Armed with sharp weapons, kill your heart!

Armed with sharp weapons, kill your heart! This is my first impression after watching it. The prism is a weapon, and the U.S. government has this weapon! Even if the original intention of its research and development is to counter terrorism, when its use is not supervised, the government will unconsciously use it for personal gain, monitoring Chinese people, and violating civil rights in order to achieve the purpose of consolidating rule. Even the US government advertised as democracy and freedom is no exception! So don't trust any promises without oversight, don't trust any propaganda without accountability...

Is Snowden a traitor or a hero? Do we want to be safe or free? What is the difference between security without freedom and animals in a zoo? Prism can be an anti-terrorism weapon or a barrier to freedom. The key depends on whether its users are under the supervision and accountability of the people!

    Watching this film in Hong Kong feels a bit magical. Miramar, which I often go to, is a hiding place for international spies. Looking back, in the future, the Hong Kong government disregarded the pressure from the United States to release Snowden, and it did not vain his choice to seek refuge in Hong Kong first. Hong Kong finally did not disappoint him.

    Snowden finally left the country in person. Freedom and Faith. "A person's greatest freedom is not what to do next, but not to worry about tomorrow and be proud of what you have done today" #The movie watched in a private venue in Taiwan.

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.
