This is what is happening (1984:George Orwell) I still like my privacy, shame too many people don't understand what info they are giving also invades on other's privacy. Watch this movie and hopefully people will start to realize what they are losing...

I think the movie is a powerful warning except it seems to end with the idea that the problem was that it needed to be done “right”. You know, kinda like leftists thing that socialism has never been done “right”.

Ignoring the ending, it does have a powerful message. It is the “give up freedom for security” message.

Shame we can’t pull Tom Hanks into the ‘above 50 IQ’ level :p

He is such a good actor, but, he seems far lost :(

IMBD rating 5.3 = a hacker, aka a waste of time staring that once cute kid Emma Watson now ultra leftist.

We watched it a month or so ago. If people don’t understand how they’ve given up their privacy with social networking after watching that, I can’t help them.

Emma Watson? No thanks, I won’t contribute to that man-hater’s paycheck.

Excellent movie. I posted a thread on it months ago.

Odd thing is that Tom Hanks produced it and starred as the charismatic tech CEO. Emma Watson played the part of the wide eyed and eager new employee that gets caught up in the groupthink, but she plays it out to her advantage.

You mean, what they lost, not losing.

Privacy is pretty much dead.

The NSA has it all. It’s just a matter of who gets to see it, and it can be searched through by modern bots seeking correlations, facts and other items based on very sophisticated algorithms.

So even the see-ers don’t need to break a sweat.

This movie keeps popping up on my Netflix or Amazon streaming feed.

I’ll get around to watching it one day.
