Citizenfour

CitizenfourI used to think the scariest moment in cinematography was the infamous scene in The Exorcist when the girl turns her head around all the way and walks like a deformed crab. Then I witnessed Citizenfour.

I first heard about this documentary film because it featured in the book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die, then I recognised the subject it focused on, including the Children of Mitchell Brook Primary School is Neasden acting it out on Big Fat Quiz of the Year, so I was looking forward to finding out more about the real story. Basically documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras had worked for many years on a film about monitoring programs in the U.

I am Punister Four. I am here to write a review of the Oscar-winning documentary "Citizenfour".

I watched the movie Snowden (2016) and wanted to learn more about the actual events. Surprisingly it wasn't far off and this documentary was still very informative.

Well anticipated movie ever since the documentary maker was a part of the team that assured the NSA information leaked by Edward Snowden made it safe to the public. This movie stresses out the story rather than the person, but it seems hard to differentiate the two in some ways : it's still feels rather like a movie about the history of this information leak about government spying on their people, and the american one spying on everybody and the pressure the journalists received in order to try to keep them quiet rather than one on Ed Snowden, there's is no background story on his childhood, or interviews of his parents for example.

This documentary came out of nowhere to me. It was quite captivating from the beginning.

When reality overpass imagination...

Wow it's hard to overstate the brilliance of Citizenfour. As someone who has held clearances an worked for the DoD, I always felt Snowden was a traitor.
