Power and Knowledge

Knowledge and Power are very closely related. In fact, they rely on each other deeply. A person, who is knowledgeable, is definitely powerful. "Enemy of the State" described this relation between knowledge and power in a very clear way.

"Enemy of the state" is an excellent thriller Directed by Tony Scott, staring Will Smith (Robert Dean), Gene Hackman (Brill) and Jon Voight (Reynolds). In the film, lawyer, will smith was targeted by surveillance-and-gizmo-happy government agency, and was totally being ruined by taking away everything he had, even his career and family. They were searching for a CD that contained evidence of a murder done by government agents. Will smith did not have any clue that he had the CD. Therefore, when the agents charged him he could not say anything about the CD. Then the agents planned to spy on will smith and tried to find out the CD. When will didn't have anyone who can help him, Gene Hackman (Brill), an ex-agent, helped him to get out of the mess, and with his help will smith managed to turned the table on them.

In the movie the massage was very clear that when you don't have a proper knowledge you are weak, but when you gain the knowledge you become powerful.
