    "Animal Farm" should be written by George Orwell after the Spanish Civil War. It seems unreasonable to draw this book and the Ukrainian famine in the film. Orwell was still a die-hard leftist at that time, but only later turned right and became the "fifth column" of anti-Communist propaganda. This film has to be watched together with "Fenghuo Chiyan Wanli...

    The problem of rhythm is too great, and the film doesn't get to the point before halfway through. It is a biopic of Mr. Jones and the birth of Orwell's "Animal Farm". Using the latter as a series is a bit superfluous and a bit off-topic. There is no in-depth discussion on the real cause of the famine in Ukraine. In the world pattern before the outbreak of World War II, the Red Terror had already shrouded Western freedom. Don't forget that someone gave their life to speak...

The film’s very fascinating complexities-the entanglement of truth and interests, also point to today’s "post-truth" era, Jones’s The tragedy lies in telling the “truth” that is “untimely”-the turbulent international situation before World War II required the British and American governments to reach some kind of exchange of interests...

    It can be seen that Agneska Holland is already familiar with making political thrillers, and the recent photos are quite unique. Of course, some parts of the bridge are still too TV...

    It was a bit slow at the beginning, but after entering Ukraine, the famine was shocking, and after returning, it was slandered and obstructed by a group of pinko colleagues (#FAKENEWS NYTimes name). The theme of this film is not in Holodomor itself, the title is still the reporter's pursuit of the truth at all costs. It’s not very good to use Orwell’s "Animal Farm" from the beginning to the end. The few soundtracks are...

    A live-action biographical film that records the experience of the legendary British journalist Gareth Jones who sneaked into Ukraine and exposed the Ukrainian famine to the West for the first time. The first half of the movie was a little boring, but the thrilling period after arriving in Ukraine: On the train, a few oranges were looted by hungry people, and they were treated by three orphans in the village. They were told that they ate their brother’s meat and were hungry everywhere... and...

Mr. Jones quotes

  • Walter Duranty: I read your article. Do you think Hitler really believes the things he said?

    Gareth Jones: Lots of people say he's deranged.

    Walter Duranty: What is "deranged" in a deranged world, hmm?

  • George Orwell: [Shaking hands with Gareth Jones] Eric Blair.

    Gareth Jones: Gareth Jones

    Leonard Moore: But you won't find Eric Blair on the bookshelves. You'll have to look for Orwell, George Orwell, after the river.
