Synopsis
Dean (Will Smith) is a black practicing lawyer with a beautiful family life and a bright future. On Christmas Eve, Dean met a friend he hadn't seen in a long time. Since then, Dean's life has changed dramatically.
It turned out that the friend had put a disc recording the entire murder of a member of Congress by a high-ranking person into Dean's bag! Without knowing it, poor Dean is closely watched by the black sheep in the NSA and subjected to all sorts of pressures, even unjustifiably prosecuted for the murder of his ex-girlfriend Rachel.
Forced by helplessness, Dean had to start his own escape and track down the real culprit behind the scenes. © Douban

Coconut Grove said: It is everyone's duty to fight back against the abuse of rights by despising one's own personality and to use all possible means to fight back.
"For our enemies, it must be monitored. At the same time, we realized that monitoring personnel should also be monitored. ”
"So who's going to monitor the people who are monitoring the people?"
Civil liberties are a fragile existence.
The more you use it, the more traces you leave. Everything about you is not a secret in modern times. y
National security issues are not the only ones.
There is no privacy at all, only one's own thoughts can be called privacy.
Film reviews
(Transferred from Douban Film Review)
★★★★ (Southern Cross)
The right to personal privacy is the most important existence for everyone, especially in Americans, reflected in the reality of the uproar caused by the previous U.S. government's admission to the need to wiretap the phone, and the citizens of the United States are proud of their so-called democracy, but personal privacy is inviolable, no matter who it is, even if it is the government that claims to need to fight terrorism.
Now it seems that "Enemy of the People" is quite predictive, or it is because of the selection of a subject that will not be left behind. ...... The weak Smith was powerless to resist for the first 100 minutes, and unbeknownst to him, he was toyed with by a gang of NSA-backed lawmakers until a powerful partner joined. In his human way, he also controls his human body, so that the other party feels pain without a sense of privacy. Finally, a trick, the underworld and the bad parliamentarians fight a fish to the death, Smith cleared the charges, and said leisurely: "They can spy on us, see through our privacy, so who will spy on these people behind the scenes?" The mp once said this when trading on the side of the barbed wire: "... Now, teenage teenagers can act as hackers, hacking into White House sites... There is no privacy at all, only one's own thoughts can be called privacy. "But will there come a day when even thoughts lose their privacy?"
★★★★ (Lin || We talk about everything like talking about death! ）
What is the difference between individual liberty and national security? Should the lives of individuals, their lives, be meaningful outside the country, the people, and the masses? Can the government represent the will of the whole country? To put it mildly, it is counter-terrorism, to put it bluntly, it is ideological monitoring, and it is necessary to talk about religious freedom. Such a film is the conscience film I like, and its existence or non-existence seems to me to be the difference between society and capital.
★★★★ (Dream Poems)
The idea of public power being abused gives "Enemy of the Nation" excellent content depth, and the lawyer played by Will Smith in the film has become the object of the eradication of the privileged class only because of an accident, and he has to fight against the crushing of the politician's call to the state apparatus with his own strength, so that the climax is repeated, and the interlocking suspense makes the film seem so amazing.
★★★★ (Dijiang)
The line between personal freedom and national security has always been blurred, and since 911, the latter's encroachment on the former has a legitimate reason; Jon Voight seems to be very suitable for this well-dressed villain role, Mission Impossible is also, so is this film; in the movie, a cat and a dog are small cute things, nonsensical dogs and well-behaved cats, how to see how to have love~
★★★★（MUSIC... Ring)
Great, although it is a movie from more than a decade ago, it still has the power to shock people's hearts. How much power have we given to the state? What kind of lens do we live in? It's terrible, it's a blessing, I'm just an ordinary person.
★★★★ ( Square Gun Gun)
One sentence comment: The political ethics of reality TV are completely subversive. The so-called public enemy of the state is, to a certain extent, the superman of the whole people, and he is single-handedly fighting against the immoral political conspiracy of the whole country. The final ending is really black, and the little people borrow knives to kill!
