SNOWDEN (2016)
A biography on one of the most well-known individual of modern history in the last decade. With the unthinkable escape after bringing dark secrets of the US government to light, the “Snowden events” shocked the world in 2013.
Not an exceptional biography, yet Snowden (2016) is the most accurate obtained portrait of this character and the truths behind this appalling intelligence scandal. Once again, national security and personal privacy went head-to-head. The director, Oliver Stone, deliver this message through the words of Edward Snowden’s character (portrayed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) in the movie: “I am not a hero. I just want to tell people the truth so they can decide who’s right and who’s wrong.”
HELL OR HIGH WATER (2016)
A film that should have won an Oscar for Best Movie in 2017. Despite numerous nominations for an all-round excellent movie, Hell or High Water received none. Just as what is told in the film, the work itself go by its own way through the end without ever backing down.
In Hell or High Water, Toby Howard (Chris Pine) was the owner of a small farm in Texas, USA. In order to get out of debt, he made plan to rob banks with his brother Tanner Howard (Ben Foster), who was just released from prison. They change their target every time, taking only a small amount from each bank to avoid getting caught.
But that’s not the only thing. Hell or High Water is an exceptional neo-Western, criminal psychology infused movie and a giant question mark to each of us before making a decision – to stop or to continue…
