The advantage of "The Circle" is that it has built a compelling world and created some interesting characters. But it still can't save the inconsistency of the tone of the front and back, and the criticism that the story is too thin. This is a typical example of an interesting concept but a messy storytelling. The story of the film unfolds based on a convincing background, the core of which is some reasonable and interesting reflections on social networks and privacy issues in the 21st century. Unfortunately, the film’s explanation of this issue failed because the characters’ motivations in the film were terrible, and they became more and more absurd as the story progressed. Of course, the performance of the film also has some merits. The most notable of these is Tom Hanks, who seems to be sociable and actually a little uneasy, just like Bailey. At the same time, Bill Paxton brought warm humanity to the film.
This is a cautionary tale about the era of social media persecution and sharing of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The value of The Circle is not only because it shows the audience the potential dangers in the world, but also because it clarifies that this danger will continue.
