      It is estimated that few people who call the "beacon of democracy" in the United States today know that the "beacon of democracy" before World War II was the Soviet Union

      Ironically, before World War II, the Soviet Union was a "beacon of democracy" worshipped by post-war activists in various countries, and intellectuals in various countries who thought they could think independently worshiped the Soviet Union as a beacon of democracy. Later, because Khrushchev exposed his family scandal for the power struggle, the easily deceived intellectuals found out that they had been deceived.

      The same is true today. The new "beacon of democracy" in the...

      fact

      Do you want to live in an illusory and beautiful world, or live in the painful truth. See George Orwell in the play. I thought of the "Animal Farm" he wrote. There is a sentence in it: All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal. It seems that people in any era have not escaped the classification of three, six, nine, and the highest level of people have the most abundant material and spiritual resources. And the more people get down, the fewer resources people get, and I hope...

      The concentrated orange juice of international politics and the killing knife of our culture

      If the country that is hostile to our country disappears instantly, then our country can elect a new hostile country from the remaining foreign countries;

      When all foreign countries disappear, then our country can be condensed into our province;

      When all other provinces disappear, then our province can be condensed into our city;

      When all other cities disappear, then our city can be condensed into our...

      Is it a man or a pig? High-pressure farms under harsh rule

      Everyone has choices, even under the pressure of life threats.

      The former Pulitzer Prize winner helped the Soviet Union under Stalin’s dictatorship, whitewashing the evil deeds of millions of Ukrainian famine victims by the totalitarian government. A reporter who was not yet a reporter bravely melted the blood and was buried in heavy snow. Of bones.

      The opening of "Mr. Jones" is the opening of George Orwell’s creation of "Animal Farm" by his bedside in the early morning or...

      Don’t treat normality as abnormal

      Holodomor, which means Extinction cuz of starvation in Latin, can be named as this name to refer to the Great Famine in Ukraine. It is more derived from the sense of famine that occurred in the world-renowned black soil grain production area. The background of the famine was very embarrassing. Nazi Germany expanded its armaments and prepared for war. The Stalin government had no choice but to protect itself. Ten years of civil war and long-term foreign intervention made the Soviet Union only...

      The first historical film I saw directly showed the historical facts of the Great Famine in the Soviet Union and Ukraine before 1932-33. The director was a Polish female director born in 48 years of our time. Her work has always focused on historical reality. From these two points alone, I should give the film a high score! The truth of history cannot be forgotten, let alone buried. The film described Mr. Jones, the first British journalist who exposed the Great Famine in the Western world....

      69th Berlinale is looking forward to it, and it will inevitably be disappointed. The intelligent and "naturally blind" personality of the male protagonist is an obstacle to watching this movie. Such a good character prototype is a...

      I feel so related... Horan's American drama is basically suitable for this story (although it is still a little too American drama), it combines film noir style (noir seems to be very popular in Poland recently?), the effect is better than the one two years ago. It's so much better; here, Communism is desperate, Captalism is selfish, the spark of love burns out of ideals and beliefs and finally disappears into an unbridgeable distance/chasm, and finally a hopeless ending, how contemporary... I...

      Three and a half stars, the whole film is almost black and white, cold and insipid without any turbulence, the hungry people are only numb, the Jones who sees it is only shocked, the reporters and politicians are only ignorant, in such a Western world economic depression , and all look forward to the success of the eastern social experiment, and the eastern world also looks forward to the era of using Pulitzer's words to gain the recognition and trade of the western world, all of which seem to...

    • 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.
