It is true that not all
things and people we think are right are right. Not all things and people we
think are wrong are wrong. We must keep in mind: Everything and everyone has a
story from behind.
Those are just three of
the many statements that I agreed with after watching the Deep Web, a 2015 film
by Alex Winter- which I must say is very informative, eye- opening and totally
worth watching!
The documentary shows the audience that the way things appear is not
always how they truly are. For instance, in the film's case, an average individual
is most likely unaware that aside from pages from common search engines like
Google, there are several unindexed sites used for banking, confidential activities
and even for drug trading.
Also, it presents things that
a majority of us have yet to be knowledgeable about, like Darknet or Bitcoin or
how prejudicial and unconstitutional the government is. Okay, just kidding, we
already knew the latter. But then again, the nice thing about this movie is
that it delves into the so called "justice" given by the government,
which is pretty great because it just makes you realize that things are not always
made fair, even by the one who should be modelling it to its people.
The only
thing I found in need of a bit of twitching was that the film was more on Ross Ulbricht- a guy who was said to be the mastermind of the Silk Road, a site involved in drug selling and his case- how he was sentenced with life imprisonment and the like.
I guess it could’ve been better if the
documentary shed greater light on the Deep Web - like how it works, its components and etc., because that
is the title of the film anyways, and if unlike me, you are familiar with this
topic even before watching, then you would certainly expect to learn a lot more about the Deep Web itself.
However, the movie as a whole remains
to be interesting, enlightening, and I must say, quite a good one. To add to that, who even knew that there are things like
Darknet or Bitcoin and all those "unindexed" stuff? I mean I didn't,
till I watched the Deep Web, so I recommend you do the same!
