這週要跟大家分享比特幣電影下集,不囉唆,我們繼續看下去吧!

4. 我是中本聰 I am Satoshi

上映日期:2015

製片國家/地區:美國

官方預告片:

正式影片:

被電影名稱吸引的請誠實舉手!(我!)

這部《我是中本聰》的短片,不是真的要告訴你中本聰是誰。(至今應該沒有人知道吧?!)而是透過長達52分鐘的對談、講座,分析比特幣和既有金融體系的關聯性。

乍聽之下或許會有點乏味,但這部片卻花了製片人Tomer Kantor整整三年,實地走訪五大洲,詢問超過50位受訪者,錄製超過125支短片並重新剪輯而成。與其他同類型紀錄片不同之處是,有更多元的見解,用中立的角度敘述不同國家、不同背景的觀點,客觀地帶領觀眾思考區塊鏈、虛擬貨幣對未來的影響。

「很多比特幣紀錄片表現的另一面就是,一切都非常以美國為中心,其中約三分之一的受訪者來自美國,雖然也有非洲人,亞洲人,歐洲人和澳大利亞人。我真的跳出了自己的方式,試圖傳播世界各地不同的觀點,而不是陷入美國主流思想。這不是因為我覺得有什麽不妥,只是因為我想表現出更大的畫面。」-Tomer Kantor

5. 比特幣大盜 Bitcoin Heist

上映日期:2016

製片國家/地區:越南

官方預告片:

聰明的犯罪分子都知道,「身為盜賊,無須談榮耀」!

《比特幣大盜》是個以比特幣為核心、融合陰謀和國際犯罪元素的動作喜劇。為了捕獲一個被政府間警察組織國際刑警的重要駭客通緝犯,特別探員Dada組織了一個團隊,成員包括駭客、街頭魔術師竊賊和偽造專家。(超酷!)

特務Dada奉命捕捉一位代號為「The Ghost」的駭客。「The Ghost」是一名透過勒索軟體盜取比特幣的通緝犯,也是國際刑警組織的通緝對象。

Dada在第一次的任務出了大錯,夥伴Phuc被拘留,同事Ky與幾名員警更因而殉職後,決定拒絕警方的協助,自行找了技巧純熟的竊賊、駭客、偽造專家、魔術師一同合作,展開一連串的諜對諜追捕心理戰。

這部電影同時入圍新加坡國際電影節、聖地牙哥亞洲電影節等。導演陳光咸(Ham Tran)也別出心裁,請來強大的卡司陣容,如越南知名魔術師Petey Majic Nguyen、越南首席女rapper Suboi,越南出色演員Kate Nhung、Thanh Pham等,讓全劇更添精彩亮點。

In Search of a Good Movie? Check out these movies about Bitcoin! (II)

Have you been binge watching on the movies we introduced last week?

(If you haven’t, this is for you: https://mith.pse.is/BF8P8

This week we have another episode. Now let’s dive right in!

4. I am Satoshi

Release Date: 2015

Contry/Region: USA

Official Trailer:

Movie:

Who was also intrigued by the movie title! (ME!)

This short film, “I am Satoshi”, didn’t actually reveal who Satoshi is (probably still remains unknown until this day?). This 52-minute film is actually a seminar and interview documentary that analyzes the relations between Bitcoin and existing monetary sector.

It may sound a bit boring, yet producer Tomer Kantor spent three years traveling through five continents interviewing 50 interviewees. More than 125 clips were recorded and edited into this film. Unlike other similar documentaries, this one is inclusive of diversified opinions. It depicts the perspectives of people from various countries and background in a neutral point of view. The audiences will be able to contemplate future impacts of blockchain and cryptocurrency objectively.

“A lot of Bitcoin documentaries are centered around the United States. In this film, approximately one third of the interviewees were from the United States, and we also have African, Asian, European and Australian interviewees. I really took a huge leap out of my zone. I tried to deliver aspects from all around the world, instead of being trapped in the main stream America — not that I think it’s inappropriate — but I’d like to present a bigger picture.” — Tomer Kantor

5. Bitcoin Heist

Release Date: 2016

Country/Region: Vietnam

Official Trailer:

Any highly intelligent criminal mind would know, “as a thief, there’s no such thing as glory”!

“Bitcoin Heist” is an action comedy that revolves around Bitcoin and integrated the elements of conspiracy and international crime. In order to arrest an important hacker fugitive wanted by interpol, special agent Dada organized a team that consists of a hacker, a street magician and a counterfeit specialist. (SO COOL!)

Special agent Dada was assigned the mission of arresting a hacker, code name “the Ghost”. “The Ghost” is a wanted criminal who steals Bitcoin through ransom softwares. He’s also wanted by interpol.

Dada made a huge mistake on his first mission, causing his partner Phuc to be taken under custody. When his colleague Ky and other police members were killed on duty, Dada turned down assistance from the police. He decided to collaborate with a skilled thief, a hacker, a counterfeit specialist and a magician to embark on a catch-me-if-you-can mind game journey.

This movie was nominated in Singapore International Film Festival and San Diego Asian Film Festival. Director Ham Tran devoted great efforts in casting famous Vietnamese magician Petey Majic Nguyen, Vietnamese leading rapper Suboi, outstanding Vietnamese actor and actress Kate Nhung and Thanh Pham. These celebrities definitely gathered all the spotlights!

6. The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin

Release Date: 2014

Country/Region: USA

Official Trailer:

This video is one of my favorite. I highly recommend it to those “newbies” who are unfamiliar with blockchain and cryptocurrency!

Dan is a mediocre developer at Pittsburg who struggles between work and family. He has been enchanted with cryptocurrency ever since he first acquainted Bitcoin in 2011. Dan started to participate in all sorts of meet-ups, activities and discussions. The audiences will be able to probe into the world of Bitcoin and see how entrepreneurs and startups battle at the front line of monetary sector. This film also interviewed multiple crypto-legends including Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, the “Jesus of Bitcoin” Roger Ver and leading Scientist of Bitcoin Foundation Gavin Anderson.

That’s pretty much all I have to share for now. I hope new-comers can enter the world of cryptocurrency through an intriguing subject!

Feel free to pick some of the movies above this weekend to watch, relax and learn!
