A good movie underrated by Douban

I don't want to write a long review.

This is a very deep movie. Maybe everyone was disturbed by the shooting skills and the acting skills of the actors. But there is no doubt that, aside from these two points, the philosophical depth and practical significance of this film are very important. Because this is almost the near future.

The film mainly raises two questions: 1. What is privacy and 2. How to use transparency

The film is bold enough, it uses a virtual network company to map the government's peep and use of personal privacy. Also shows the edge of this double-edged sword. Finally, it is just right to remind people that the power sector is the last one who wants to reveal their privacy, and it happens that they are the ones who need openness and transparency the most. The two company leaders in the film symbolize the power center, a country that holds information rights and technology. It uses a beautiful coat to open the technical door of privacy and prying, but it is not so fond of using it on itself. Because at the end of the film, the heroine was overcast, and the executive with the circle said: We are finished.

It is the authorities that need to be monitored and controlled, and the people who are being monitored are the people.

    It's a mediocre work, the screenwriter is not good, and the lines are almost at the level of domestic TV dramas. It's too literal and disappointing. It is a little interesting: Bailey interviewed Mae at the press conference, and the two pieced together Guang Zhengwei who plundered all privacy. This scenario can indeed be brought into reality.

    The subject matter is interesting. It’s hard to say whether the press conferences are satirizing Jobs and Apple. The privacy probe may be alluding to Microsoft, but the way of expression is very mediocre and lacks the “sense of technology” that it should have. The so-called sharing privacy seems to be no different from doing live broadcasts. , can not stimulate the curiosity of the audience at all, all the fear caused by the pervasive peeping needs to be filled by the audience's own brain, the effect of the screen is not shocking enough, how can it arouse deep thinking

The Circle quotes

  • Mae: I should, um, get going, actually - for dinner. But, um, we should make a plan. I'll send you a text.

    Mercer: Or we could do that now since we're both here.

    Mae: What?

    Mercer: Nothing...

  • Eamon Bailey: [pitching their new camera] We will see it all. Because knowing is good. But knowing everything is better.
