Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for people who love a true story told well. Steeped in the 1980s, from the music to the hair. Liked The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Moves through the story clearly, at 1 hr 30 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
In 1981, Wau Holland and other hackers established the Hamburg based Chaos Computer Club (CCC). The idiosyncratic freethinkers were inspired by Californian technology visionaries and committed themselves to hacker ethics. All information must be free. Use public data, protect private data. But not everyone followed the rules. Computer technology was still in its infancy and the emerging Internet became a projection screen for social utopias. What has become of them? The story of the German hackers, told by the protagonists themselves in a montage of found video and audio material.
