Do yourself a favor and see this movie. Think “Citizen Kane”
or “Metropolis” or “Casablanca” with the thriller tempo of Wes Craven.
Better to see the scenes of fugitive Ed Snowden at the theater
rather than at home. The bigger the screen the better, baby. Me, I gotta see it
again just to admire the Snowden close-ups. What’s behind the headlines, you
ask? CitizenFour does that tired line much better. Watching him, listening to
him as the story unfolds, that is beyond words better than any of the headlines
you can imagine. And I should know. I write headlines for a living.
Don’t wait. See it now. Think of it like a terrible accident
in your neighborhood. Do you wait until someone gets a video of it, or comes
back to tell you about it secondhand. No, you race out the door and go to the
scene because it is happening now. Not next week, or next month. But now.
So go. Buy a ticket online or at the box office and see the
movie of the millennium, CitizenFour.
