Snowden thanks you for the civilization you brought to the world

A film brought my memory back to three years ago. I remember at the time, the impression of the whole incident was that a CIA staff member found out that the US government was wanton surveillance of every civilian in the world, brought out a large amount of intelligence disclosure due to serious dissatisfaction with this, and went to Russia by accident. Revisiting the whole incident, when a genius who can earn a ton of money, faced with threats to the public's human rights, equality, and freedom, he stepped forward and made his own choice. Let me ask, if it were us, what choice would we make? At the end of the film, when the real Snowden appears in front of him, he is still thin, but his eyes are firm and his heart is calm. In fact, it's hard to really feel the complicated mood when he sees another bomb blowing up a village for their "credit", but as a person, when everything is being monitored, monitored, When being monitored, it is tantamount to being naked in the world; what's more, losing life due to infinite association. From this point of view, he has taken a brave and difficult step in the historical process of saving human civilization. The progress of society requires every doer with conscience, courage, wisdom and determination like Snowden. Don't wait for future generations to comment, but just tell you now: You did what you should do. Well done.

    71/100 This film has been facing the situation of no one in the United States for a long time, but it is finally released on a large scale in China. Its significance is to give the weaker an opportunity to justify, so that it will not be completely swallowed up by the powerful party. From the perspective of the movie itself, from the director to the actor, either overstretched or absent-minded, and the production hastily, right should have unspeakable difficulties.

    It was originally a topical movie, but the filming was unsatisfactory and mediocre. The film should have focused on Snowden's ambivalence in the face of his own moral and national allegiance choices, but focused too much on his love conflict, which did nothing to advance the plot. In addition, the atmosphere of nervousness and fear during the period from the disclosure of the Prism scandal to the time when he went to Russia is very poor. The most important thing is that Jon Joseph's acting is very mediocre.

Snowden quotes

  • Edward Snowden: So, you're, um, an engineer?

    Hank Forrester: Am I an engineer? Instructor and counselor, too. I'm supposed to keep an eye on you CTs, make sure you don't buckle under the pressure. Turn to drugs and booze.

    Edward Snowden: Well, you won't have that problem with me. I don't drink or do drugs.

    Hank Forrester: What is your sin of choice?

    Edward Snowden: Uh, computers.

    Hank Forrester: Well, then, Snowden, you've come to the right little whorehouse.

  • Corbin O'Brian: [to Snowden] In 20 years, Iraq will be a hellhole nobody cares about. Terrorism's a short-term threat. The real threats will come from China, Russia, Iran. and they'll come as SQL injections and malware. Without minds like yours, this country will be torn apart in cyberspace.
