      "We Steal Secrets": We don't know these

      WikiLeaks is not so much a personal challenge to global politics as it is a utopian story. It is hard to imagine that there are still idealistic people like Julian Assange in this world. In the words of the film: Like John Lennon, he fantasizes about the realization of an ideal world." They think: "If we want to create a more civilized and fair society, this society must be based on the truth." To move forward to an equal world arbitrarily, this WikiLeaks quickly became popular all over the...

      Film Review: "We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks"

      This is not a completely fair documentary, but there are many shocking facts that can be seen.

      My thoughts:

      First: If you want to be a person who can influence the world, first you must be strong enough. Assange was able to invade the core computer system of the Pentagon in the United States before the age of twenty. Without such capabilities, all the stories behind it would be impossible.

      Second: To be a person who can influence the world and insist on justice,...

      Bursting urine for the awakening of all mankind

      There are three things that cannot be hidden forever: the sun, the moon and the truth. --Siddhartha

      If we are to present a 2013 World's Most Attracting Global People's Onlooker Award, then there is no doubt that Comrade Snowden will win it without any suspense. This high-profile leaker who blatantly sang a drama with the US government once again embarrassed some people, and his series of actions can easily remind people of the WikiLeaks storm that swept the world before, and his...

      Unreal documentaries have no value

      This piece is quite long and I don't want to look for bugs again. Tell me what I remember.
      At the end of a few reporters, the former WikiLeaks staff emphasized that “Assange is not the leader, and Manning is the real
      leaker than him.” exm??? Manning is not a genius. Hackers just happened to be exposed to state secrets and brought them out. Can it be leaked to WikiLeaks? ? Then I credulously believed that others caused the matter to be revealed and arrested, ok??
      There is also a...

      They are the catalyst

      This is a film that I cannot comment on in terms of content, because I really don't know who I should stand for.
      The truth is important, but sometimes it is also important to conceal the truth. It's like what Batman said at the end of "The Dark Knight": Sometimes the truth is not good enough, and people's beliefs need to be rewarded.
      Imagine if people were to know the truth about Harvey Dante, people's beliefs would collapse, and the order that was finally built would be destroyed...

      This documentary is indeed highly suspected of being a propoganda of the US government: its biggest problem is to link a cause and an ideal (WikiLeaks) with two individuals, Assange and Manning, trying to reveal (discredit) the dark side of their lives. Indirectly disprove the legitimacy of WikiLeaks. And that's exactly what the U.S. government does in reality. Tragically, intentionally or not, Assange has been defeated by this...

      It's a good material, but it's not speculative, it's purely exposition, and it's not objective enough. The director is a high-end gangster sent by the official. What we need for secrecy is truth and evidence, not bullshit and dirty water, no matter who the secrecy...

    Background creation

    Julian Paul Assange loves to uncover secrets and established the "WikiLeaks" website at the end of 2006, accepting anonymous disclosures, and sending them to WikiLeaks in a way that is not easy to reveal their identity. After the person in charge of the website has done a credibility review, These secrets will be presented on the website in the original unedited state and made public to the world. This is a monument in the history of...
