Snowden enlisted in the army in 2004 and was later dispatched to the Iraqi battlefield. Unfortunately, he injured his legs during training. Snowden applied to join the CIA after returning home from retirement. After that, he went to work for the National Security Agency, and accidentally discovered that the government implemented a mass surveillance program on citizens' phones and social networks after the "9.11" incident, thus leaking a large number of classified documents. After the incident, Snowden was wanted by the authorities and fled to Hong Kong. Since then, he has fled to Russia several times to seek asylum.

The live-action appearance at the end instantly made the actors lose their strength; Evans's role seemed to have come from Bourne, which was a bit too much; most of the time, the handling was appropriate; Teacher Stone was also seventy years old.

Tributes to 1984 are everywhere, from the fictional boss O'Brien to the giant telescreen. After watching this film of Stone, I feel that Snowden is a delusional/neurotic young man who has dealt with life and love in a mess (see NYT's report and found that Stone is the most neurotic one). Snowden said the system does not correct itself, but whistleblowers are precisely the self-correcting part of a democratic society. Is Nicolas Cage's role a symbol of his acting career?

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.
