There have been very few movies in the last two years, and there are very few that can be compared. But I stumbled upon this movie, and I thought that my knowledge of Snowden was limited to the crazy rumors of everyone a few years ago, but what kind of person is he - a traitor? Or a big hero? I know nothing. But watching this movie quietly, my heart is uneasy. If I had the ability to encounter such a situation, what would I choose? Go with the flow or stand up bravely like Snowden. The film does not introduce the impact of his standing up on his family, only the impact on his girlfriend. But luckily they live in America. What if in China? What will be his end?
In the book "Hackers and Painters" recommended by colleagues recently, there is such a passage, which roughly means that hackers must always question and observe the popularity from a distance in order to truly understand its essence and not be immersed in it. But how many of us can do it in real life? We stand in the middle of the crowd and think that we are part of the fashion, but we don’t know that our hearts have been deceived. Just like Snowden, if he is like us, then he must be willing to spend his whole life in a research institute in the United States and dedicate his technology to the stability of the country, the peace of the world, and to be part of the crowd. , until one day he died and was pursued by the state. But his greatness lies in his ability to look beyond the country, to stand higher and farther, to question fashion, to question what he does.
