What's their program? What operating system are they running?
You probably wouldn't get that joke unless you had every line of this movie memorized. Yes, it's a bit cheesy at times, being as it was made around the late eighties, but Point Break is one of those movies with a deep message. An undercover agent infiltrates a group of bank robbing adrenaline junky surfers. Initially his motivation was to bust them, obviously. But after he gets to know them a bit he realizes that there's beauty in their life, and starts living it firsthand as well; they rejected a corrupt society, technology and the 9 to 5 blue money world, in preference of a life of surfing, skydiving, and partying instead. And who can blame them? There truly is quite a bit of beauty in that. But inevitably problems begin occurring, after all some bird's feathers are too colorful to be caged, as the saying goes, and things go south quite quickly. That's probably all I can say without ruining the movie. One of my favorites, Point Break is definitely worth seeing.
