K-M recommended this after a comment i made about what one might over hear people talking about on Stevens Creek trail. The trail runs past tech companies out in the Shoreline area, Google and Microsoft are among the big names, and plenty of start-ups have offices out that way, too.

The movie isn’t much about corporate espionage, but much more about privacy, information, and morality. It’s still relevant; a remake with current technology could be fascinating or simply ruin how the film is stripped down to raw theme.

With Harrison Ford and Robert Duvall, an IMDB comparison to the cast and crew of Apocalypse Now was entertaining. Christine notes that Harrison Ford’s act of turning on the tape recorder in that film creates and interesting echo of The Conversation.
