When you are watching the movie "Snowden", what are you thinking

The United States really prefers themes based on real events. Compared with Chinese-language films, biopics are indeed a type of film they are good at. Biopics are equivalent to reportage in the literary world. Because of their truth, they have a magical effect that transcends the work itself. Regardless of whether an ordinary director can handle such a sensitive subject matter, he has the courage and ability to dare to shoot such subject matter and can pass the review, which is no longer what ordinary commercial film directors can accomplish. Oliver Stone is such a director who can't be done by a capable person. For the development of taboo themes, this director has shown extraordinary talent and courage. Looking at such an American film that reveals its shortcomings, looking at the country mentioned in the film, "America", as if it was just a fictitious code name, otherwise, how could such a film have a chance to be released to its people? State the process by which an authority made mistakes. I think this is the true meaning of freedom. Even if those in power may not be truly democratic, enlightened, or even negative, the citizens' awareness of fighting for and defending freedom and rights has been rooted in their hearts and has become a common practice. It is like seeds that are deeply planted and germinated in the hearts of citizens. Even when faced with the poison and harvest of those in power, new sprouts will re-emerge after being barren, and there will never be a day when the roots will never be broken. Those in power have no choice. They can choose what kind of seeds they plant.

Snowden made such important national and even international secrets public through the reporters of the British "Guardian". At first, you will be surprised by Snowden's courage. He believed these people so much and overwhelmed himself. And the lives of family members. In the end, we found that the reporter did not disappoint Snowden, did not disappoint the people who were under surveillance, and they really did it—the world’s leading liberal voice. I can't help but sigh that such a journalist who is not afraid of power is really convincing. Talents like this are real journalists. Precisely because of their existence, when Snowden exposed the layout of the surveillance plan of the US authorities, he would not use one person to fight against a country.

Some professions have their own aura and sense of mission, such as doctors, journalists, teachers, lawyers, soldiers, government officials, Olympic champions, and so on. In addition to being the same as ordinary people, they must abide by the most basic laws and ethics, the whole society is full of expectations and a sense of dependence on people engaged in these occupations. Specifically, this expectation is expressed in the fact that doctors should save lives and heal the wounded, journalists should pursue the truth, teachers should be taught without distinction, lawyers should uphold the law and discipline, soldiers should protect their families and the country, government officials should be honest for the people, and Olympic champions should win glory for the country. … Compared with the reporters of the “Guardian” in this film, in recent years, some reporters who only pursue sales and popularity have played with eye-ball economic tricks and used the tricks of turning black and white. Their inferior behavior has made the whole The reporter industry is humiliated, and such people can only be called "pseudo reporters." The disapproval of the paper media is very uproar, saying that the paper media will be hidden under the frenzy of the Internet. But one thing, regardless of whether the paper media will die, it is certain that the profession of journalists will not disappear. They just changed a way of spreading the truth, using public accounts, Twitter, and blogs... the

most touching. The finishing touch appeared at the end of the film. Snowden used video software to broadcast live on the TED platform. The host and the audience communicated with him. His eyes are clear, his face is bright, and his whole person is shining (using soft light). The subtitles confessed that his girlfriend Lindsay also moved to Russia to live with him. At the end of the credits, a lot of real life photos of Snowden and Lindsay were shown. Many netizens sighed that they were better than the two leading actors. Be nice. Yes, they are beautiful, and our desire is to protect such a beautiful person.

    I am really in awe of Snowden, and I am more handsome than Xiao Ji! After reading it, I sealed the camera of the notebook...

    People who are too smart may not be too happy. They always have a way to peel off the blindness in front of them and see the ugliest and bloodiest truth. Snowden can't be considered a hero, but at least he has ripped off an ugly corner for the public! Qualified biopics are stable without any disturbances! The outstanding side and the delicate side of the sensibility are all displayed. 囧 Joseph played normally, and the characters were well-adjusted. Snowden himself was a big surprise when he appeared in person.

Snowden quotes

  • Catfish: In Vegas, looking at Afghanistan. We all knew that it was a kid. Poof. He's gone. But same village, two, three days later. We see the funeral party. We knew it was a kid that they were burying. Moms and dads wailing. And then the order comes down. Hit 'em. Poof. And they are gone in a cloud of dust.

  • Edward Snowden: You ever hear about the Nuremberg trials, Trev? They weren't that long ago. Yeah, well, the big shots were the first trial, but then the next trial were just the judges, and lawyers, and policemen, and guards, and ordinary people just doing their jobs, following orders. That's where we got the Nuremberg principles, which then the UN made into international law, just in case ordinary jobs become criminal again.
