Knowledge and Power

Enemy of the State:

In this movie “Enemy of the State”, we have seen lots of technological equipments. The characters used their knowledge to make these technological equipments. When they utilized their knowledge in a specific way, it’s called power. At first in this movie we saw that a congressman was killed by another congressman only for keep the information secret of a telecommunication company. This murder was captured in a secret video camera. When the cameraman had taken his video tape, N.S.A agents saw him and follow him. The cameraman wanted to spread the total information of this murder but before that he was killed in an accident. He was able to give the video tape to a lawyer named Robert Clayton Dean before his death. But Dean was totally unknown about the whole matter. To get back the video tape, the N.S.A agents used their technological power. By using their knowledge they made Dean’s life hell. When Dean knows all the matter, he used his knowledge to sort out from this problem with the help of a city police officer named Brill. At last we see that Dean had used his critical thinking knowledge to save himself and he was successful to do that. If a person has only money or guns, it does not mean that he has power. But if he has thinking capability or knowledge to sort out his problems, we can call it power.
