In order for the plot not to be as boring as a documentary, the director added a love story to the character, which made the movie more colorful and better understand the character's life. It also drags down the development of the characters. The relationship between the two people in the movie is in a very unnatural state. On the one hand, I want to express the simplicity and beauty of love, and on the other hand, I want to express that the relationship between the two people is distorted. In the unspeakable hiddenness that is difficult to tell, this makes love very tangled. The main purpose of the movie is to express the leak of the monitoring project. Obviously, the love scene did not dominate or affect the whole incident. It was Snowden who was handling the whole thing by himself. Love is only a branch of existence. There is hardly any connection between the two. If love gives the support behind the whole incident, laying out the love story will make the movie look more touching, but the love here has almost nothing to do with the incident, so it is impossible to lay out the important position of the heroine. In the process of confessing the secret, Snowden was completely involved. The heroine only knew after the whole incident was disclosed. In the name of protecting the heroine, she named the love as a kind of goodwill. Rather, it was an act of desperation. However, the director forcibly joined such a love story, which dilutes a lot of strong political atmosphere, and also makes the atmosphere of the film less serious and intense. The atmosphere reduces the sense of guilt and oppression in the hearts of the characters, more like a kind of encouragement and a kind of praise.
Snowden's experience is not very legendary, it can be said to be very ordinary, and it can be seen in the movie that he lived an ordinary life. He did not really come into contact with the secrets involved in the upper levels of the government. He was only involved in the development of a project and the improvement of technology. He appeared more as a computer engineer. The secrets he got were only detected data. . In other words, what he revealed is only a small part of the government's conspiracy plan, and what can be reflected is only the tip of the iceberg, but the reflection to people is huge, because it makes personal information no longer safe. Privacy is being arbitrarily snooped on, and the lie that advocates advocating personal freedom and protecting personal privacy is obvious. This makes people feel insecure and doubts about the government's behavior. The question of distrust and disbelief makes people resist the government. If you can't even protect your own privacy, what human rights are there? Word? So in people's minds, Snowden can be called a hero, because he gave us ordinary people a truth, that is, there is no privacy and no freedom. Wantonly infringing on our power in the name of protecting security, this is hegemony, this is robbery. Although we can't change the facts, but to know the truth, at least there is a little bit of mental preparation.
Sadly, after Snowden disclosed the entire surveillance plan, when seeking political asylum, only one or two countries publicly accepted his application, and more countries chose to refuse and escape, which reflects the fact that The essence of each country is the same, and what they do is almost the same. Even after the truth is disclosed, it is only the ordinary people who have been strongly reflected. For the national government, it is already a secret thing. This has to make people feel sad. The heroes we think have actually become the public enemies of the country. After being called the hero by us, we can only live as a traitor and never return to our hometown. Never seeing the faces of my relatives again, I have to say that the price is indeed a bit too high. Heroes are always lonely. It has been like this since ancient times. After every heroic feat, the price in return is a person's exile and loneliness. This is a helpless reality, and it is also something worth sighing. The only thing that can be gratified It is the admiration from the people, and it is also worthy of the desire to pursue the truth in my heart. Snowden, an ordinary person has done a great thing, his name has become synonymous with this era, but also the focus of this era, but his life was a failure, he lost a normal person The power to live, living a life of hiding every day, being under surveillance, and even facing the danger of life in prison, I don't think ordinary people can understand whether it's worth it or not.
