The office environment, speech stage, and ppt style of the circle company in the film are obviously the future reflection of the contemporary Silicon Valley first-tier technology giants. Although Google claims to "do no evil", and although Apple has chosen a firm confrontational attitude in the face of the FBI's violation of the privacy of users' personal information, there is no guarantee that these technology giants will change their policies and circumstances in the future.
In fact, the issues that can be explored in this film can be more profound and more vivid. However, the film explores too many themes, making it impossible to carry out an in-depth and detailed discussion on a certain theme. In this regard, this film is actually not as good as other similar films that only discuss one theme, which leads to the lack of core themes and viewpoints of the film. Without a strong central idea, the plot is like scattered sand and cannot be effectively connected. . The end is also inexplicable. Did the two circle bosses admit that they were "put together" without any resistance? Of course, it can be said that due to the extreme development of scientific and technological communications at that time, confidential documents were sent to all parts of the world in an instant, and there was no way to restore them, but the result of this was that the revelation was too small, and there was no deeper meaning in it. Make the audience feel that it doesn't matter if the tech giants master privacy in the future, as long as the CEO publishes all personal information. In fact, this film just simplifies a very complex social, political, and economic issue into a confrontation between public privacy data and individual tech giant CEOs. Tech giant CEOs are evil, while others are just simple masses, who care about things. development and outcome were not critically affected. Only the heroine is the savior who discovers the CEO's evil plan and announces it to the public, dissolving the crisis. It's symbolic, symbolic. In reality, the decisions of everyone in the company affect the future development and outcome of things. It's not as simple as in the movie. Even if it is impossible to be as real as reality for the sake of drama, at least two or three characters need to play a certain role, and it is always possible to pave the way for the change of the protagonist's mentality. The current transformation is too blunt and too unnatural.
