The film tells the story of Mae, an employee of an Internet company played by Emma Watson, from his resistance to social networks when he first joined the company, to his change of attitude when he was rescued by social networks in an accidental distress, and to the accidental death of a friend who grew up with the trouble of live streaming. The Blow, explores the issue of a social network and personal privacy. The rhythm of the first half of the film is well grasped, but the second half is a little out of focus and the plot is a little loose, especially the ending is abrupt, as if a story ends halfway through. Although Emma Watson is still beautiful, her acting skills are still immature in front of Oscar winner Tom Hanks.
It should be said that the ambition of the film is not small, and the focus is also on the issue of how to define personal privacy rights or whether individuals should have the right to privacy when social networks are so developed. Of course, any technology is a double-edged sword. While it brings convenience to people in some aspects, it may also cause hidden dangers in other aspects. Moreover, if a society is absolutely safe, rational and predictable, what fun is there? If Mae in the film really supports the privacy-free society brought about by new technology, then the company boss played by Tom Hanks is just using technology for greater benefits until Mae is finally defeated. So again, we should be especially wary of those who claim to be doing good deeds in a high profile.
