“Is America the greatest country in the world?” “Yes,” Gordon-Levitt replies in his role as Edward Snowden.

The first major film event about Edward Snowden did not come this year thanks to director Oliver Stone. Instead, it came in the form of Citizenfour, the deserving winner of the 2015 Academy Award for Best Documentary.

That film is given a lot of attention in Stone’s own creation, this week’s Snowden, as many of its scenes include actor portrayals of Snowden, filmmaker Laura Poitras, and journalist Glenn Greenwald. The reenacted documentary scenes are quite authentic, complete with Snowden ducking under a blanket to enter a password while he’s being filmed, and they were shot in the same Hong Kong hotel as the one where Snowden revealed a few world-changing documents.

One documentary scene didn’t make the dramatized cut, however. The first moment in which Snowden appears in the documentary includes Greenwald asking about the leaker’s life and identity. To those, he almost immediately responded, “I’m not the story here.”
