Anyone else seen Snowden movie?

(1/1)

Wilbur:
I had resisted seeing this for a long time but watched it last night. Overall pretty decent. Obviously Oliver Stone puts his "spin" on it, but I learned a fair amount about Snowden himself which i didn't know. I did read a bunch of "fact check" stuff after which it clarified some of Stone's slanting.

But what I found really enlightening/disturbing  (which we knew but this brought it home really powerfully now but I'm sure this wasn't Stone's intention) was all the clips they inserted showing Obama claiming to be for openness and transparency. Then his claims to shut down the spying after the Snowden info came out. Of course we know that was utter BS and he used it all to spy on the Trump campaign. So it was disturbing from that perspective and I again came away thinking thank God Trump won the election or we never would have known the extent of their deceit. Anyway, curious what your guys take is on this if you've seen it. If you haven't I think it's worth a look.
