The Citizenfour

--Originally published at Monty Python and the Blogging Tale

So I just saw the movie Snowden (2016) and it was pretty entertaining. I mean, it was good, but not great. And the reason it was not as good as I thought it would be was that it does not really have a lot new to offer compared to the original documentary Citizenfour (2014), the are basically the same story, but with different format. So if you have watched one of them, you will not enjoy the other one as much.

But the story of Snowden is pretty interesting, and it really shows how easy it is to be spied on; and how one should not trust the internet. Also is battle of morals, I mean, what Snowden did was the ethical thing to do, but there are other points about how morally incorrect he was. Discussing about whether what Snowden did was correct or not is still a pretty divisive topic.

So give the movie, or the documentary ,or both a shot, it will be worth your time.
