War Games

War Games is a movie that I really wanted to see but did not have the time to sit down and see it, or I really just forgot about it existence, but that does not mean I was not interested. Now that I had the opportunity to see it, I really like a lot, mostly for the references to videogames or more likely to games in general, because as the movie had a real focus that was “peace”, more with his final lesson that the only way to win a war is by not doing anything, and that means to really not start a war at all, because that can translate to mostly any game, like in chess or checkers, the “perfect game” of that games is a tie to my understanding, and then you can think that what is the point of playing that kind of games.

Well in reality, for that to happen the two players need to be with the equal skill level but we all know that is rarity for that to happen, so the games can be really interesting to watch if you like that kind of games of strategy.

In the aspect of the narrative of the movie, I really like all the concept, and I can get away that a kid could hack the government in that year, but I thought it was too drastic of them to try to put him in jail with hardly any proof of him being a spy, or maybe that’s my ignorance on how that stuff works, but yeah, overall like I said I really liked the movie and I wished that I have seen it earlier to understand all the references made in the book of Ready Player One, and also  other references made in various programs that I watch, because after seen it I can see why is a culture movie in regards of the geek culture.
