A brief overview of Johnny Depp new movie 2020: Minamata
The movie’s background is in Minamata, Japan in 1970. W. Eugene Smith (Johnny Depp) used to be a well-known reporter in World War II. However, currently, he is obsessed with present indignations and personal inferiority. Being treated coldly by his children and lack of money, Smith implores the Editor of Life magazine, Bob Hayes (Bill Nighy), to give him a job opportunity. Hayes refuses strongly his request.
One day, Aileen (Minami) - a Japanese translator meets Smith. She hopes that he can help her expose the conspiracy of Chisso, a large chemical corporation in Japan. This corporation is poisoning the water near Minamata coastal village by discharging mercury in the water. Many people who live there get a strange disease named “Minamata disease” and they are dying.
After knowing this, Smith quickly enters Hayes’s office and declares his determination to reveal the whole truth.
All the documents used in Minamata are real photos taken by couple Aileen Mioko Smith and W. Eugene Smith – authors of the book “Minamata”. They had lived in Minamata town at the time when the mercury poisoning happened.
