After watching the movie yesterday, I suddenly remembered his letter today. , I just translated it in a hurry. Overall, I think the content of the movie itself is not as pessimistic as Assange expected. Of course, I have not studied the two books cited in Assange’s letter, so I will not comment on the position of DreamWorks.
Incidentally, I would like to mention the seminar about reporters and leakers that I have been in attending a few months ago. The video invited Assan. Odd, the Guardian reporter Glenn Greenwald (the key figure in the Snowden case) and Chelsea Manning (also mentioned in the movie that the protagonist of the biggest leak case, she has been transformed into a woman, renamed Chelsea) lawyer David Coombs. This seminar is obviously with the original intention of sympathizing with the whistleblower. The most worth mentioning is Glenn Greenwald. He is very excited and speaks quickly, but he has a few speeches that are very exciting. I only remember the general meaning.
BTW: This year’s Oscar’s Fourth Citizen won the best documentary, and GG took the stage and led a small golden man
. 1. Guo Jia’s method for leakers has never been an upright refutation of evidence, but used media channels to challenge the leaker’s personality, hobbies and habits. , Orientation, etc. Attack discredit (discredit), Assange's dirty socks are also mentioned in the movie. GG believes that this method has been used for decades and will continue to be used in the future.
2. Regarding the leak itself, GG believes that the leak itself is something that happens every day, every week, and every month in Washington. Deliberately leaked secrets for the purpose of ZZ propaganda. There is a double standard in the definition of leaks, and the criterion may only be whether the content is beneficial to the image and publicity of zf
3. GG believes that the emergence of Manning, Snowden, and WikiLeaks is essentially an information war. The position of reporters is crucial (but Assange believes that most media reporters cannot be trusted). The outcome of the war will determine when We are going to send our children to Afghanistan or Iraq, are we in a state of being deceived, or can we really find a reasonable enough reason
=============
The following is the text, in fact the text Just one sentence can sum up
BC’s sincere thoughts and discuss the role of Assange with him. Assange was very moved and rejected him
=============
Dear Benedict:
I am very touched. Thank you for trying to contact me. This is also the first time someone contacted me in the production of DreamWorks or
my assistant from WikiLeaks communicated your request with me. I thought a lot and investigated your past works. I like
it very much. I think I will be glad to see you
that the bond between an actor and a real person is very meaningful.
If a movie is released, you and I will be connected forever in the public's imagination. Our paths will be intertwined forever. For many years in the future, you and I will comment on each other for granted, and others will compare our traits and tracks.
But I must be honest and honest.
I hope you can treat this straightforwardness as respect instead of maliciousness.
I believe you are a good person, but I don’t. I believe this is a good movie.
I don’t believe that this movie will have a positive meaning for
me and the people I care about. I believe it will have an overwhelming negative impact on me and the people I care about.
It’s adapted from a book. An untrue book whose author has a deep hatred for me and my unit. In
other cases, hatred may no longer exist. However, we and the US zf and its paper media have created a market for funding and benefits for works and talks that are not conducive to us—strong, perhaps unpopular
There are more than ten positive books on WikiLeaks, but the script of DreamWorks is chosen to refer to Le's most poisonous ones. The first book chosen by DreamWorks has been poisonous enough to be distributed to US military bases. As a means to hinder personnel from communicating with us, it is well known that its author has continued to participate in the production of DreamWorks.
Another copyright purchased by DreamWorks is the second most toxic and prejudiced book. We have years of acute contract disputes with the people who wrote and published him, and their hostility is well known. Neither of the two books was originally published. Many independent authors wrote positive or neutral books, but these DreamWorks ignored
DreamWorks and established their production on the two most untrustworthy books in the entire market.
I Knowing that the film intends to portray me and my work as negative,
I believe it will distort the event and reduce public perception.
Its purpose is not to make the facts simple and clear, but to conceal it.
It will be reused and magnified a long time ago. It was proved to be a false slander story.
This unit and I are the thorns in the eyes of political opponents from the US zf and its close allies. The
US zf is based on strict espionage laws and has used all means of the rule of law and the intelligence system to track down WikiLeaks. , In their own words, is the investigation of "the entire zf" of "unprecedented scale and nature". Our so-called informants are facing life imprisonment in the U.S. prison system. Two have already been imprisoned, and the other one has been detained in Sweden. The
genre is the most powerful and a potential shaper of public perception because they are on the unconscious radar.
This film will bury good people and good things in the region , and the United States has already targeted them at this exact time.
It will conceal the truth of the matter. At this moment when the truth is most needed,
there will be an argument that this is fiction, but it is not. It misinterprets the truth about the real people fighting against huge enemies. This is a zz speculation, propaganda and revenge, in short, the work of a coward.
It attacks our work, our reputation and our efforts from behind.
It will try to replace our strengths with strengths and weaknesses, replace feelings with utilization, diligence with paranoia, loyalty with naivety, and principle with hypocrisy. In general, replacing the truth with lies
. Many of the distortions in this movie will strengthen the prosecution’s future dialectics, existing dialectics, and ongoing dialectics, including my case and other people’s cases. These cases will continue for many years. The
producer is not a weak one
. It is not DreamWorks that is threatened by the salt vessel, or our
DreamWorks is a local tyrant company, which is closely related to the interests of ZF in the United States.
So I must question the choice and motivation behind it. : Speculation, fear and stereotypes; the unspoken rules of American film investment and distribution; flattery against useful and courageous actions.
I believe that you are an upright person, and naturally you don’t want to hurt good people in a bad environment.
You will Being used as a gun seems to be expressing the truth, but it is slanderous. Shape me into a morally problematic person, and put me in a history that has been tampered with. To create a work, not in the name of fiction, but in the name of inferior quality.
Not because you want this, of course you will not, but because in the end you are a working actor, you can get paid according to the script, regardless of the script How depraved
your abilities will fall into the hands of those who try to eradicate WikiLeaks and
me. I believe you need to reconsider your investment in this project.
Consider the consequences of your cooperation with this project. It is slanderous and one person ZZ asylum seekers are marginalized in the face of the stubborn, fb and dangerous Guo Jia.
Consider the consequences of people who may be hurt because of this movie.
Many people who fight against history will be exposed by history in this way. This is our collective history. Millions of people are involved. Many people will open their eyes because of our work and our attempts to destroy us.
I think you did it out of good intentions, but you can definitely understand why I and It’s not a good idea to
meet. Our meeting will mean that I approve of this despicable movie. It means approving of the depraved performance of the genius you were forced to show.
I can't allow any words to describe the film as it really is, nor can it be seen in the current situation. Doing so will further strengthen the propaganda against me.
(Meeting) The interests of me and this unit are completely different. I am very grateful for your invitation and I am sure that this is your sincerity, but I must reject it with indescribable regret.
Julian Assange
