Fourth Citizen

I watched this movie for the title of Oscar and the protagonist of the male god level. Let me say superficially, Edward Snowden used his appearance to prop up a documentary! The first thing that catches the eye is his little tiger teeth, which are symmetrical on both sides and complement each other. Then there is the unhurried, calm composure under the focus of the camera, except for the brief adaptation at the beginning. Followed by his "magic power headgear" to prevent peeping, he is completely a cute big boy. Some inadvertent little details also add a lot to his image, such as wiping his hair and shaving his beard. It is said that Jon Joseph is going to appear in the movie "Snowden" with the same theme.
The above key points are wrong, we push it back. Edward Snowden used to be a CIA technical analyst and then worked for Booz Allen Hamilton, a defense project contractor. In short, he was an intelligence-gathering programmer. He disclosed the government's conspiracy to monitor all residents of the United States and other countries in the name of national security, and claimed that if privacy is not guaranteed, democracy will not survive. I admire his dedication, and he asked for his identity to be released instead of being protected as an informant, even if he ended up being a prisoner. He emphasized that the center of reporting must be focused on the event itself rather than himself, and the focus should not be blurred. He handed over the degree of publication of information to reporters to weigh, because he did not want to mix personal subjective biases and pursued fairness and justice. His starting point is based on the people's right to know, but it is obvious that the exposure of his identity will make it difficult for him. After a period of time in Hong Kong, Snowden fled to Moscow and applied for a year of political asylum in Russia, while the U.S. government's pursuit of his arrest continues.
Undoubtedly, I am a supporter of ES, and I am deeply shocked by this terrifying network around the world. The way of monitoring involves nine international network giants including Microsoft, Google, Apple, Yahoo, etc., which means that the mobile phones of leaders of various countries are constantly being monitored. This is no longer just a personal grudge between the US government and people. It has seriously endangered the security of other countries and threatened the fundamental interests of the nation. There is a huge database of everything, all the information about you is aggregated together, and you can also infer your personality, hobbies, and social circles. You can't help but sigh whether the information age has benefited mankind, or made human privacy transparent? In addition to that, I have a small discovery, the Guardian reporter Glenn Greenwald who helped ES is gay, and it is his partner who is detained at the airport in the film.
Following the Watergate incident in "Forrest Gump", I made up for the Prismgate incident. In fact, American democracy is nothing more than that.

    Fortunately, I paid attention to the whole incident at the beginning and had the background as a foreshadowing, so although the subtitles were shit, I basically knew what was said. This is a premeditated and ambitious documentary. It is definitely more intuitive, more comprehensive, more three-dimensional, and more shocking than the original written report. For the first time in Hong Kong, people felt that the original documentary can also be thrilling.

    7.5 It's not just Big Brother watching you from behind, but an invisible chaos from the abyss. The countless tentacles stretched out are always ready to devour you; the history of mankind is a history of political degeneration. The so-called American emperors The hat of the beacon of freedom is only relative to your country on the other side of the ocean. In fact, everyone is half a pound.
