It touches us by intimately portraying the real suffering of the victims of an environmental tragedy.
Through Eugene Smith's eyes, we feel his commitment to give a voice to the voiceless.
His gaze humanises the catastrophe by putting faces, stories and emotions to each person affected, from the helplessness of those who were sickened, to the full dignity of those who fought tirelessly for justice.
Beyond a story of the past, this film is moving in the timelessness of its message.
It reminds us how fragile we humans are in the face of disasters of our own making and how crucial it is to speak out before it is too late, as Smith did from his committed lens.
Undoubtedly, "Minamata" shocks us with its stark reality and its ability to capture human fortitude in the face of adversity.

Hola mi gente linda de Movies & TV Shows hoy les traigo una película que sin duda no va a dejar a nadie sin nada que decir, ya que es una historia basada en un hecho real y una tragedia que aún en la actualidad sus victimas siguen padeciendo, y que estoy segura que a más de uno le tocara su parte más sensible, cuando veo este tipo de películas siento que viví durante muchos años en una burbuja de sobreprotección porque en realidad después que me convertí en madre a los 28 años me he dado cuenta lo cruel y egoísta que es el mundo y aún hoy a mis 31 años sigo viendo cosas que cada día me sorprenden más y me entristecen.
Hello my beautiful people of Movies & TV Shows today I bring you a movie that certainly will not leave anyone with nothing to say, as it is a story based on a true story and a tragedy that even today its victims continue to suffer, and I'm sure that more than one will touch your most sensitive part, when I see this kind of movies I feel that I lived for many years in a bubble of overprotection because in reality after I became a mother at 28 years old I have realized how cruel and selfish the world is and even today at 31 years old I still see things that every day surprise me more and sadden me.)
Pero para no alargarme más hablemos de la película que por cierto la comparto también para unirme en apoyo a mi actor favorito por todo lo que esta viviendo, Johnny Depp quien es el protagonista de esta historia y quien nos sigue demostrando el gran y extraordinario actor que es aún en la actualidad.
But let's talk about the movie, which by the way I share it also to join in support of my favorite actor for everything he is going through, Johnny Depp who is the protagonist of this story and who continues to show us what a great and extraordinary actor he is even today.
Les hablo del "El fotógrafo de Minamata" que nos cuenta un hecho memorable del famoso y reconocido fotógrafo a nivel internacional de la época XX Eugene Smith, un hombre estadounidense quien se había ganado su reconocimiento por su arduo trabajo foto periodístico cubriendo eventos importantes como la Segunda Guerra Mundial y otros eventos relacionados a esta guerra, quien retrataba a las personas en sus momentos más vulnerables.
I am talking about "The Minamata Photographer" which tells us about a memorable event of the famous and internationally recognized photographer of the 20th century Eugene Smith, an American man who had earned his recognition for his hard work as a photojournalist covering important events such as World War II and other events related to this war, who portrayed people in their most vulnerable moments.
Eugene Smith se entera sobre un pequeño pueblo en Japón que esta sufriendo los efectos secundarios de envenenamiento por mercurio a causa de una empresa que se encarga de fabricar y botar desechos químicos al mar altamente tóxicos mejor conocida como The Chisso Corporation, Eugene decide viajar a Japón en un momento bastante critico para él a nivel personal pero el cuál este viaje cambiaria muchas cosas en su vida y en la vida de las personas de este pequeño pueblo.
Eugene Smith learns about a small town in Japan that is suffering from the side effects of mercury poisoning caused by a company that is in charge of manufacturing and dumping highly toxic chemical waste into the sea better known as The Chisso Corporation. Eugene decides to travel to Japan at a very critical time for him on a personal level but this trip will change many things in his life and in the lives of the people of this small town.
Como fotógrafo Eugene era reconocido solo por tomar fotografías a blanco y negro y honestamente puedo decir que ese tono de matices oscuros que utilizaron le dieron esa calidez a la historia que necesitaba para transmitir ese sentimiento de desesperación y ahogamiento por lograr obtener una respuesta y solución de la empresa responsable del sufrimiento de muchos de sus habitantes durante muchos años.
As a photographer Eugene was known only for taking black and white photographs and I can honestly say that the dark tones they used gave the story the warmth it needed to convey that feeling of desperation and drowning to get an answer and solution from the company responsible for the suffering of many of its inhabitants for many years.
Eugene llego como un voto de esperanza que se encargaría de contarle al mundo a través de su fotografía todo lo que estaban viviendo los locales de Minamata, es importante mencionar que las consecuencias que sufre un ser humano por envenenamiento por mercurio son altamente terribles, y por eso se le denomina enfermedad de Minamata por el sector donde se origino, esta enfermedad causa graves problemas neurológicos tanto a nivel
visual, problemas para hablar, pérdida de la audición, convulsiones, alteración sensorial en manos y pies y en muchas casos causa parálisis y hasta la muerte. Esta enfermedad es causada por la ingesta de pescado y marisco contaminados con mercurio, por lo tanto, si una mujer embarazada come estos alimentos será el feto quien absorba toda esa toxicidad naciendo completamente paralizados a nivel físico y sin un buen desarrollo neurológico, quedando en algunos casos en estados vegetativos.
Eugene arrived as a vote of hope that would be responsible for telling the world through his photography everything that the locals of Minamata were living, it is important to mention that the consequences suffered by a human being by mercury poisoning are highly terrible, and that is why it is called Minamata disease by the sector where it originated, this disease causes serious neurological problems both at the visual level, speech problems, hearing loss, seizures, sensory impairment in hands and feet and in many cases causes paralysis and even death.
visual, speech problems, hearing loss, convulsions, sensory alteration in hands and feet and in many cases causes paralysis and even death. This disease is caused by the ingestion of fish and seafood contaminated with mercury, therefore, if a pregnant woman eats these foods, the fetus will absorb all the toxicity and will be born completely paralyzed physically and without a good neurological development, in some cases remaining in vegetative states.
En mi opinión esta es una historia que te remueve todo, por lo tanto no es una película para entretenimiento en lo absoluto, porque nos viene a contar una historia real que te rompe por dentro, incluso en una de las escenas finales estuve apunto de llorar por lo impactante de la imagen de una de las victimas de este atroz acto, y que quedo plasmado de las tantas fotografías que capturo Eugene, y que pasaría a la historia, de verdad en ese momento me dieron ganas de llorar porque no te imaginas el sufrimiento que han de vivir los familiares de esas personas sin poder hacer nada por ellos más que cuidarlos, sin mencionar que casi la mitad de la película sientes una gran impotencia por todo ello. Sin duda Johnny Depp se metió en este personaje a fondo y esta escena es una de ellas, que demuestra la fragilidad que tenemos como seres humanos. Aunque su personaje es un poco o bastante desastroso a nivel personal, no deja de demostrar su calidez humana.
In my opinion this is a story that moves you all, therefore it is not a movie for entertainment at all, because it comes to tell a true story that breaks you inside, even in one of the final scenes I was about to cry because of the impact of the image of one of the victims of this heinous act, And that was captured from the many photographs that Eugene captured, and that would go down in history, really at that moment I felt like crying because you can not imagine the suffering that the families of these people have to live without being able to do anything for them but take care of them, not to mention that almost half of the film you feel a great helplessness for all of this. No doubt Johnny Depp got into this character thoroughly and this scene is one of them, which shows the fragility we have as human beings. Although his character is a bit or quite disastrous on a personal level, it doesn't fail to show his human warmth.
Para mi es una joya de historia, pero que no ha sido reconocida aún por todo el problema que ha tenido que vivir Johnny Depp a nivel personal, pero que sin duda es digna de reconocimiento, por su arte en general, aunque yo no soy una experta del cine, puedo decir que desde la banda sonora, la imagen, la dirección y la interpretación la hace un complemento perfecto y si le añadimos el punto más importante que es contar una historia de real, tendremos una súper producción que le abre los ojos al mundo y al grave problema que causa la industrialización a este nivel de toxicidad.
For me it is a jewel of a story, but it has not been recognized yet because of all the problems that Johnny Depp has had to live at a personal level, but it is certainly worthy of recognition, for its art in general, although I am not a film expert, I can say that from the soundtrack, the image, the direction and interpretation makes it a perfect complement and if we add the most important point that is to tell a real story, we will have a super production that opens your eyes to the world and the serious problem caused by industrialization at this level of toxicity.
Siento que esta es una historia y producción que merece el reconocimiento a nivel internacional, porque nos muestra una realidad que nos afecta a todos de manera directa, porque a pesar de que muchos nos beneficiamos del actual avance tecnológico y el modernismo, deberían existir leyes y castigos para quienes atenten contra el bienestar y seguridad del estado de salud de las personas que habitan cerca de todas estas fabricas industriales inescrupulosas. Y no solo reconocimiento por producción sino porque hay que defender la voz de aquellos afectados que durante años fueron marginados, desplazados, no tomados en cuenta como personas valiosas y que han tenido que vivir con este sufrimiento incesante por años, sin poder hacer nada, porque la vida de todo ser humano merece ser respetada.
I feel that this is a story and production that deserves international recognition, because it shows us a reality that affects us all directly, because although many of us benefit from the current technological progress and modernism, there should be laws and punishments for those who threaten the welfare and safety of the health of people living near all these unscrupulous industrial factories. And not only recognition for production but because we must defend the voice of those affected who for years were marginalized, displaced, not taken into account as valuable people and who have had to live with this incessant suffering for years, without being able to do anything, because the life of every human being deserves to be respected.
Porque si algo es cierto, nada de los alimentos que hoy en día ingerimos en casa son 100% naturales y orgánicos, sabemos que muchos de ellos son sembrados y creados a base de muchos químicos que aceleran su crecimiento y que por ende al pasar el tiempo es lo que nos va causando muchas de las enfermedades que hoy en día padecemos, así que por supuesto es que es una historia que nos afecta a todos directamente y que nos muestra el terrible daño que hace el egoísmo industrial inescrupuloso.
Because if something is true, none of the foods we eat at home today are 100% natural and organic, we know that many of them are planted and created based on many chemicals that accelerate their growth and therefore over time is what is causing us many of the diseases that we suffer today, so of course it is a story that affects us all directly and shows us the terrible damage done by unscrupulous industrial selfishness.
Sin duda es una historia que merece la pena verla, porque te abre los ojos y te expande el pensamiento más allá de nuestros propios problemas que a veces no suelen ser nada comparado a estos verdaderos sufrimientos, que por mucho tiempo se han visto sin esperanza alguna y cuando vean la película entenderán porque lo digo.
It is certainly a story worth watching, because it opens your eyes and expands your thinking beyond our own problems that sometimes are nothing compared to these real sufferings, which for a long time have been seen without hope and when you see the film you will understand why I say so.

›Minamata Movie Review (without Spoilers)@reviewzzz1847d
The story:
It revolves around real events that have already happened, namely the emergence of a toxic epidemic of mercury in the Japanese city of Minamata, and of course you see what is happening here through our hero, photographer Eugene Smith, who is required to take pictures... the press publishes them in order to answer what is happening there.. and we will see if he will succeed in achieving What is required of him or not??
The story is very good, and one of the best things is that it really discusses the reality that happens between the people who suffer from the disease and the responsible people, and we can very much consider that this is a projection and symbolism of almost the same situation that we live in.
Impression
The script had a message and one main road, but it is superficial, or in other words, it brings us some pictures or other situations, but in a not deep way, and this makes it a light film and at the same time difficult events.
Because you live in this atmosphere from the point of view of our hero.. who also has the biggest aspect in the film and that he focuses on his character and we see how something like this changes him a lot, whether in his personality or motives or even in his behavior and also the idea of filming served the film on a visual level and was excellent And very fun.
Finally, Johnny Depp, after the movie Black Mass, came back with a good movie and a nice role, and he performed very well and sometimes excellent.. but I think that this movie will not get its due because it is oppressed at the level of publicity.
Film defects
The film's flaws are many, but they are not big in a movie like this... I mean, there is no proper presentation of the characters... The rhythm itself in the first script was a little slow... The delay in introducing an important character in the events on the next side... Shifts that happen to other characters are not justified. .. Events that were promised if we see them in flashbacks, and we don't see them, and so on.
But in any case, I came out of the film happy, I liked it, and it is worth watching.
