I like movies that tell stories of genius, such as "Blackjack", "The Pianist at Sea", etc. Some are fictional and some are legends, but Snowden is different. This is a genius who entered the movie from reality. Years ago, it went from being a hit in the major media to a big figure that is gradually forgotten today.
The United States can make such a sensitive film, and it can still be released. I have to say that it is too democratic and too free. I am really curious about what things cannot be said and cannot be filmed in the United States. The entire film recounts Snowden's work experience and the process of Prism Gate in a memoir-like time-interspersed technique. Because it's real, it's shocking; because everyone thinks it might be like that, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with them, so it's habitually numb, but when you know the truth, especially when the film pulls you into reality a little bit, That kind of fear and depression hit your face, you will feel the back of your spine start to get cold, and your mind will start to quickly recall what you said and did, what should not be said and should not be done, and recall those unspeakable secrets. . .
Everyone has a secret, and the reason why a secret becomes a secret is because the people who know it are limited, so it is a special joy to be one of the limited people. What is the difference between living under the surveillance of others every day and living under surveillance?
So the protagonist escaped with all the secrets of everyone, cleverly used the Rubik's cube to take the mini SD card that stored the data and ran to Hong Kong (of course, this paragraph was originally conceived by Snowden himself, and was not really implemented, and in the US intelligence agency In such a high-level secret organization, if you want to insert external storage devices to copy data, it is impossible to think about it.)
The only thing that was a little disappointing was that there were some surprises missing in some bridges. For example, it only took 40 minutes to crack all the questions in the test. Because the Snowden incident is so famous, and I know a little about it, this kind of "superpower" for ordinary people did not bring any surprises in the plot of the movie, but felt it was a matter of course.
In the last paragraph, Snowden himself appeared. In contrast, he felt that the choice of the male protagonist was too good, even more than Snowden himself. Technology does not stay and it is not realistic. This is where the movie is higher than life. It makes real people become perfect, and then go to the altar and become a legend.
