After watching the movie, I sent a WeChat message to KB, who is far away in the United States. He said that in the United States, some people regard Snowden as a hero, and some people regard him as a traitor.
I ask, are you willing to sacrifice personal privacy for national security?
He said, this is a bit difficult, but part of it can be accepted.
I remembered one day a long time ago, someone nervously told me that a certain function in the iPhone should be turned off, otherwise the daily data will be collected. I said lightly at the time, otherwise, in this era, we would have no privacy at all.
Our mobile phones, our internet, our lives are all exposed to this era.
But one day, we finally see, see these technologies and means, as well as the possibility of abuse of power by people who have access to these technologies. Seeing that someone on the other side of the world can activate your computer's camera at any time, someone will use this data to easily bring down a tycoon in order to get a promotion, and shudder.
The more you are controlled, the more you want to be free.
He tried not to let his girlfriend know what he did, because he knew deeply that the more he knew, the more he needed your "loyalty", and this "loyalty" would pay a price.
In the polygraph test after polygraph, Snowden's heart has slowly changed, in the process of constantly interrogating loyalty, in the process of the boss trying to use his privacy in exchange for his loyalty, loyalty has become Such a ridiculous thing.
The movie clips the scenes of Snowden's interview with the special forces and the CIA, interspersed with the same answer: "Liberate the people from oppression."
With his extremely high talent, he rose to the top of the CIA, but he also found that he was far from his original intention. farther and farther.
They said, "Sometimes the more you see, the less you know."
They said, "Sometimes you feel like it's a crime."
I guess they all knew what Snowden was going to do on the last day , but still chose to help him, or ignored him and let him leave with the cube.
I think Snowden just did what they always wanted to do and didn't have the guts to do.
At the end of the film, Snowden himself appears, which is probably the biggest easter egg in the film. Maybe he is controversial, maybe he is not a hero, but this is no longer a black and white world. Maybe people can't stop being monitored in a short time, but being monitored is clearly a great thing.
Finally, a salute to my peers, I have never really been fortunate enough to be a journalist, but I know that there is hardly a big political event without a journalist involved.
They took a huge risk to unravel and trace the truth back to what it was. With a great sense of responsibility, they convey truth to the public. They are the true uncrowned kings.
