The "Snowden incident" shocked the world in 13 years. It is not only exposing the state's violation of individual rights, but actually a provocation of the state by the individual, at least I think it is. When it's a double union, and it's America that's in trouble, the fun is great.
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.

    Lots of magic cubes.

    There is a lot of overlap with citizenfour, but the breaking point of this incident is basically known. I feel that the filming is not as good as a documentary. As a film, it should explore Snowden's position psychology and political criticism more. The actual trend of the incident is already there.

Snowden quotes

  • Edward Snowden: So, you're, um, an engineer?

    Hank Forrester: Am I an engineer? Instructor and counselor, too. I'm supposed to keep an eye on you CTs, make sure you don't buckle under the pressure. Turn to drugs and booze.

    Edward Snowden: Well, you won't have that problem with me. I don't drink or do drugs.

    Hank Forrester: What is your sin of choice?

    Edward Snowden: Uh, computers.

    Hank Forrester: Well, then, Snowden, you've come to the right little whorehouse.

  • Corbin O'Brian: [to Snowden] In 20 years, Iraq will be a hellhole nobody cares about. Terrorism's a short-term threat. The real threats will come from China, Russia, Iran. and they'll come as SQL injections and malware. Without minds like yours, this country will be torn apart in cyberspace.
