Narrative biopic. It tells the story of a down-and-out journalist who was inspired by the people who fought against factories in Japan and Minamata disease. He joined the movement to fight against factory pollution in Japan. Together with the local protesters, he exposed the viciousness of the factory, showed solidarity with the fighters, and filmed the film due to Minamata disease. The tragic experience of the afflicted family and the tragic daily life of the Minamata disease patient, slowly transforming from an outsider to a resistance fighter.
Depp's performance is remarkable. He transformed a photographer from decadence and despair, drunkenness, stubbornness in his own shooting, to resolutely going to Japan, taking it as his duty to complete the task, and then to being bribed by the factory owner and still rejecting it, to himself. The house where the photos were printed was burned down, and I was beaten and admitted to the hospital. I felt the resistance to revealing the truth, and became a fighter. I inspired the people who burned the house to send the photos back. The Minamata disease family was compensated, and this process allowed Depp to perform in a rich and relaxed manner.
The biggest highlight of this film is that the Minamata disease patients are really recruited, and the shooting is extremely real and immersive. In those pictures, the deformed limbs of Minamata disease, the hideous face, and the current situation where life cannot take care of itself is really shocking and makes people move. Our hearts feel the same as the editor-in-chief of Life Magazine who just received the photo. After the shock, there is endless sadness. Why did these innocent people suffer such a catastrophe, and who should such a family pay for? The sins in front of them were covered up and said to be a matter of probability, which is really shameless. Just like today's Japan, it is a nonsense to say that a large amount of nuclear waste water will be injected into the ocean without causing pollution. These Japanese thieves are simply shameless to the extreme.
Depp's love for the boy with Minamata disease is also very warm, there is no estrangement, no dislike, some are just friendship, and giving with all his heart, it is really warm.
The Japanese women around Depp are very tasteful.
I really like Depp's words as a photographer and enthusiast: "Indigenous Americans believe that photography can capture the soul of the subject, but they did not expect that a good photo can also take away the soul of the photographer. .It will make you sad, so if you shoot it, you have to shoot it with your heart!" How fascinated and addicted by an idiot who is obsessed with photography...
