Saw this movie because of a review. To be honest, before Snowden, it was only through news, treason, spies, escape, and so on. Most people, in fact, are people who don't know the truth. Like others said, he betrayed his country, who would dare to use him? Treason has been equated with this name. I used to think so before. forgive me. Then, after watching the film today, I did have another thought. The film critic used Copernicus as a metaphor for him, an arsonist, which is a bit exaggerated, but it is not an exaggeration. In the movie, Snowden said that in the past, the communication between people through the Internet was equal, even if you were a professor and I was a student, each expressing his own opinion. But then, everything changed. What I say, what you say, have to think twice, because everything we say will be monitored! will be seen! will be searched! This is still America! One of the most democratic countries in the world! At this rate, the values they have been defending will be lost. So, he chose to rebel. He said, I will not be disturbed now, because I no longer have to worry about the future. It may be an optimistic judgment, but he has done his best. In fact, I can't even understand why such people really appear. However, he did appear, and he really did it, like a fire thief. As the film critic said, when most of us only concern ourselves with three meals a day, when most of us only gossip about celebrities, there are still people who are concerned with the fate of mankind and tomorrow. Mr. Lu Xun said, this is the backbone of the Chinese people, I said, this is the backbone of mankind. Give up high salary, give up family, give up lover, give up life, just for an ideal. Ask who can do it. Ordinary people like me will only create so-called material conditions for future generations. In fact, does this really matter? ! What are we going to leave for them? I think it should be an idea, a belief, and a goal he can strive for.

The release time in France is just a few days after the general election. The French snickered when watching it. Fortunately, no one chose Trump or Hillary who installed a server in his home.

It's not exciting, the drama is like a documentary, showing the history of Snowden at length, and making the role played by Jon Joseph flat and dull. The love with his girlfriend took up too much space, and the part of the evacuation from the hotel at the end began to improve.

[first lines]
Glenn Greenwald: [sitting under a big green balloon alligator] So?
Laura Poitras: This is the only alligator.
Glenn Greenwald: Four minutes past. We walk in one minute. He was clear on that.
Laura Poitras: He's coming.
Glenn Greenwald: No, he is too young to have that kind of access.
Glenn Greenwald: [to Snowden as he walks up] Uh, what time does the restaurant open?
Edward Snowden: Noon. But the food is a bit too spicy. This way...

Corbin O'Brian: Bombs won't stop terrorism, brains will, and we don't have nearly enough of those. I'm gonna give you a shot, Snowden.
