The circle: a technological life without privacy

Imagine being guarded 24 hours a day, that your personal data as accounts, emails, calls and messages are exposed by a program, that is to say, zero privacy. Because this is what the science fiction movie (The Circle, 2017), directed and written by James Ponsoldt.

All begins when Annie, (Karen Gillan), gets a job interview with her friend Mae Holland, (Emma Watson), for the biggest communications company "The Circle", directed by Bailey, (Tom Hanks), and Tom, (Patton Oswalt). When hired, Holland realizes the extreme happiness of the workers, but little by little she will realize that this "false joy" hides a very dark secret, which will be known by his partner Ty, (John Boyega).

This film presents a very quick narrative, which can annoy the viewers, and even feel the need to see the film again to understand what happened?

The director Ponsoldt used several planes, but the most frequent was the multiple shot, which showed video calls. He also used dolly, as the actors walked back and forth inside the company's campus.

This story based on Dave Eggers' book presents a possible future with all the technological advances of today, and deserves to be seen in the cinema. It also leaves various teachings like "information is power" or "don't do to others what you don't like to be done to you".

This audiovisual has a resemblance to the company Google, from what is the life of its workers within the company, to the facilities it provides to cybernauts, but for the time being we aren't observed 24 hours, right?
