The movie The Circle explores the idea of no privacy in society as a company known as The Circle unveils ever-seeing cameras all a crossed the country. The companies hope is to promote activism as they know when individuals are doing wrong in the world. This film opened my eyes to the reality of a battle between freedom and privacy that is unfolding today. As this project follows May around you begin to see the brain washing effect of the technology as she only sees the good in the all-knowing system. Characters such as Mercer and Annie display the stress and fear that The Circle can cause. Annie is in fear of her parents being found because they did not save a man drowning. additionally, Mercer, a love interest of Mae’s, begins to be stacked by these cameras as he attempts to fall off the grid by living in a cabin in the woods. This shows that the system has no room for stragglers and will go to any length to monitor anyone and everyone. Ultimately a drone attempting to keep up with Mercer in a chase, crashes into his windshield and kills him. In class we have discussed technologies ever-growing impact on everyday life and this Movie falls right into that category. Although the idea is a stretch in terms of our human rights there is still glimpses of this overlook today.

I believe that it is important to maintain a level of privacy for the mental satisfaction of solitude within people. In certain situations an eye over you would be overwhelming and if the circle was reality everyone would be hesitant instead of free willed.
