In the "Snowden incident" has its shock, not the United States monitoring the world. Instead, someone leaked it, and it was an employee of it. There have been many disclosures about government surveillance and other incidents before, but this time there is so much evidence.
This movie is uncomfortable and satisfying. It is not worthy of the global sensation that year.
First of all, the depth, the best film "Focus" at the 2016 American Oscar, as a news social category, is also based on real events, and its depth is shocking. Around everyone has some rumors, but do not know the details of the "Boston priest sexual abuse of children case" started. From the perspectives of social concern, belief, reporter conduct, life value, etc., its strength is unmatched by this film. The same "Snowden Time" adapted from real events can be deeply digged into the core in terms of social attention, discussion level, legal concept, etc. This film just wants to tell the story of Snowden himself, and it has not been told yet. Really disappointing.
After the 2008 financial crisis in the United States, there was a documentary about "Steal Yourself". It directly depicts the thoughts of those who controlled the rudder during the financial crisis by interviewing financial leaders, senior government officials, and scholars during the financial crisis. People also want to know what happened at the time.
"Snowden Incident" is a good subject, this time is not very fluent, can come again next time.
Ps: Why in a biography-like way? Really didn't shoot well.
