Social Media is no longer an esoteric environment, it has now become the heart of the lives of individuals
The Circle is a film version of Dave Egger's 2013 novel. The circle is a latch of two movies namely the Social Network which was released in 2010 and considered as a modern classic as well as Beauty and the Beast.
I regard The Circle as a potentially good and unintentionally funny film. The overall film reflects dystopian outlook towards how humans behave and how technology should force it's on hand on people in general. The way it is directed inculates the belief that "humans do not really deserve privacy and the constant surveillance should be cornerstone of modern life," of which this is not particularly true.
However the film has a positive and interesting side to it. It's makes us aware that the Social Media we use on daily basis e.g Facebook, Apple, Google and Uber should be kept private. It is all so an eye opener making us question our online choices e.g things we post on daily basis. Most of the time we mostly post what is considered and seen as 'the good life' when in reality we do not necessarily have a good life (fake life). We also tend to act in an inappropriate and unreasonable manner.
Watson, whose role is basically the eyes and ears of the audience completely failed to evoke any sense of curiosity, empath or fear. Her interaction with Bank's shady chapter is considered by most people as the ultimate failing or the film. Her representation 'dumb little girl' caught in the web of lies instead of being a smart progressive character is one of the reasons many things in the film went wrong and character dynamics.
Even though the movie is considered to have negative reviews it teaches each and every one of us about ethical and moral choices in social media and drones. The showcasing of technology as being the "bad guy" does not change the fact that the movie is generally interesting. It is a reflection of how our current lives are like.
