If you are looking to learn something new or hitherto unknown about the events of 2013, when a former CIA and National Security Agency employee Edward Joseph Snowden to journalists from newspapers The Guardian and The Washington Post classified information about the surveillance of the United States government agencies for the information of citizens communications for worldwide, the "Snowden" in store for you tragic disappointment. Contrary to the advertising company, the new film by Oliver Stone (director "Wall Street" and "JFK: Shots in Dallas"), present and possible chief director-patriot of his country, he not turned a thriller and a drama about the relationship between two people - actually Snowden and his girlfriend Lindsey - have passed through fire and water, and have managed despite everything to preserve the pristine love and care about each other.
"Snowden" made an incredibly clever, interesting and politically correct course of horse betting on the complex personality of the title entity. Instead, to understand the intrigues that were lying on the surface of all news reports, when Snowden fled first to Hong Kong, and later in Russia, where he received a three-year residence permit, Stone looks much deeper and looking in the first place not a patriot, a traitor, or spy, and humble, closed, shy man who lived for several years with a clear awareness of their own responsibility, as a citizen and an individual, the whole world is not in the end decided on a desperate act and did a secret revealed.
Of course there is some guile in Stone's statements and the producers of the picture, they do not apply to Snowden as a character with whatever was prejudice and do not expose it neither a hero nor a traitor. Because it is here and pretentious staff and loud statements and general predisposition to Snowden, which is not bad, but on the contrary good. This is not a faceless film, and the film with the soul and passion for the subject under consideration, even if it is not the film that many expected to see.
