiful time capsule.. of before the internet became widespread, and the script kiddies took over :p

      Mr. Robot does the shells and it look legit. Most of their hacks are like 98% legit. Even the tools are real.

      Maybe if Jake Lloyd gets out of the mental hospital he's been locked up in, and manages to not hate RLM for the Plinkett Star Wars reviews. I have a feeling Jake would sneak a gun in and kill them all on camera.

      I'd be up for Eddie Furlong but he needs to club Mike in the balls everytime Star Trek is brought up.

    Always found this movie awesome and I loved the characters. Also the music was fabulous and it opened a whole new world for me.. Good stuff and I think it\s aged pretty well too.
