Often described as travelers or wanderers, the individuals provoked when the planet is in its Sagittarius phase between November 22 and December 21 could be the type to jump on a plane and bounce off an adjacent continent in the blink of an eye. . Then again, the urge to travel can take other forms as well: philosophical, spiritual, or maybe even technological – and no teenage movie wanders with technology like the 1995 techno thriller “Hackers”.
It could be argued that most adolescent films approach the ages between 13 and 19 from a predominantly conservative and institutionalized, ritualistic perspective; The characters worry about prom, grades, graduation, who is dating whom and who is a member of which clique. Meanwhile, the list of cyberpunks who go wild in “Hackers” – under pseudonyms like Crash Override (Jonny Lee Miller) and Acid Burn (Angelina Jolie) – live very active lives largely disconnected from their high school education. In this movie, high school is a time consuming inconvenience, not a way of life. (The real way of life, of course, is hacking.)
The plot is hardly realistic, but the kids of the ’90s who forged their own somewhat non-traditional path might find themselves identifying with “Hackers”, even if they never unraveled a global plot of embezzlement of corporate funds and prevented an ecological disaster… or called themselves stupid. as “Cereal Killer” (Matt Lillard).
