“Snowden,” Oliver Stone’s best movie in years, benefits from the same biopic approach as “Born on the Fourth of July,” by giving us the personal story and not just the inner workings of the intelligence community that we gleaned from Laura Poitras’ Oscar-winning “Citizenfour” documentary.
“Snowden” is a gripping narrative about the changing perceptions of the whistleblower (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) as he moves from idealism to disillusionment— while remaining a patriot. The film’s editors Lee Percy and Alex Marquez helped to humanize the Nsa contractor’s life and what motivated him to leak thousands of classified documents to journalists, exposing covert global surveillance programs.
While exploring the covert world of spying and complicated computer tech, Stone focuses heavily on Snowden’s relationships, particularly with girlfriend Lindsay Mills (Shailene Woodley), who broadens his ideology, and CIA recruiter and mentor Corbin O’Brian (Rhys Ifans), whose surname was lifted from George Orwell...

Oliver Stone's alternative history is an easy target for rightwing critics but is solid, thought-provoking and full of terrific archive material
Reactions to film director Oliver Stone's ambitious attempt to reinterpret America's postwar history tended to divide along strictly ideological lines. The left welcomed it – the Guardian's wave-making correspondent Glenn Greenwald tweeted: "You may not agree with all, but the series is provocative and worthwhile." The right despised it – neocon historian Ronald Radosh said it was "mendacious" and a "mindless regurgitation of Stalin's propaganda".
Stone, in his folksy introduction to the series that was shown on CBS's Showtime channel in the Us in autumn 2012 and on Sky Atlantic in the UK in spring 2013, says he made it for his children. They were getting as one-sided a view of American history as he got – "We were the centre of the world, there was a manifest destiny, we were the...
