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.

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.
