"Modern technology allows power to penetrate and penetrate everywhere"

As soon as I heard the title of this film, I knew it was a blockbuster. First of all, there is "the whole people", right, the people involved must be very broad. Furthermore, there is the word "public enemy" to increase the tension and make people imagine.

Some movie names are very attractive, but the quality of the movie may not be up to standard.

Fortunately, this is indeed a good film, and it can be said that it is a very cautionary film. The development of modern technology makes it more difficult to protect people's privacy rights. In the age of big tech, we also basically have no privacy at all. Like the stripped Smith in the movie, aren't we also stripped lambs? Not only was the privacy unobstructed, but it was unarmed and unable to fight back.

That's why we talk about privacy so often today. Because of our frequent use of various electronic devices, we are transmitting data all the time, which makes us transparent. Big data will record the information that we browse products online, open web pages, make phone calls... Once it is used, the consequences will be disastrous. Let's take a simple example, imagine that you record your day with your mobile phone, and maybe on a certain day you don't expect, the private affairs you write will be known to all. You might think it's so absurd, but in the movies that's the sanction. Smith poses a threat to the NSA's John Watt, and all privacy is violated. And John Walter ordered his men to use his personal privacy to control him.

Smith, as the protagonist, is not a typical hero, but a more ordinary good citizen who lives by the rules. This character setting will make the viewers have a more sense of substitution and a sense of crisis. But this also restricts the protagonist from discovering the fact that he is being monitored, so that he only removes all the monitoring equipment on his body with the help of Hackman (an underground intelligence officer).

This setting is not a classic setting. But in fact, it also reflects a feature of most films. The protagonist has the divine skill of adding friends to help at critical moments.

Maintaining a sense of tension is what this movie excels at. In the second half of the film, Smith continues to run, a bit like the way a road movie is shot. Until he was aided by Hackman and the videotape was burned, the film was in a very emotional atmosphere. As a good citizen, the protagonist makes a huge contrast in the behavior of shooting others, which is also a very interesting part.

We have to admit that modern technology has brought us great convenience, but it has also brought us potential threats. I heard that this is the first film involving the privacy of citizens. If it is a warning, it can be described as "like thunder."
