There are no absolute things, only eternal "interest" and "love"

Just finished watching. Great documentary. Real footage restores real history. It feels like the director is telling the truth about the whole incident. The perception is entirely up to the viewer. This is also in line with the freedom of speech that has been emphasized in the film.


Let me tell you my opinion. I didn't pay much attention to the whole incident. But it must have been heard. When I saw the male protagonist and the reporter running (or better to hide) to interview in Hong Kong, I felt that the male protagonist was too neurotic -- and a little bit of a middle schooler. Of course being monitored, the event is real. But I always feel that the male protagonist has a bit of personal heroism. He feels that he is doing something very great and meaningful to mankind, and he feels that he is a savior (maybe.. I think there should be many people who think he is a hero). Then he decided to tell the media about the government's "conspiracy", and of course the media would like to hear the news. Especially this kind of "top state secret". Do not ask me why- -. My personal feeling is that foreign media dare to say anything and do anything, as long as they have enough ratings. Earn enough eyeballs. . . Are crooked people really that honest? . I still think it should be more personal. . . And it can also be labeled as "for the benefit of the people". There's nothing wrong with trying this kind of multi-faceted thing, right? admire! Really the people of the crooked country dare to try anything!


Why do I think so--. I am also very strange. Just ask the male protagonist from that reporter. Do you want to reveal your identity. The male protagonist may have been waiting for this moment a long time ago. . . The answer to this question is yes! I would like to. . . I want all the people to know that that person is me. . . I saved them. . . Without me they might not have been listening (watching). . . Of course a normal person would never say that. . So the master said. . I don't want to hide behind my back like a coward! I want to stand up like a man! ! ! So the reporter announced him! After that, the documentary showed some trivial life of the male protagonist! He dresses himself up beautifully and immaculately. . (Is it ready to accept the love of the people.. Returning triumphantly like a hero...)


There are many uncertain factors in the future! Things didn't go as he thought! He has become a national sinner! The government has really not wronged him! The government trusts him! Gave him the country's top secret! what did he do! Leak it! Violating a person's minimum integrity! ! Maybe many people don't think so, and feel that he has done the right thing! He is sacrificing the ego! Bless everyone! That's because you get the benefit. Speaking of eating people, it's soft-mouthed!

Let's talk about monitoring. The cause of the incident was 911, and the state had to conduct surveillance in order to counter terrorism (the government said so). I can't help but think of the sentence "I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go". Sometimes it makes sense to think about it. Maybe that "one" may cause more than "a thousand" losses. The government is not so cruel, just like a parent who strictly monitors their children and does not want their children to be harmed. Children must be arrogant! How can you do this! I also have privacy, okay? If you see 100g of seeds in my computer! How embarrassed I am! How can I be human! I will never speak ill of you again! You are always under control! There is no freedom of speech! Then the fact is that no matter how we talk ill of our parents, have our parents really beat us? Let me give an example. Your parents tell you where the money is hidden at home, and then you tell your friends the secret. The little friend got the money and thought you were a good person. Your parents must have educated you! ! The protagonist is much more serious! Treason!


Talk about the last. At first, you didn't say righteously that you shouldn't be a tortoise! Are you going to stand up bravely? How did you end up going to another country? Is there really any principle to be unprofessional? It's a shame not to act in a movie! Journalists are also very hardworking! In order to allow other countries to take them in, all kinds of people say that their own country's surveillance plan will cause your country how much harm! We did this to help you, you take us in!


Last last! Must say last! Her girlfriend is really nice! Must like! He betrayed not to mention the family, the whole country! country! She still hasn't betrayed him! Choose to be with him! Why? He has nothing left! Maybe this is love. Only love should have no stake in it! Maybe she already has the mentality of "marry a chicken, follow a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog"! Not for anything else! Whoever tm calls the male lead is still a little so handsome--.

The feeling is that the male protagonist himself is too middle school--do it again. . Betrayed everything - and finally made himself flee to a foreign land. . . Some people may think that I'm talking nasty things here -- and I'm getting down on the ground. Actually, I really don't think there's anything wrong with being watched. We are just ordinary people. Where does such a great presence come from. Or are you a corrupt official, afraid that your illegal activities will be exposed (there are still too many unknown things). . Or are you really some kind of terrorist. . Want to do something earth-shattering and don't want to be known?
It's like you didn't grow up under your parents' watch (say it would be better to take care of it) -. -
