There is no doubt that Snowden is a compassionate warrior.
The film adaptation of a live-action biography is mainly true for the highlight. The purpose is to give people a true representation of history. Based on this, "Snowden" is a pass. But after watching the movie, there is always the feeling that the whole film is flat and straightforward, a little bland.
This is also a common problem that biographical movies are easy to commit.
Let’s talk about this film.
This film takes Snowden’s exposure of the Prism Gate in Hong Kong as the starting point. Through character interviews, dialogues, and memories, the insertive and flashback narration of Snowden’s military, love, and intelligence work is mainly focused on Snowden’s work on the Prism Gate. The life experience and emotional changes before the incident showed what made him determined to expose the cause and the impact and consequences of the exposure. While restoring the incident to people, it created a decisive, introverted, sensitive, and courageous person. The image of Norden and let people in the world realize that real safety and freedom need to be protected.
One, the intrusive flashback narrative with the exposing incident as the starting point. Smooth and natural.
Flashbacks into the narrative based on the interview and dialogue between Snowden and the reporter and his memories, ingeniously connecting Snowden's life, not abrupt and not blunt.
Second, the film’s superb camera technology, the images express the inner feelings of the characters.
Hong Kong hotel, an inexplicable call, Snowden's nervousness
Snowden walked out of the base, determined to expose
Get out of the base.
The second picture used a frontal shot with soft light, which is probably the warmest photo of people in the whole film. Highlight Snowden's joy in leaving this place that watches the world.
The third is the only silhouette shot in the entire film. I think it is to show Snowden's anxiety and uncertainty about the future out of the door.
Third, through Snowden’s monologue and perspective presentation, an in-depth analysis of the hazards of surveillance.
Fourth, the narrative form of news, interviews, documentaries and guest appearances by real people, fully and objectively present events and express thoughts.
Fifth, the film's portrayal of Snowden's character is also objective and true, through his and his girlfriend's life.
One of them is about the quarrel between the two who uploaded the mail. It is very exciting, and it has a small enlargement, which extends the safety of people's lives.
