Whale swallow. For public safety? A big mistake, should the so-called public safety be exchanged for freedom, equality, and security?

Thinking of the recent Edward Snowden, his experience is a bit similar to this. He was originally a senior employee of the National Security Agency. He exposed the US "Prism" surveillance program.

This movie has a tense plot and an alarming plot. It tells how small and helpless the confrontation between the individual and the organization is. If the male protagonist did not meet Brill, he would be dead. A person who used to be in the organization knows how to fight against the organization. Everyone else just sits and waits. The organization has evolved extremely rapidly. It has high-tech, high-end talents, and rigorous and well-trained soldiers. It can kill members of Congress, cover up traces, and access monitoring facilities everywhere. It doesn't even require any authorization. It's too powerful. So powerful that no one can control it.

At the beginning, it was too embarrassing, I can understand, But still angry. Brill is also a poor man. He lives with cats all day long and lives in isolation, but he has powerful means. Because of his existence, the tragedy does not become a complete tragedy, and justice has a little chance.
