A film about the life of a British journalist who exposed Stalin

The false news has not only begun with the current era of US President Donald Trump, but it echoed in 1933 when Welsh journalist Gareth Jones revealed the famine caused by Stalin because of his agricultural policy and resulted in death of 10 million people. Jones was accused of fabrication and charges were laid to cover up the truth.

Later, the famous English writer George Orwell was influenced by this in his novel "The Animal Farm". Many famous words of Orwell – "All animals are equal, but some are even more equal" – are sometimes repeated in the film.

James Norton, one of the protagonists of the McMafia series, was an excellent example of the character of journalist Garrett Jones, who was fortunate enough to be a journalist, and who was famous for being found in a plane with Adolf Hitler and who had been able to interview him exclusively.

In the film, directed by the Polish Aneeshka Holland, Jones goes to Moscow for allegedly pursuing an interview with Joseph Stalin as he did with Hitler, but he actually follows his journalistic instinct and sneaks into Ukraine , banned by journalists. Later, Jones writes on his shock in front of what he saw under the effects of famine and declares: "Everyone is shouting because there is no bread and the death of their destiny! "

• "Hay Life": a film about "sexual desire" in space

Although the film is a Polish film, it has three famous actors in Hollywood, James Norton and Vanessa Kirby as journalist Ida Brooks and Peter Sarsgaard as Walter Durante, editor of the New York Times Moscow.

Anniechka Holland, the 141-minute film, was nominated for an Oscar for Europe in Europe in 1990 and has recently received a great tribute for her contribution to the episodes of The Wire.

Throughout the film, Gareth Jones is the best of the journalistic profession, while Walter Durante is the worst – that's what Sarsgaard has created in his portrait to make the character more exciting than Jones himself.

Duranty Jones was accused of having made eyewitness accounts, although the story suggests that Durante himself knew the magnitude of the famine, but that he was close to the system Soviet and that others would probably have been under pressure.

The film sheds light on moral mistrust of power across London's gray, muddy landscape, where misery and austerity and old men reign and murmur in the dark as well as in the dark buildings of the Soviet Union.

The lights shine only during a gala ceremony during which Jones feels very anxious when Peter Sarsgaard is naked and may feel more compelled by the fate of the journalists as they strive. to forget those who pay them.

Gareth Jones seems so pure that you feel that he is not a human being. The viewer does not need many signals to understand what the ideals of the press should be today. Journalists in Berlin laughed when Norton Jones told reporters that journalists had to follow the facts "not one side nor the other".

But when eyewitness accounts of such famine are denied, one thinks of the hype that would have been the case on Twitter and the controversy that would have arisen in Jones' report today.

Holland reflects the relentless desire to believe in Stalin: many thinkers wanted Stalin to be an antidote to Hitler and were therefore unwilling to believe that his policies had provoked all these horrors.

The film quotes "It's No Hope So" by George Orwell, based on the credibility of Jones's account of the famine. But hope remains as long as the people of our world, like Gareth Jones, travel the Bekaa with their bicycles, thus revealing the truth to the world.
