      desperate country

      First recommend a movie "Headhunting Game"

      When the country wants you to die, what capital do you have to resist. But inexplicably like Brill. Knows both blasting and eavesdropping. But when the state really wants to spy on you, we don't have our own Brill at all. We are all just lambs to be slaughtered.

      so-called freedom

      The foreign teacher was in a bad mood in the oral English class the day before yesterday. He kept saying that the Chinese news was not transparent. China always likes to attribute the problem to others. The public security in Harbin is not good.

      These foreigners couldn't get along anymore and went to Harbin. They were able to teach oral English honestly, and they often talked about what was wrong with China. Because I was tired that day, and I was too lazy to talk to him. He actually...

      It's my fault to compare you guys together.

      Public enemy of the state, I'm sorry I just watched The Bourneage, so I can't help comparing you guys together.

      1.
      The Public Enemy of the State is a movie from 1998. The old movie from ten years ago should actually be more tolerant to you. Besides, I still love Smith's main character.
      In addition, I also know that although the title of Public Enemy of the State is big, the protagonist is a rookie except for American law.
      Unlike the protagonist of Bournement, who is a...

      Technology ends the individual

      Thousands of faces will eventually become one face. After watching the movie, we can boldly imagine that there will be a day when everything in the world, including human thoughts, activities, psychology, and even a whim, will become transparent. Of course, there may always be a force that restricts us, such as the government.
            According to relevant statistics, in the currently known world, there are a total of 9 science fictions that came true in some science fiction novels dozens or...

      You can not have it both ways

      The movie is actually good, the rhythm is well grasped, and Will Smith's acting skills are beyond doubt. However, the section that rotates the screen by 75° is too ridiculous. The facial recognition technology is said to have only been available in recent years, and it is not perfect. It is a little sci-fi. Other surveillance technologies now look a bit outdated.
      The theme of the film is: What can the government prevent crime without violating personal privacy? It is impossible to have...

      This is the first movie of will smith that I have come into contact with. When I watched it, I felt that if I became the public enemy of the whole people, under such strict monitoring, I would definitely die. ....

      The tension created by "Enemies of the State" can hold viewers' breaths, it's entertaining, and the discussion about the relationship between personal privacy and public safety makes the film meaningful. Director Tony Scott has a good command of crime thrillers. "Enemy of the State" looks very calm and very exciting, and the movie has a very strong vitality, which is rare for a relatively pure entertainment...

    Movie plot

    "The Enemy of the People" talks about the country's infringement of personal privacy. It is a subject that everyone cares about. With the help of the powerful director Tony Scott, the film is naturally good-looking and outstanding. This film is a high-cost action blockbuster, and all the stories seem to exist only to show the explosion and chase scenes that are extremely exciting.
