SNOWDEN stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and is written and directed
by Oliver Stone. The script is based on the books The Snowden Files: The Inside
Story of the World's Most Wanted Man by Luke Harding and Time of the Octopus by
Anatoly Kucherena. Written by Open Road Films (Courtesy of Internet Movie Database)
So this past weekend I finally watched SNOWDEN. My feeling
on the film compared to the content in the film seems to be sending my
different direction, but lets start with the film itself. I felt the direction
of the film was dealt with an entertaining and dramatic manner. I mean with Oliver
Stone as director I felt did a great job. My issue with the film is I wished
simply that it were a bit more enthralling visually. This leads me to the
content of the story, which based on true to life events is where I feel I got
lost. Understanding that all these secretive agencies exist was just mind-blowing
and not just that, but a level of scary definitely was involved. So when you
put the real life factoring mixed with a well-developed way to tell this story
I give SNOWDEN 3 stars.
