“Not so long ago, I already watched 'Citizenfour' and I thought it would be pretty neat to see also this dramatized version directed by Oliver Stone. By the way, isn't it a little bit crazy that all these events took place only a couple of years ago and, yet, they have already released 2 major movies about the subject?

My Movie Diary 2017 (217 movies items)" 21 January. Hero or traitor? Oliver Stone's biopic of whistle blower Ed Snowden doesn't aggrandize his life...much, since it would take a lot to make it a thrilling escapist movie. Its a see-it-as-it is portrait with a bit of a cry for pardon. Some of the follow-up questions should be: Is he relevant to what's really going on in the world? Did they really stop the NSA? Joseph Gordon-Levitt did a nice job."

In the end though it just ended up being a good but average movie but it have been so much more. "
