"CitizenFour" Responce
This movie was based on how Edward Snowden wanted to expose the truth about how our privacy is being hacked by top secret organizations. His in his job, since he was in one of the higher positions, he had access to things that other employers did not. He was able to see all the information that the organization was tracking for many many people. Snowden, who showed that he was very well informed on the order or way things where going to go down like, had a plan to help the information be exposed to the public without letting them get to him first. In the past; before Snowden, Daniel Ellsberg had made her own films about signs of corruption that the government doesn't want us to know about for example the situation about Iraq. She was placed on the secret government watch list and watch her every moved. This caused her to move to Berlin because how harassed she was feeling. The journalist Glenn Greenwald becomes part of Snowden story along the way. He helped Snowden get his information get across the public a step at a time. Snowden of course knew the consequences from his actions. So he wanted to be cautious and not let his family involved to what he is doing. So the time when they went out, he left a note saying it is some sort of business trip. Just so his family could be innocent and not effected. Snowden knew the risk that was placed in line. But Snowden seem very aware of everything was gonna be placed. Eventually as his plan was put into action. His wife told him that large machinery was surrounding his block. His wife was clueless but Snowden knew exactly what is going on. The thing is they thought he was home sick bu tin fact he was all the way across the globe in Hong Kong where he is being interviewed at to be safe. Eventually he let be expose him self and things started getting a little hasty. If I was him I would of been paranoid. Many public news broadcast where getting aware of this and was all over the place. In the end he had to go move to Russia and has his family join him with him. When you think about it the things he had to give up. He had a well paying job lived in a fabulous home in Hawaii, his life was really good. But he was one of those brave souls that wanted justice and sacrificed what he had.
