On the screens of Russian cinemas started the film “Snowden” directed by Oliver stone, which was based on the story of a real person – a former agent of the American National Security Agency (NSA) Edward Snowden. It is known that a few years ago decided to take played the politics of his country, in violation of both its own and international laws – he made public secret documents exposing the world community one of the most important secrets of the United States. In the material we have collected reviews of Russian critics about the painting, which probably also will go down in history.
“Snowden,” Oliver stone: what critics say Russian
Anton Dolin: “the Film spoils the evidence of the conflict”Casting in the film is laid out. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, even on Snowden and not similar, and charisma and modesty plays perfectly. Love the theme and the conflict of duty with honor written classically. Well, the cage will not spoil. What are his spoils? Perhaps, the obviousness of conflict and its resolution from the very beginning. And yet – ideological mood of the Director to expose the American government, which for him for some time beyond the actual cinematic task.

Sergei Sychev: “”Snowden”, mostly journalistic work”Is primarily a journalistic work, it is important to show a perfect example of a man who reached great heights, could climb even higher, but for the sake of high ideals, for the sake of that freedom in the American sense of the word, to sacrifice everything and commit an act that stunned the world. Although not changed, of course. “Snowden” – the story of the righteous that live on American soil, and the whole world including alive too. Therefore it is necessary that the viewer who has not yet penetrated this thought, still would have done it, would remember the name Snowden would have told their children about him. This task is accomplished.”

Stanislav Zelva: “Career path Snowden — poorly made cuts of Hollywood spy movies”Episode in the army (screaming Sergeant), an episode in the training center of the CIA (Snowden 40 minutes solves the problem, which takes five hours) and so on. The trip to Geneva was a ludicrous parody of the TV series “homeland”: the inhuman vile agent (Timothy Olyphant) for some reason sends it workers to recruit and blackmail the middle East bankers. Escape Snowden — who in real life preparing for many months shown using the innovative reception “hero copies secret files until it slowly comes to a head”; whereupon he of the sinister bunker of the NSA in the most literal way is moving towards the light, gradually dissolving into the divine radiance of liberal values.”

Yaroslav Zabaluev, “stone made a movie about the heroism of the “little man””a Vivid story (a little docroot—, and espionage Thriller) is told deliberately easy. Gordon-Levitt if deliberately knocks the level of their charisma and by the end of even look is completely converted into its nondescript character. Artistic and General excitement from such avarice, of course, suffer, but not much. More importantly, the Director was, it seems, to make a movie about the heroism of the “little man”. Snowden is not a hero, he is like everyone else. And that’s the power of the film. Stone shows how just one person could make public the most important documents simply because he loves his country, is a precious and rare message, for which it is possible to forgive minor aesthetic flaws”.

Boris Ivanov: “stone in “Snowden” is not even trying to be objective”As you can see, stone’s “Snowden” is not even trying to be objective and present the “pros” and “cons”. Famous political movie Director doesn’t paint a three-dimensional portrait, but almost an icon. He had no doubt that Snowden is a hero who deserves the praise. Stone sings, as only he can. To the extent that when the hero commits his crime, it is supported by some colleagues”.

Sergey Sinyakov: “the Technical part of the heroism of Snowden Director stone reduced to a necessary minimum”is Actually the technical part of the feat (moderately dynamic journey files from one medium to another) stone, hardly a computer dock, reduced to the minimum necessary and only once translates programmers’ boredom the visual language of poetry, inserting a movie, as in the presentation, psychedelic clip, designed to show the global world of surveillance: glowing arrows, lightning flashes and suggestive dance numbers. Beautiful.
