A good movie underrated by Douban

I don't want to write a long review.

This is a very deep movie. Maybe everyone was disturbed by the shooting skills and the acting skills of the actors. But there is no doubt that, aside from these two points, the philosophical depth and practical significance of this film are very important. Because this is almost the near future.

The film mainly raises two questions: 1. What is privacy and 2. How to use transparency

The film is bold enough, it uses a virtual network company to map the government's peep and use of personal privacy. Also shows the edge of this double-edged sword. Finally, it is just right to remind people that the power sector is the last one who wants to reveal their privacy, and it happens that they are the ones who need openness and transparency the most. The two company leaders in the film symbolize the power center, a country that holds information rights and technology. It uses a beautiful coat to open the technical door of privacy and prying, but it is not so fond of using it on itself. Because at the end of the film, the heroine was overcast, and the executive with the circle said: We are finished.

It is the authorities that need to be monitored and controlled, and the people who are being monitored are the people.
