I can't write it seriously, but I can still spit it out. The director who filmed the vampire was obviously sucked too much blood and lacked oxygen supply to the brain. A story that is deeper, more thrilling, grander, and more beautiful than the social network, was made into a 90-minute presentation by BC. Can't be on TED? Won't you put on the tubing? Can Zagerberg match Assange's face? No wonder the world unanimously agrees to give bad reviews.
Having said that, I can't blame the director's lack of brain power. WikiLeaks itself is an innovative deconstruction of the existing international politics. It is a vivid manifestation of the change in production relations driven by the progress of productivity. No one in the world has written a textbook. After all, people who do practical work have no time to be organized, so the director can only come up with a love (?) story in which basic friends turn against each other by relying on his IQ in dealing with orcs.
A little common sense. In the past, the power of life and death belonged to the emperor, needless to say. Later, the three-level meeting, the great revolution, and the era of democracy were still in the dark. Then came the fourth power, the news media, such as the Watergate Incident, and so on. Medicine, so the world is at peace for a while. Power becomes bad, so Assange handed over power to all individuals, which is the "oil" mentioned at the end of the film. Countless individuals who form a system of checks and balances with other power holders through the network constitute the fifth power. The Internet, or more precisely, the Internet tools such as WikiLeaks that help individuals communicate with each other and evade the pursuit and persecution of the rulers are just tools for returning the crown of power to the people. As Eileen Chang said: a desolate gesture.
Therefore, Assange believes that he is only a channel, and he will not change the documents submitted by others. He has given up his power and left the decision-making power of whether to harm innocent people to the submitter. And Daniel also feels that he is still a mentor to the people and has a responsibility to protect them. He has to revise and adjudicate documents submitted by others. Assange saw the rise of the Fifth Power in the future, while Daniel was still stuck in the glory of the Fourth Power in the past. With such a simple argument, the director couldn't let the two sides make it clear, and finally ended by blaming Assange for being a liar. This is a completely different matter - Assange brushes his white hair in front of good oil to brush his sense of presence, that is a matter of two people, and cannot be used as evidence for whether his views are correct or not, director.
Pfft, forget about it. 5 points for the actor's screenwriting of the scene music, 1 point for the confused director, 1 point for the male second's love scene (what qualifications for the male second to go to bed scenes?), plus one point for the title of the film. Such four stars, it's a pity for BC's efforts.
