Our Eyes, Their WebSight.

Rating: 7/10 (27 May 2018)

The problem is this; If you just make it publicly known that; "Your information is being surveilled", without really digging deep into the ramifications of such an invasion, the public won't care, much like the more recent Facebook scandal. What I'm trying to say is, news feel like just news, not reality. News feel like that 30 minutes with adverts in between, like a TV show.
"Verizon is hacking into all your phone calls" is interpreted by the public as; "Sure, but not my phone calls". I mean here we are, "reviewing" on IMDb without a care as to what is being tapped into.
Films like Snowden and The Big Short, and and and, are important and more than just movies. Their topics are difficult to articulate perhaps, but, they transcend entertainment.
As a film however, Snowden was sluggish at points, but I do feel it did put in a concerted effort to simplify as best as it could, the applications and repercussions of the missions and actions in play.
This movie also kept unveiling some pretty serious star power I didn't know it had, and of that star presence, Zachary Quinto was the most quintessential.
Some aspects in Snowden were hard to follow; "All this effing intelligence jargon is hurting our brains". That line was so appropriate, true (Hell, it even gave Ed himself a seizure, and they called it "epilepsy") and incredibly funny, that it showed me that Snowden was self aware, however, amidst all that jargon, I understood one thing as it was mentioned; Going to Hawaii was OBVIOUSLY a TERRIBLE idea, if the aim was for Ed to have, "less stress"!!!
Like I said, Snowden is one of those movies that, expose a truth that never really dies, no matter how much it's said that it has, and that is significant. And, in this movie, that story is illustrated quite efficiently, though a bit slow at times. 7/10.
