I completely agree. I actually thought it was extremely cool even when it was released, but I was 12.

While a wholly inaccurate portrayal of hacking or even computing, it did contribute to my fascination with both.

For all the factual inaccuracies in this movie - which was like 99% of it - I think they have done an amazing job relaying the spirit of the manifesto - the general notion that hacking, as a culture, is really about challenging yourself and satisfying your curiosity.
