I still havent seen the movie, but when I went home to my parents the other night to celebrate my brother's birthday I found the whole family was debating whether WARGAMES was a vehicle for demonstrating the virtues of Marxism. (My brother discovered Marxism 2 years ago and still thinks it is the neatest thing since sliced bread.) Everybody was agreed that it says that "TECHNOLOGY is EVIL"; not that hard a proposition for my family to swallow, all of whom believe that Technology is at best "not-very-good". Both my brother and my mother claimed that "everyone they knew" thought that technology was "more evil" as a result of seeing WARGAMES. My mother, interestingly enough, has also not seen WARGAMES.
