Snowden (2016). My first Oliver Stone film, and the first I've seen starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, (who did a really great job with the role of Snowden). The film adds a much-needed emotional context to the stoic and disassociated presence of Snowden in Citizenfour. Definitely watch Citizenfour first if you haven't seen either film. The documentary presents the actual interview footage between Snowden and Glenn Greenwald, in which Snowden's unemotional delivery might seem cold or even sociopathic without the context of what caused him to build those walls. The central character in Citizenfour is the story of mass surveillance, as Snowden communicated clearly that he didn't want it to be about him. The 2016 film adds all the personal backstory to frame why he is the way he appears in the documentary.
Good stuff. |
You touched on one of the reasons why I think Oliver Stone is a terrible director: he presents himself as a lighter form of documentarian despite his films being full of overdramatization and pathos. Those tactics helped him dump gasoline on the fire that is the JFK conspiracy umbrella, with half truths put in the film for the sake of suspense being viewed as hard evidence by the public (I've seen people passionate defend facts that originated from the film, like the part where they go to the book depository to test out whether or not someone could fire six shots in that amount of time; for one they absolutely can and two that test never happened).
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is good for a pretty boy actor though. |
