   • Lessons Learned?

   Real-life tech references in the movie aren't meant as veiled accusations. Hanks' Eamon Bailey, for example, is the company's "public-facing visionary." Earlier this week, Hanks joked with Twitter CEO Jack Dorseyabout playing a diabolical tech genius with a beard. "I played you! I'm not in as good of shape, I didn't exercise or eat as well, but I p...

   Other actors in the film drew from specific points of reference. Actress Karen Gillan used reports about Amazon to better understand her character, Annie. A longtime friend of Mae, Annie is part of the Circle's executive elite, delivering inhuman productivity. To get inside Annie's head, Gillan relied on a New York Times 2015 expose about Amazon, s...

   To our society's credit, when abuse by tech giants comes to light, we generally respond with outrage rather than the indifference of "The Circle." But at the premiere during an audience Q&A, Hanks related his own lesson from the film, while satirizing how we can mock the behavior of movie characters only to live out the same actions ourselves. "Whe...

   Sep 16, 2020 · The best thing about “The Circle,” the dystopian social media-on-steroids drama starring Emma Watson and Tom Hanks, is that you now can watch it as part of a double feature with Netflix’s new “The Social Dilemma,” and consider how much of the movie is coming horribly true.

   Is 'the circle' a good movie about privacy?

   • The Circle's portrayal of privacy issues seems insufficient. At the very least, a movie about privacy should acknowledge things like doxxing and the anti-government surveillance movement in Silicon Valley, if only to dismiss them. But The Circle reduces humanity to sinister techies, credulous progressive sheeple, and off-the-grid objectors.

   Is 'The Circle' based on a true story?

   • The Circle is openly modeled on George Orwell’s 1984, but the film version feels like 1984 would be if the events described in the story never actually occurred in reality and the characters, such as Julia, were just figments of the protagonist's imagination. The screen adaptation is weightless and insular, focusing mainly on the discussions among tech people about their desires for world domination.
