    The defector has said that he can destroy both sides: Russia or the WADA World Anti-Drug Association. Therefore, we have seen the US government and the FBI protect him and use it to destroy Russia and Putin. Well, such a documentary with as many as 4 screenwriters and an obvious public opinion-oriented documentary, with the support of the US government and the FBI behind it... Oscar Sundance can win the award, you are ruthless. I just want to say, Olympic games, can we not talk about...

    In the world of lies, telling the truth has become a revolution, and revolutionary Gregory has become the Snowden in the history of sports. The documentary started with amateur bicycle director Brian, who wanted to provoke the drug inspection agency by his own destiny, and unexpectedly developed to let the Moscow contact person replace him as the protagonist of the big event. The dramatic change was so strong that it made people forget the original intention of the film and forgot that Brian...

    2.5 After the major case was brought out, I felt chaotic not only because the protagonist was led by politics and the director was led by the protagonist, but also probably because Rodchenkov was always in a state of fishing and being fished, and sporadic information was constantly released. It should look good if you sort it out later. The role of the United States is really delicate. It can not only produce Snowden, but also allow Snowden's lawyers to defend Rodchenkov on the same stage. This...

    Seizing the opportunity is the magic weapon for this film to win. The first half of the film seems a bit redundant. Structurally, the variation in the second half does not fit the subtitle, but it does reveal an amazing fact. Drug addiction and political manipulation are just That time in Russia was too fierce. The interaction between the director and the Russian experts seems to be less sincere when the facts are...

    The metaphor of Icarus, here is a shortcut to "higher, faster and stronger", and approaching the sun, the wax wings will eventually melt... From the beginning of the director to test medicine, Russia's national medicine, to Questioning the system, and even pointing directly at higher-level characters, forms a wonderful intertext between "1984" and reality. As a fan, when I saw the director of the laboratory involved in the doping system say to the camera: Be careful what you are recording, this...

    The original American experiment of individual heroism turned into a shocking conspiracy in an instant, which is so exciting, and a film with unique meaning like the Oscars is deserved. It feels like going back to the IFC Hall 1 where Citizen Four was watched. Grigory is indeed ambiguous, and living in a high-pressure ideological environment for a long time will drive people crazy (wrong... reading such a story, I feel that academia should really be aimed at the public, anyway, it can't beat...

    Another investigative documentary that stabbed Malaysia's honeycomb, similar to "The Fourth Citizen", the two slapped Russia and the United States respectively, and the two whistleblowers were sheltered by the other government. The most fierce or brave thing about the film is that the director himself "tested the law", regularly took banned drugs and successfully passed the drug test. Unfortunately, his competitive performance did not rise but fell. At a deeper level, the film questioned the...

    Be sure that Granny Varda lost to politics. However, politics is also one of the directions of the documentary, and this film also throws a "truth bomb", which is very courageous and responsible. The national scandal in Russia is shocking enough, but I am convinced that it is by no means an isolated case. Russian sports have not reached the level of unparalleled success, and the contest of sports is sometimes a contest of politics and technology. Complying with the rules and the Olympic spirit...

Icarus quotes

  • Grigory Rodchenkov: Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involves the use of doublethink. I was doing in parallel two things which cancelled out each other and being fully contradictory. Doping and anti-doping.
