I loved that movie for the extremely, for me, touching ending, where the kids teach the computer the futility of wargames, and it says "Strange game; the only way to win is not to play." As a child of the Cold War, that recognition still brings tears to my eyes.
No; I think the ending still holds. It's not only the computer, but all the people watching who begin to understand. And I wish there were members of my own species who had learned game theory as well as Joshua.
I'm amazed that you remember those bits of technology you do! You remember dot matrix printers and green-and-white perforated printer paper? You have a great memory
I remember the printer paper vividly, and the noise the print head made as it screeked across each line. My father was a mad scientist. There were bits of technology all over the house.
