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 evening: Mr. Jones of the manor farm locked the chicken coops one by one before staying overnight, but it is because Drinking too much, and some small holes in the side door but forgot to close.
The political irony novels that we are familiar with are not only derived from some personal experience of the writer himself. After watching this film, you will know that behind this book, there are still a few people who risk their lives to expose the historical truth buried by most people. .
Changdong wine is full of joy, there are frozen bones on the road
The whole film describes in detail the terrible experience of Mr. Jones after he set foot in the Soviet Union.
Those who are accustomed to the civilized and elegant upper class of London may be paralyzed by the unrestrained parties of the newspapers at night when they first arrive in Moscow, or they may marvel at the free hospitals and schools, or relax in a coveted sumptuous lunch. Su Lenovo made every outsider marvel at Stalin's wit and wisdom. They were even convinced by the lies they talked about. Praise is the most common language Mr. Jones heard in Moscow.
But is it true? Observation and discovery are skills that a person who seeks the truth should have, after all, there is only one truth.
Mr. Jones grabbed the rope leading to the darkness from the subtle signs, and never let go.
After arriving in Ukraine alone, the gates of hell opened. In the heavy snow, every time you encounter a thin, dirty person or corpse, you will bring new fears: children snatching food, dead bodies everywhere, crying babies on a car full of thin corpses, eating brothers The little girl who comes to eat...
This is a man-made famine. Under the high pressure of the collectivization of Stalin's agriculture, trucks and trucks of grain were transported to Moscow by Soviet soldiers, and local people could only queue up in front of the granary to grab the hard bread that was often cut off. There is no colder winter than that year, colder hearts.
Living in the magnificent press palace in Moscow, there is wine and meat, but no longer the spirit and courage to explore the truth. The former Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times correspondent in the Soviet Union, Walter Duranti, can no longer tell the truth after five years of life in the Soviet Union. I don’t know it’s because of the broken right leg. It was because the song and wine dissolved the soul.
Beyond the darkness, there is still darkness
Does anyone want to know the real Soviet Union? This highlights the fact that state cooperation only has transactions, not humanity.
Mr. Jones spoke out of his horrible experience in the Soviet Union under extreme anxiety. This not only made the noble boss angry, but was also attacked by many well-known newspapers around the world. All reports made Mr. Jones a liar and manipulated national incidents. Traitors and lunatics of international relations. Almost everyone believed it, but George Orwell did not.
I am afraid that only a similar experience can make a person understand that there are cruel, crazy, and dehumanizing people and regimes in the world, and there will always be a "big brother" in the corner waiting for you to say something.
"Move your eyes from pigs to people, then from people to pigs, and from pigs to people again. It is no longer possible to distinguish which face is a pig and which face is a human."
George Orwell and those who still have conscience and courage are caught in a long-lasting thick fog. This is not the fear caused by the unknown, but the hesitation added by knowing too much. The sense of powerlessness has become a file of courage. , The edge is hard to come by.
In the end, with the help of the British dignitaries, an article exposing the Great Famine in Ukraine was published on the front page of the Morning Post. The story of the millions of people who died during the long winter night in 1932 was made public. Animal Farm was finally published in 1945. Through the continuous warming of the Cold War, it spread all over the world.
Literature has been universally recognized under the banner of political propaganda, but now it can still be read again and again. Let us understand that moment in case history repeats itself.
Or it never stops.
Mr. Gareth Jones was shot before his thirtieth birthday.
