Lets say you went about trying to make a good hacking movie. You would need: a) a machine that is not an apple (lets move away from the trend. b) a monitor that does not "project" its image onto the face of the "hacker" c) subject matter that in all truth, is boring to most that would see it.
Now, to change this to a movie people would go see: a) an apple b) a projection monitor c) a love intrest, some sort of action sequence, and a techno soundtrack blaring in the background the entire time.
Movies such as wargames and sneakers tried, but there is way too much thinking going on for a movie. Matrix was a good movie, but not on that subject. It really came down to a religious western that was much like star wars. (no offense.....I think these are some of the two greatest concepts every created.
To really make these movies good...I think there needs to be a form of media not availble right now, where your mind is linked directly to the story....or read the book. Personally, I would love to see Snow Crash as a movie, but I don't think it is really possible.
I say this first, I still am in high school. The neighborhood that I go to school is predominantly white, middle class. But the school is many races, religions, and personalities. With this many differences, there can't help but be conflicts. I used to be fit the "skate or die! rebel to the end!" attitude perfectly. I then grew to accept many other things, and am now completely different because of it.
