#DailyPicture# This month, the Archives actually lined up the documentary "The Fourth Citizen" about the 13-year Snowden and "Prism Gate" incident. The film tells the whole story in detail, and restores the most real side of Edward Snowden, who is at the center of the topic, to the public. As a documentary, it is clear and coherent, and it clarifies in detail how the judicial organs and executive organs (Department of Defense) of the United States operate from many aspects; who and the unit need to approve the surveillance plan; how the country uses legal loopholes to become "traitors" "Reaching the charges; what a dire situation faced by people under full surveillance; the horrific consequences behind the abuse of power by the Ministry of Defense. And in the several-day interview with Snowden, he showed us how the huge secret was revealed, displayed, published in the newspapers, and caused panic and heated discussions among the masses, and the whole process of continuous brewing. Sitting behind the "curtain", how did Snowden learn about the world turned upside down by the intelligence he disclosed through TV in a hotel in Hong Kong, and how his mentality changed in the face of the huge threat to the country. Despite the lack of the intense escape plot of a feature film, the seemingly undisciplined act left audiences in awe. After all, this is what happened in real life, not a fictional plot. Director Laura Portas is an extraordinary woman, and this is the third part of her "post-9/11 trilogy", the first two of which are about US-occupied Iraq and bin Laden and terrorism of. She was also one of the central figures in the incident and was secretly surveilled by the United States after filming the Iraqi documentary. Of course...it has to be admitted that aside from expressing concern about the ubiquitous surveillance of information in our lives (not to mention something that everyone can think of), the most attractive thing about this film is the super cute Snowden brother That beautiful face [Yunbei] (inevitably superficial...and after arranging his face in front of the mirror, it can be seen that he cares about his personal image, inexplicably cute) and I don't care if his actions are really out of civic duty The sincerity driven by conscience, or the hype speculated by the outside world. People like to create a "hero" after being rendered and moved by themselves, but I think he is just a "person" who has done amazing things that the world can't do. Hope he can live an ordinary life in Russia. I also hope that all participants in this incident have a better home.
(In addition, in the process of watching, I also think that people who live in the "human society" we live in may not be able to achieve the so-called true freedom in any case. No matter what kind of beautiful political system, it is difficult for people to believe that there is a " Civil society", hypocrisy under the system is inevitable.)
