Interesting thing imho is about what same say perception=reality. Which is true if you don't question everything. I watched "Sneakers" today mainly because it gives me fond memories of previous work years ago. The quotes and lines …sometimes I wonder how long this plan was in the works and if it maybe hasn't been a war for our minds in movies for many years…some of the parallels were uncanny.
Sneakers quotes:
Cosmo:
There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think… it's all about the information!

Dick Gordon: National Security Agency.
Martin Bishop: Ah. You're the guys I hear breathing on the other end of my phone.
Dick Gordon: No, that's the FBI. We're not chartered for domestic surveillance.
Martin Bishop: Oh, I see. You just overthrow governments. Set up friendly dictators.
Dick Gordon: No, that's the CIA. We protect our government's communications, we try to break the other fella's codes. We're the good guys, Marty.
Martin Bishop: Gee, I can't tell you what a relief that is… Dick.

Cosmo: Anyway, I couldn't have you talking to the Russians. Five years ago, yes, we could trust them not to go running to the F.B.I., or if they did we could trust the F.B.I. not to believe them, but today we can't trust anybody.
