1 2 3 4 5 6

Snowden

Director: Oliver Stone. With: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Shailene Woodley, Melissa Leo, Tom Wilkinson, Nicolas Cage, Scott Eastwood. German american spiondrama. Age limit 6 years

In the same way as with the two parallel films about Apple’s founder Steve Jobs, has several players gunning for to make the big Snowden-the movie.

According to an impressively long feature article in the New York Times, pulled the Sony project when they heard that Oliver Stone was in progress. It is understandable. Stone is hardly a lot of bother to compete with. He thinks a lot, speaks with there and use big gestures.

3rd-party-bio

as good as anything he has done is all about America’s sins and the excuses, he will enter in the dark, dismantling national myths, and to remind americans that there is much they do not put themselves into when it comes to their own history.

Whining like Carl I. Hagen

Stones glance is often European and the united STATES-wary, at the same time as the language his is uramerikansk, he is attracted by the harsh and obscure, of sharp conflicts, komplotter, the state and the individual, and, not least, of the violence, which he in repeated interviews claim is set forth in the americans ‘ genetic material.

In film after film, argues Oliver Stone as a SV-is, at the same time that he nags like Carl I. Hagen.

the Story of Edward Snowden is perfect for a filmmaker like Stone. It includes our time in condensed form, boiled down to a buljongterning.



Read the review of “Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie’ Funny, but maybe not quite so fabulous

The brilliant individual who starts his professional life as a convinced republican and is introduced in the inner circles, but as then slowly open your eyes and understand what really is going on. For Stone, it must be a kind of drømmescenario.

It is this he has said all along, that the state goes behind the backs of americans, sending them out in senseless wars, have hidden motives and are in cahoots with the creepy powers.

Gordon-Levitt is a good Snowden

the Film says the same as Citizenfour, Laura Poitras Oscarvinnende documentary from 2014, namely that what Snowden did was necessary, important, and correct.

But here, we get in addition the dramatization of Snowdens karrière within the CIA and the NSA, we are on the discoveries of the commanders, his blurs and that the codes he creates, is used for the second, and far worse, things than he was promised.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a good Snowden. And with that his job is subject to a duty of confidentiality, he can’t talk with someone about what is going on in him, thus being the face and mimikken important, and for once manages Stone to be more subtle.

Movie with the nerve

Also, the form unusual withholding and sobert to the Stone to be. It makes the movie to his best in a good while. But the Stone is not as good on people as he is on the big ideas. The interaction between Snowden and her partner (Shailene Woodley) is, for example, blassere than it should be.

in return the film to the nerve, and the failure to depict the relatively complicated overvåkingsaktiviteten.

Stone tries with this film to win terrain for Snowdens case. But he has tough opponents.

Bernie Sanders: Snowden has done America a service

Trump has suggested execution. Hillary Clinton says Snowden should come home and “face the music”. Here at home we are afraid to let him into the country.

And Pravda alternate between writing that Snowden thinks “Life in Russia is great!” and pressing posts that rubs him because he did not express greater gratitude to Putin.

Bernie Sanders says that Snowden has done America a great service. The war of defining power is in progress in other words, for fully.

Fortunately for Snowden has opponents his hardly access at an equally smart director.
