I really liked this movie because it is a good example of how unethical people can be.

The conversation movie, Harry Caul was haunted by a pananoid surveillance. this movie is an example of how the modern technology can destroy others. Today with the new technology people do not have any privacy because we can be haunted by the new technology experts
