Jokes with ecology can lead to the death of mankind, but people stubbornly do not want to believe in it and make a lot of fatal mistakes. The true story of the photojournalist became the basis for a film called Minamata, which will be released in 2020.
Environmental crime
The city of Minamata is located in the outback of Japan. The village stands on the shore of the bay, which is associated with the life of a huge part of the population. People relax and work in this place, but one day they begin to notice strange symptoms. They are expressed in hearing loss, problems with speech and vision, and insanity. This is most reminiscent of the massive mercury poisoning, but the state in the person of government officials and corrupt officials is not going to take action and pretends that everything is fine. The story attracts the attention of uncompromising photojournalist William Smith, who begins a personal investigation.
Johnny Depp in the Minamata movie
To convey to the world the details of a terrible crime, the creators brought in victims who will tell their stories and help to understand the problem.
Johnny Depp guarantees the success of the project
The main role will be played by Johnny Depp, who is the producer of the biopic. Recently, the actor has had big problems in professional and personal life, but his talent is beyond doubt, and a big name promises success in advance. Perhaps this is what will make you think about how easy it is to destroy a person’s life.
The release date of the film "Minamata" is set for 2020, but the exact numbers will be known closer to the end of the project. William Eugene Smith was a real person who was fond of aviation, but then fell in love with the art of photography and became famous throughout the world. His works from the Second World War were called masterpieces.
Interesting Facts:
- The waters of the bay were poisoned by inorganic mercury, which was discharged by Chisso Corporation for a long time. After a chain of chemical reactions, it became one of the most toxic toxins.
- Poisoning substances caused the death of 14 people. The authorities tried to hide the fact of poisoning, but the number of victims who suffered damage to health was constantly increasing. Some victims managed to bring the case to court.
- The book, written by Smith's wife, Eileen Mioko, formed the basis of the script, the work of which was entrusted to David C. Kessler. The director will be Andrew Levitas.

The actors of the film "Minamata", which will appear in 2020, have a difficult task. They must create images of people who gradually lose sight, hearing and reason, and do not understand the causes of what is happening. The shock that the catastrophe is the work of human hands is enormous, but the most regretful is the fact that the villains are trying to hide the crime, and officials cover them.
Eugene Smith - Contractless
The main character who was truly an extraordinary personality deserves special attention. He was so critical of his work that he burned the first photographs taken while working as a photojournalist. The artist did not like to work under the contract and preferred creativity and free swimming, therefore he terminated the contract with the magazines “Newsweek” and “Life”.
After the outbreak of World War II, the photographer collaborated with Ziff-Davis Publishing for a while, but then returned to Life. On the instructions of this magazine, he went to Japan and got acquainted with the history of Minamata.
The image of a photo artist is very complicated, but this is not the first time Johnny Depp has to embody extraordinary images and attract the attention of viewers who are interested in cinema.
